Got mine early  this year after years of every quiver under the sun.I like bow quivers  but the extra bow weight aggravates my shoulder injury .Ill tell you the Arrowmaster is the best quiver I have ever used.I use it now for everything 3D's,stalking ,treestands ,even with a pack it works fine.I like the fact I can now use one quiver for everything.Also,keeps your feathers dry in nasty weather.You wont be disappointed .

I received mine a few weeks ago. Best thing I ever did. I love it. Like legend said, you can use it for everything.

I love mine.  I wouldn't be without it and can't imagine a better design.  Hard to find a down side, but there are a couple things that could be negatives at times I guess.  These are nothing to do with the quiver, but have more to do with how you use it.  If you shoot a lot and put the arrows back in from the bottom a lot, you will have shorter feather life.  Not an issue for a hunting quiver, but I did notice this when using it for stuff like 3D.  Now I use a one arrow quiver to keep my active arrow on the bow when not in use all the time. Sometimes I keep one more in a pocket quiver and then all my extra arrows and stuff in the quiver pushed around farther on my back out of the way.   If you are packing a stand, back pack and then the quiver it can be a pain to organize all that stuff on your back.  For that type of thing I kind of  like a bow quiver that I can remove when on stand.  Other times I put the quiver on the stand and just carry the back pack in hand.

I just ordered one myself. From all the reading i did it seems like it will be a great quiver for the type of hunting I do. I am very new at trad archery, but have decided to jump in with both feet.

you've got to use the search engine before posting a question.

the safari tuff side stalker quivers are super light and TUFF.  i use the duiker, it works just great for me.   :thumbsup:

Great for 3-D and stumping....I did not like it for hunting, mine made to much noise!

Placed merely one item a month ago on my Christmas wish list.

The Safari Tuff quiver.

Still on the fence regarding which model.
Thought I was settled after some thought but again have found myself back on top the fence since Rob chimed in.

I love mine.  I can't think of a single con so far and I've been using it for a couple years now

fwiw, i've had both safari tuffs.  

the main difference 'tween the arrowmaster and duiker is the big side accessory compartment and the weight, as the duiker is 14ozs versus the am's 21ozs.  i always hunt with a loaded fanny pack and prefer to keep that kinda weight close around my waist rather than on the moving quiver.  this is a significant overall quiver weight savings.  i could stuff a dozen woodies into a duiker if need be, but mostly went out with 8 bh's and 1 judo.

I have used one for about three years now.  Overall, it was a good purchase. The only time I have experienced noise with this quiver is when I am forcing my way through heavy brush.

Thanks to Rob I am now falling over on the other side of the fence.

Again Rob, thanks!. You must have both sensed and anticipated that a PM was immanent.

:D

btw, after getting an email from pat, a 29.5" arrow w/wensel woodsman will totally disappear inside of a duiker.  :)   :wavey:

What noise???? When on my Elk hunt this fall, every time I got in the thick dark timber all I kept hearing was things brushing against the quiver....for me, unacceptable!! I still hunt alot and it don't work for me. Like I said, great for stumping and such and very well made....just not for me hunting.   :notworthy:    :campfire:

Friend,
Now fall back to the other side    :D    The arrowmaster with the large accessory pocket is a turkeys hunters best friend. I found it very helpful for extra pair of gloves, face mask, snack, state call. Extra Trumpet, wingbone.

Bow in hand and quiver on. Time to chase them turkeys    :thumbsup:   I cant help on the other quiver model. Best quiver I have used. Talk about quite  :thumbsup:

MJB...That's not fair...you mentioned gobs and turkey trumpets.

You must have some inside information. I wiil bite on anything that smells like a gob.

I like the big pocket. I can stuff my facemask and stuff in there quickly as needed and carry a lot of neccessities too. I eliminated some other packs with this quiver. Well made. Like everything, it has to fit your needs, and it fits mine.

Used mind for three years for whitetail, elk and pronghorn and I love it. No one quiver is perfect, but this one is close.
