OK I havnt had a bow quiver on any of my bows since about 1971( maybe 1972) DONT LIKE THEM But now im going to be carrying on my back, a blind, decoy and stool to put in the blind, so none of my back quivers will work.
I need a bow quiver that will come off and on quickly when i get in the blind and will carry at least 4 arrows ( I miss a lot ). Doesnt have to be quiet cause I wont shoot with it on . ANy ideas? It will have to be secure enough that I dont worry about it walking in and out. Some times a mile or more each way. Any hlep or suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thanx Dan
The Eagle Flight Archery(EFA) 4 arrow quiver.They are in the sponsor's list.They have velcro straps and you want the one with Totem,which is a shaft connecting top and bottom.And I know you don't need it but they are very quiet and light and don't affect the bow when shooting.
Big Jim sells an awesome quiver that would work perfect for you. He's a sponsor here and has a nice video on his site showing how it works. Price is right too.
Ditto on Big Jim's bow quiver.
Another vote for Big Jim's quivers
great northern...I too dislike bow quivers but use this one when I have to. I have the adjustable one so I can use it on my recurves and longbows.
I dislike strap on quivers for the most part. If you have limb bolts I think the Great Northern is swell. If you have amo inserts I like the Kwikee Kwiver, Tight Spot, and Bohning quivers all equally well. If you must use straps then I recommend GN because it is the lightest, that I have experienced anyway.
Why not use a side quiver? Would that work for yah?

Thanx guys I like all the suggestions and will certainloy look at all these options. I like the idea offthe side quiver here and also some of the others I appreciate allthe info Dan
Yet another vote for Big Jim, although my favorite quiver is the Arrowmaster side quiver.
A bow quiver can be a big plus for a lot of reasons including: the convenience of having the arrows near, eliminating the possibility of forgeting arrows, doesn't snag on brush like a back quiver or hip quiver, and they can act as a stabilizer resulting in better shot groups. It can also make the bow shoot quieter and even lesson handshock on some bows.
With a lightweight (in mass) bow, I personally find that a light weight 4 arrow quiver works well. I like them for 3-D, stump shotting, and hunting. I'll try to bring up a photo of one.

When I was shooting in competition back in the early 70s, to shoot hunters class you could not use a bow quiver as it could be used for a sight.
I got away from them then due to that and have ne ver liked them since BUT as I have developed a need now I have reconsidered and in fact just took a lot of the advice here and did some other research and then ordered one from BIg JIM a few mnutes ago I appreciate allthe advice and the opinions its just what I asked for and got Thanx again guys Dan
I picked up a Alpine 7 arrow quiver at a garage sale for $5.00. I then laminated some leather together and added a belt loop on it. I mounted the quiver bracket to the leather pannel, add a belt from a old safty harness and I have a hip quiver that pops on and off real easy without playing with the belt. I used this Rabbit hunting some and was really supprised how well it worked and did NOT catch on the underbrush I was walking through!!
German ridge makes a spring arm system that goes on and off in just a couple of seconds, yet fits secure enough for a shot with no noise.
Ditto what George Vernon said. Fastest on/off quiver on the market.
Depending on the bow and how you feel about it...
You could put in a couple inserts and mount a Quickie. They come off really quick and easy.
I did that with an old herters and really like the result
