any of you guys use a fred asbell side quiver? if so, how do you like it? thanks.
I love mine only when I dont need to carry anything else other than whats in my pockets, my bow and arrows.
When I need more room, I carry my possibles bag/quiver.
I will not part with mine. Worth it, in my opinion. Especially used. I got mine for $35
Best quiver I've ever used for hunting!
I made one from a Bear delta quiver.(added a strap)Pretty much the same thing.I didn`t like it.I had to use both hands to get a arrow out,one to hold the hood area and one to pull the arrow.And it moved around to much for me.I`ve tryed alot of differant quivers,but keep going back to the bow quiver.I realy don`t think there`s a perfect quiver for all situations.Good luck on your quest for "THEE" quiver.
I use one and find it very handy overall. Six broadheads and a stump shooter in it. Very light and versatile.

I have a GFA and really like it. Like Tom said 6 broadheads and a stumper. I bought the moose hide version from Ron LaClair and he was good enough to sign it for me. It has G Fred's and Ron's signature on it. Pretty cool I thought.
Do they come with directions? I got one used and am having a hard time making adjustments that look like I should be able to make. Maybe I need a book called "GFA Quiver for Dummies".
Tom, nice looking fox!
You threw me for a loop. At first glance, your quiver appears to be mounted on your bow.
Like mine much better than a bow quiver. Mine is easy to get an arrow out of one handed. I've drug it through head high sage brush, thick willows and used it in a treestand.
IMO its one of the best quivers out there. You can carry it with a back pack on or strap it to the back pack and it easy to move around when working through brush. You would be hard pressed to beet it.
crash; if you click on the quivers link on ron la clair's site, there are instructions from gfa on the different adjustments you can make to the quiver.
I made one a couple years ago, and I love it. East to carry, quick to get an arrow out of, quiet, and holds alot of arrows... can't beat it.

i also made one using a old delta quiver and a strap..pretty simple and basicly free...
i perfer a cat quiver though,,
I've tried other quivers, but my GFA is the best! Easy to carry.
this is one I made with a bag on it. every thing i need for a day of hunting

Been using one exclusively for years. I've tried just about every one out there and the Asbell is the one for me.

Works well but i like diffrent quivers for different situations
I have tried every quiver imagineable....both store bought and homemade. The GFA is what I have been using for several seasons. I bought 2 the first year they came out, and my son and I haven't used anything since.
Whether I am just going from the truck to treestand, or spending a day or so stumbling around, the GFA is perfect.
