Post by: SBBOW on April 24, 2011, 01:52:00 PM
I'm looking at possibly getting this quiver? What everybodies thoughts on this quiver pros or cons.

I picked up a used one in the classifieds.  Pros...pretty much everthing I can think of.  con's........(silence with the occasional cricket chirp).  Only thing I'd like is to make one with a brain tanned buckskin cover, some fringe and a beaded strap.  That would be sharp as all get out.

I've used one from New Mexico to Colorado to MS--I can't come up with any cons.  Excellent quiver--I'm shocked there was one for sale used.

I have one in the mail as we speak, got it used here on the site. Looking forward to giving it a go to see how I like it!

I have one, and I love it. It is a little long for when I mount it on the side of my backpack for those long multiple day trips. Or maybe I'm just short. Probably the later.
Very well made, and great features. Very quiet while hiking. With the cover on very weather proof. You will love it.

I've used mine for everything from busting brush in Alaska chasing moose to sitting in a blind hunting turkeys.  If you want a side quiver I think you'd be VERY hard pressed to find one that's more functional.  

In spite of the fact that Rod only kills small hogs his products are top notch!

i LOVE the safari tuff quivers, they're the only external quivers i'll use.  i've had both the arrowmaster and duiker and opted to keep the lighter weight duiker.  

if i'm not using the duiker it'll be an efa 5 arrow bow quiver, and sometimes i'll use both the efa and duiker to have lotsa ammo on hand for small game.

Love mine too, the only thing I would change about mine is I wish Rob made a strap that would go a little shorter for it. Mine seems to slip a little if the beaner is not hooked to a belt loop.

Great quivers, really like mine so far, have had it about a year. Easy access, holds a lot of arrows, and quite.

Nothing but pro's, no con's at all. Super quiver and Rod is a great guy to deal with.

Buy one, you won't be sorry. It is a very well thought out quiver.

I have both the Arrowmaster and the Duiker and love both of them. Like Rob, I also like the EFA bow quiver and sometimes carry both the bow quiver and the side quiver.

Are they right or left handed or just one model used both sides?

Wouldn't trade mine for anything.  Great quiver, and great customer service.  You can't go wrong.

Great functional quiver....little noisey when going through the brush while still hunting...being thinking about glueing something to the outside...maybe wool...anyone experimented with that????

Well, I have read just about every post about the arrowmaster. I have found almost zero bad comments about it.  The "bad" comments aren't even bad, only minor wishes.

I have decided to use Father's Day as an excuse to get one.  My son is only two, but I can read his mind: "if I had $$, I would buy my good ole dad a Safari Tuff.  I don't know what it is, but he deserves it"....   ;)

Fathers day is a good reason........

As soon as I get the arrowmaster, I will sell my Dawgware.  Not that the dawgware is that bad, I just like the style and obvious high quality (from reading posts here, and reviews on 3 rivers) of the safari tuff.

I have two...and one of the prototypes.  When the hunt calls for this type of quiver....it works flawlessly.

I've even carried The Arrow Master AND a bow quiver at the same time.  Those are always fun hunts.

I could never figure out how to remove an arrow quietly.  I may have been doing something wrong.  If there are feathers touching each other or the side of the quiver when you push the arrow up, there is going to be some noise.  I thought it would fine in a blind or stand, but removing an arrow silently with an animal nearby seemed unlikely.  Looking at the caliber of people who use the quiver I am guessing I was using the quiver incorrectly.

I opted for the Duiker model and really like it. Of course in hind sight I would now like the one with the side pocket. lol

I've been looking hard at these quivers for a horseback hunt this fall. I prefer my quiver on my bow but I'm wondering if the Safari Tuff wouldn't be a better choice on a horseback hunt?
Title: Re: Safari tuff arrow master
Post by: ronp on April 27, 2011, 05:58:00 PM
Well, that is a lot of real good feed back.  I have been thinking of getting one.  But Terry, what is the new prototype all about?

It is my favorite quiver, especially when it is wet outside.

A great product made by a great guy!
