Title: Eagles Flight Ultra Light bow quiver
Post by: Dave Paradowski on January 17, 2011, 04:13:00 PM
Does anyone one use or have opinions on the Eagles Flight Ultra Light bow quiver as seen on the Lost Nation Archery web site? I am especially interested in the three arrow model.

Thanks, Dave P

I have a two piece and one piece with the "totem" which is nothing more than an adjustable truss rod between the broadhead cover and the arrow gripper.   They're light, sturdy, steady and perfect for hunting.    I would recommend the 2 piece for a longbow and the truss rod model for a recurve and, I would also recommend the 4 arrow model but only because I like to carry a Zwickey judo when I hunt.

They are great quivers.

Get the 4 arrow quiver.

One of the best quivers on the market. Don is great to talk to also when you are picking your styles.

Almost all of my serious bows wear Eagle's Flights, and I put them on my son's bows too.  I think we have 7 now...I don't think you can beat them for the price.

My first one was the 3 arrow but it just seemed too little of a good thing, we greatly prefer the slightly larger 4 arrow.

Sent one down to Oz for John at Tusker to use too, he put it on his new Mark Kimber longbow and went to letting blood in a hurry.

There's one on every single bow I own. Best bow quiver money can buy.

I dont know if its the same model, but I liked the antler inlay on Dons quivers. I havent owned one, I use kanatis' myself. I like the larger size to accomodate my sasquaches  :archer:

They make different sizes to accomidate any head and they are all really light on the bow.Including the larger sizes.

I use a 4 arrow hood with a 3 arrow gripper.A little more room than the 3 arrow sized hood but still very light and alot of fletching clearance with the 3 arrow gripper on bottom.

I use that that configuration most the time.

I use the 3 arrow Eagles Flight all the time.  Also I find that it helps quiet by bow.  If I'm roaming and think I might need more arrows, I'll take a Great Northern side quiver too...Doc

The Eagles Flight quiver is a great addition on any bow, very light weight and solid. I like the Totem  and the extension "wing" that angles the arrows more in line with the limbs of my Shrew bow. This also helps keep the arrows from extending past the bottom limb on a short bow.

Stop at the Shrew bows booth at the Kalamazoo Expo and check out the EF quivers with the Shrew logo.   :wavey:

If you are going to Kalamazoo check out Ron LaClair. He has the latest quivers with the totem and wing options. Of course it's got the "Shrew" logo on the front.

The EFA bow quivers work especially well with lightweight high performance bows like the "Shrews".

Killdeer, There is something enchanting about the Virginia woodlands that you show so well in your photos.

At Eagle's Flight Archery we make a lot of different bow quivers. I thought that we'd share with you a couple of photos of what we worked on today for Ron LaClair. (I'm starting to get attached to that "Shrew logo.) These photos are of a Navajo I Jumbo II with the Totem and Wing attachments. It's what I use on my bows.

Don I like the black and brown leather, that'll really look good on those Shrew bows...    :bigsmyl:

Don, I was just on your website, is that green leather I see on the standard Navajo model? Looks like a nice match for the new Bear Kodiak Magnum with the green glass. Something I've been thinking about.

The woods show me the neatest stuff! I am so glad that old trees talk to you folks too.

"Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree." Now where did I hear that?

I do think that nature speaks to us when we take the time to stop and listen.

Tom,Ocassionally we will use green and black in a Navajo style hood. They do look good on a bow with green like some of the bear bows. I don't have a photo to show right now.

Don, I think that green and black hood would look great on the Shrew Spring Green Chameleon, with black leather on the grip of coarse.

Before we had an archery shop, we had a textile business. One day I found a wren's nest made almost entirely from small pieces of polyprophylene that somehow had been dropped over a period of time outside the building. I thought that it represented a great tribute to nature's way of adapting to man's transgressions.

To show a green quiver I thought that I would put it in the wren's nest for a photo. It was indoors and the flash was a little too much light but hope that you can get an idea of what the green quiver looks like.

Your mass cane (dracaena massangeana)could use a wipe-down with a damp cloth...

But the QUIVER looks good. Lots of green-glass bows out there again!

Put too much dust down....saw it right off    :nono:  

Don I think that green has possibility ...   :p

Looks like I got busted with the dust.

Killy, would keeping the leaves clean help the plant? (I thought that it was getting nutients from the dust.) Did you notice the different colors of yarn in the nest? I did wait until the family was raised before taking the nest.

Ron, green seems to be a difficult color to get right right. I'm not crazy about any of the normal green dyes out of the bottle, but they could be mixed to get different shades. Your quivers were sent yesterday by Priority mail. Have a good show at Kalamazo.

Thanks Don, I know you must have put in some overtime to get them done and it's much appreciated. I'm looking forward to offering your great quivers as an accessory to the Shrew bows.

My experience with the one on my bow last fall was very positive..   :thumbsup:

I have the 4 arrow quiver, with the totem and extension. very nice the way they strap to the limbs - easy on and off. Lightweight. I used this all last Fall.
