Depends mostly on personal preference. On a take down bow i like limbolt quiver there are a ton of different ones, selway is my favorite. For one piece bows i like great northern strap ons because i remove them when i put my bow in a bow sock..and i like the looks of a GN.. A slide on selawy is good if you want to leave it on the bow. There are alot of quivers out there and everyone has there favorites.

Great Northern or Selway quick detach.
"Best" is subjective, but subjectively speaking I'd have to say my Eagle's Flight 'Cherokee' strap-on has been my favorite to use, hands-down. It's the bow quiver that brought me back around to liking bow quivers again. When attached properly, it doesn't move at all, no matter what bow I put it on - stout recurve or light, skinny-limbed longbow. It's well made, looks great, and it's very lightweight. It holds 4 arrows, which is all I need for a hunt. And it isn't expensive.
I think every bow has a quiver that is perfect for it. I have a Kanati longbow so 1st I tried a Kanati Pro Angle- nice quiver (great quality) but it felt out of balnce so tried a Kanati Pro strap on seemed to stick out to far from the bow. Tried Eagle Flight it was OK but the ThunderHorn strap on fit just right and balnced the bow perfect. It made the bow alot more quite and looks great! For the Kanati it is just right!
By the way I re-sold the other ones(on Tradgang) but had to take a ten dollar loss on each but it was worth it for perfection.
Kinda like ford or chevy......chocolate or vanilla.... :readit: :biglaugh:
I use an EFA Cherokee 4arrow quiver on my takedown Chek Mate Hunter 2.lightweight, doesn't move or make noise, do 't even know it's there
my buddy like it so much he bought one for his Samick and he has had not issues either
If I ever get another bow the quiver on it will definitely be another EFA

gotta agree!
For 3 piece great northern
One piece Big Jim
I love Selway slide-on quivers. I have one thats from the early 90's thats still great. Its been painted, stripped, dyed, soaked, & abused.
I think thats a tough question to answer definativly.Thier are alot of great bowquivers with different attributes.Some are very light,some moderatly light and some on the heavier side.If you want something lightweight the Eagles Flight quiver is hard to beat and the Thunderhorn small fry.The smallest Big Jim quiver is also lightweight.They hold 3-4 arrows.The strap on type quivers can work on virtually any bow in my experince
The Kanati is a little heavier.Its extemely well made.Its tough and built to last.
The Selway slide ons fit really tight and work well.It wont migrate up the limbs when pushed down the fadeouts tightly.But you need to unstring your bow and remove the string to take them off.May or may not be an issue for you.It has a little larger appearance than the some others
The riser insert quivers will have little to no effect on how your limbs recover.I dont really like to drill holes in my riser though.They certainly work well.
I really like the GN limb bolt because it slides in very close to the bow and that helps with bow balance.I think thats one of the key features of that quiver I like over other limb bolt quivers.It also has the quick detach feature thats very useful for easily removing the quiver without removing the bolts to get it off.That can be handy.
I have been using Eagles flight strap ons alot on both 3 piece bows mounted on the fadeouts right above the riser and one piece bows as well.The Talon straps hold well and they sit close to the riser for good balance and have little to no effect on how the bow shoots if you mount them down the fadeouts enough.
For eye candy the Thunderhorn is hard to beat and the Zipper wooden quivers as well.
I think all the popular bowquivers are well made and highly functional though and have thier backers for various personal reasons.
Great Northern. Light, capacious, and solid. I would rather carry the weight in arrows vs a heavy risered bow or quiver.
I have used all of the Selway quivers but the strap on and I like Selway quick detach the best.
i appreciate the responses, but just to be clear i wasn't exactly looking for the best brand but the best style of bow quiver that would fit my need(holds at least 4-5 arrows, quiet, i can leave it on and it won't affect bows performance)

could i leave the quick detach on my bow and would it work just as well?
Thanks for the response :)
I have tried them all, and love the Kanati the best.
I use a four arrow for the field and am very happy with it!

When you say them all please list them. I've only used Selway and Thunderhorn's. I read a lot of good things about Big Jim's and am considering buying one just to see. I love the Tunderhorns!
3 and 6 arrow kwikee kwivers for my Grizzly and Samick Volcano.
Selway slip on for the JD Berry Yaweh
Great Northern quick detach for the Predator and Hoyt Huntmaster
Various EFA's for the Shrew and my selfbows.
If you want light weight get an EFA 4 arrow.
No quiver is BEST, best should be followed by FOR ME. All of the most popular are good quality. With this post you'll get many different answers so you'll be able to compare and choose.For my part I've used the selway and lately the kanati.What I like more about the kanati is the angle of the arrows that put the fletching end closer in the bow or toward me. Good luck! :)
Not sure what you mean by style. Any quiver is a compromise and you need to figure out best suits you. A good quiver needs to be solid, lightweight and quiet. I shoot with the quiver installed, but still like a quiver that is easy on and off. I've used a few different ones, and the Great Northern strap on is my choice. I like my quiver to bring the fletching back inside the bow a bit. There are some that do this by design and I have modified my GN to do this. GN has been working on their design and will soon have a quiver out that will allow it.
I believe he wants to know which design (as to how it mounts on their bow and effects the bows shooting qualities)of quiver works best for guys on thier bows.A strap on type,Slide on like Selway,One that fits under limb bolts,or one that mounts on the side of the bows riser in the riser bushings?
What type of bow would the quiver be mounted on Bayhunter.Three piece or one piece?
thats exactly what i meant steelhead. it would be mounted on a three piece. thanks for the replies :)
I've used bow quivers a lot. I hunt from trees. I always take the quiver off the bow when on stand. I just don't like the weight and balance impacts on my bows.
I'm currently using a Habu bow quiver I've outfitted with straps to carry to the stand over my shoulder. I just looked at a cool strap over the shoulder one on Mr. LaClair's website.
But to your question. I have a Great Northern that attaches via limb bolt add ons that make off and on quick. I have one strap on that is well made but the straps fit very few of my bows--straps are too short.
Okay,
If i was only shooting a 3 piece TD I would seriously look at the GN quick detach that fits under the limb bolts.The thing thats best about the GN is that it adjusts in or out from the riser left to right.Thast allows you to put the quiver very very close to the riser.That will balance your bow out well and it wont want to tip to the side as much as one that sticks out from the bow riser farther.Plus its very well made and lightweight.It wont effect how your limbs recover since its not mounted on the fadeouts.Thats the one I would want personally if I was shooting 3 piece bows only.
If you want to remove it its easy and you dont have to dissemble the bow like other quivers designed to mount under the limb bolts.I think thats another nice quality that the G.N quick detach has.Its possible you may need to get a little bit longer limb bolts to accomidate the GN quick detach.
