Title: Quiver for Bear takedown
Post by: bswear on January 16, 2012, 08:12:00 PM
I have a new Bear takedown without inserts.  One A, one B.  What bow quiver would you recomend that would allow me to take off in the tree or in a blind?

bswear,
This won't answer your question, but...

I have a variety of bow quivers: limb bolt, riser inserts, strap on, and even a Habu that screws into the head of the limb bolt itself.

I don't like any of them on any of my bows, including Bear TDs. When I take them off my bow in the tree they are invariably unstable in terms of holding my arrows.

I've attached a strap to my Habu quiver and just carry it over my shoulder.

The one that was made for Bear bows...the spring arm quiver. They were made in the 60's and 70's, but look and work perfectly on Bear bows. The "only" quiver I use.

Roy,

That is my experience also.  I was hoping someone had tried something better.  I will continue to use the safari tuff but sometimes it's a hassle.

Adjustable strap on by Great Northern should work.  But if you're going to take it off anyway, might use something like the GFA quiver.

Why use a bow quiver at all if you're going to remove it?  I would think the best solution would be to learn to shoot with the quiver attached.  I have used one for many decades now and it has no effect on my shooting at all. (I shoot as poorly with it as Ido without it).

For me the reason you use a bow quiver is to avoid carrying something else.  Get to your destination and remove it! It's a big hassel in a sneak situation to drag seperate quiver along.  In this case you just leave it on the bow.
