I have been looking a catquivers and different back quivers since the season ended. I don't shoot quite as well with a quiver on my bow and my quiver rattles just a bit which bugs me. My question is what back/cat quivers do you guys use while hunting? I mostly tree stand hunt but I will use it on the ground turkey hunting this spring.
I have used the Cat Quiver II, enough pockets for gear and still not to big to be an issue. Cat Quivers aren't for everyone....seems you either love'm or hate'm...lol!
I like my Safari Tuff Arrowmaster much better than my CatQuiver.
I tried a Safari Tuff, nice quiver.......sold it and still have my Cat-Quiver. Like I said you like'm or you don't!
I love a Catquiver right up till I need to use a climber stand or carry a pop up blind, then I need a bow quiver.
If you mainly do spot and stalk, use a hang on stand or hunt from the ground, Catquivers are awesome. :thumbsup:
Much easier getting arrows into and out of the Arrowmaster. :bigsmyl: Even if you use Muzzy or Thunderhead broadheads. :p ;)
I like my back quiver or my GFA quiver, probably the most versatile quiver I ever had and I've tried all types. The GFA is my "go-to" quiver.
I like my CQ4 and CQ2. They are fun and pretty convenient. Eventually I'm going to sell the CQ2 because I promised my wife I would, when I bought the 4. But they are both pretty good quivers.
The CQ can be more difficult for me (full-length 2216s) in brush, or when kneeling down, making it more difficult to remove arrows. But for walking around, it's a blast. If you practice inserting and removing arrows a few times, it becomes as natural as taking your wallet out and putting it back in.
Started using a cat quiver this season. By new predator just did like a bow quiver. Really like the cat quiver. Need to work a little to get arrows back in.
I can't remember which model I had but it was like a day pack with side pockets around the waist. Really nice if you need to haul a bunch of stuff with you. Getting on arrow out was easy but putting it back in was an other story. I'd buy an other in a heart beat if I needed something like that again.
I think a better bet is if you need a pack also is to buy a good pack that fits your purpose/needs then strap a CAT 1 or GFA. to it.
Tried em all. GFA with a fletch cover for me.
I almost always use a bowquiver, but, I also really like the GFA style quiver. The GFA is nice in that it can be carried at different angles. I've even been known to carry both at the same time :thumbsup: :campfire:
I have a cat and just picked up a back quiver. Went stumpin with the back quiver today. Liek them both so far. I can't really say I like one for than another from a functional perspective, however, I like the back quiver better from a "Traditional" perspective.
I use a Cat Quiver III and have for years.....practice slipping around and under stuff in the off season.....takes a little getting used too..... :archer:
I ise the cq for turkey and most of deer season. Be carefull when its loaded with scary sharp heads. I almoat cut myself a few times. Lucky for me my shooting glove took the cut not me. I still like em though.
I don't know that there is a single quiver that's best all the time. I love my bow quivers but the first time I went to Canada moose hunting and my fletching was soaked for two days I bought a Cat Quiver 3. I just picked up a Cat mini for roving around.The backpack on the three holds more than enough for all day hunting and fletchings stay dry . I still have bow quivers as well and they still see action.Oh ya my traditional back quiver is great for 3 d shoots.
You might want to also check out the Safari Tuff and the Elite arrow quivers. They both cover the fletches for weather resistence can be strapped to a backpack or climbing stand when hiking in and both are top quality side quivers. Personally I like this style best for hunting whether it's spot & stalk or stand hunting.
All you guys that like the Cat 1 and GFA quiver(or any other side quiver)you need to check out HighNoonLeathers quiver, way more versatile and the workmanship is a 11+ Serves as a back quiver a side quiver..ect. ect. Must be a dozen different ways to wear it.

I do not like bowquivers and I do not care for catquivers. I have had several of each and they just don't do it for me. The best quiver I have found for my purposes is the Safari Tuff.
I had a Safari -Tuff and it was good for everything....till I went Elk hunting. I just made to much noise scraping against all the stuff it the dark timber, Great product but not for my usage! Where I hunt up in this part of the world I got the same result.

HighNoonLeathers!
LOL....it's good they make something for everyone... :thumbsup: :notworthy:
I knew Jerry back when he started making them and still have one. I also made one from aluminum that is sturdy as heck. There have their place and the can actually make less movement on a second shot than most other kinds of arrow carriers. Shoot ,drop the bow at a correct angle while reaching for number two, and then slide it on the string. Lot less than a back quiver

I have been using my new Art vincent back quiver and absolutely love it. I also have a High noon Hunter and it is by far my favorite hunting quiver.

I'm with Gregg ... I own a few Cat Quivers and have use them when the weathers gets gloomy and they worked well ...
And then I got my Arrowmaster from Rod ... all the positives , plus quieter , more maneuverable, safer and none of the negatives ...
