Title: big jims quivers?
Post by: Southern Sam on January 16, 2011, 09:08:00 PM
I was taking a look at these quivers and liked how easy they detach. I don't like to shoot wih a quiver on, but if I need to in a quick situation I would like to know if its quiet and stays put.
Thanks, Sam

IMHO the best small quiver made,for the price can't be beat.It does not move,and light as a feather.

Thanks! That's what I like to hear. Are you able to take arrows out when not attached and it it won't fold over on ya? Also what is in the hood, foam or free floating? And can you use small diameter carbons like beman MFX? Sorry for all the questions but I have been looking for the perfect quiver for me and really hoping I have found it!
Thanks

I'm with Steve on this one also.Can't beat a Big Jim quiver.

Most guys don't have problems with small carbons, but if you let me know when you order, I can make a special gripper for small carbons.

Yes you can take arrows out when not on the bow, but it is a two piece, so when you get down to just 2 you may have it move on you.

Thanks for the help guys, BigJim

If they will work on a Quinn Stallion recurve I'm going to order one. I especially like the easy on and off as I take quiver off when in tree stand.

Hoyt,the one nice thing about Jims Quiver is it doesn't matter how big your limb wedges are right next to your riser.The straps will easily go around them.It is so easy to install and take off.I got the smallest and just love it.Perfect for small lite bows and longbows.

Just got mine last week.  Yes to using MFX shafts in it...perfectly sized for that.  Very quiet...order a larger head than you think you need.  Mine is a 5 arrow and I should have ordered the large hood.  The rubber straps are heavy duty and once it's on, it ain't going anywhere.

Those sure are some fine looking quivers Big Jim has. I hope all this buying doesn't run him out.

I've never heard of these quivers until this thread.  Of course I'm only into my Sophomore year of trad shooting so there's a lot I haven't heard about.  

BigJim, will you be at Kzoo, and will you have some of these quivers there for purchase?
Title: Re: big jims quivers?
Post by: BigJim on January 18, 2011, 11:56:00 AM
I wish I could be there, but I have no bows to display at this time. The booth space is too high for me to bring my supply set up. I will try to do better for next year.

thanks, bigjim

Can the medium hood accept 5 arrows or would I need the large hood?

Thanks
Jake

I just visited the website and watched the video.  Wow! I had discounted strap-on quivers as not being easily detached and hung in the tree when I'm on stand. The video shows how easy this is to do and how well it works.

I'm getting ready to send BigJim two bows for dipping pretty soon. They may have to come back with quivers!

Just got my notification that my quiver shipped today.  Can't wait to get it!
Title: Re: big jims quivers?
Post by: Bodork on January 21, 2011, 08:29:00 PM
Perfect timing on this thread for me. I've been wanting a new bow quiver because mine is a piece. It has velcro on nylon straps with a piece of metal that holds the hood to the arrow gripper. It's heavy and you can't get the straps tight enough. I have been putting a piece of rubber under the straps for years now. I looked at big jims video a few weeks ago and was impressed. With these great reviews, I'm sold. Thanks!
Title: Re: big jims quivers?
Post by: Bowwild on January 21, 2011, 08:41:00 PM
Me too. I sent BigJim an e-mail asking how to decide whether I need small, medium or large?  Mine will be on a recurve and I only want 4 arrows.
Title: Re: big jims quivers?
Post by: daniel boon on January 22, 2011, 03:52:00 PM
bowwild, i would also be interested in what size hood would be best for a 4 arrow gripper

It really depends on the size of the broadhead you're using as to what size quiver you need.  I shoot Big Jim heads and Mag I heads so I went with a Large quiver with 5 arrow gripper from Jim.

Post by: Frenchymanny on January 22, 2011, 04:28:00 PM
Go with the large,especially if you shoot large broadheads

Title: Re: big jims quivers?
Post by: Bowwild on February 25, 2011, 10:41:00 AM
I went with small hood and it is great! I shoot 2-blade BHs. Plenty of room in the hood. My narrowest of narrow 600 spine MFX Classics fit the gripper just right.

I have to admit once again, I'm a lefty and our stuff just naturally works great!

Check out the Kanati quiver from Annewakee Archery. They are great quivers and they have several styles too choose from. Excellant folks to deal with too.

I just received two from Big Jim and they are great.  Very secure on the bow and hold arrows tight.  No problems here.

Got mine and they are nice. Very easy to put on and take off. Hold arrows very tight. Best bang for the buck.
