I have a Kanati Pro strap on quiver that I switch between my bows. I am thinking of getting another bow quiver, and was wondering if I should get another strap on or maybe a limb bolt one, most of my bows are 3pc TD.
Which do you use, and why, pros-cons.
Thanks
Strap on for the same reason you have them...swap between bows.
strap on Big Jim's work great for me, especially for switching to another bow
I first had a slide on quiver. Used it on a number of different bows including 3 pc t/d's. I always wanted a bolt on version. Well now I have three versions...slide on, two strap on and a bolt on. They all serve a purpose. My suggestion would be to buy another quiver. I now have more options and less switching around of quivers.
I originally used a strap on great northern as a bow quiver....but have come to really like side quivers.
This gives you that option, you can use it as a bow quiver by adding the rubber straps....or as a side quiver with a piece of 550 cord, remove the rubber straps.
I'm like Joe, quiver poor lol. The chief side stalker and my great northern longbow quiver are the two I use and 99% of the time the GN is slung side quiver. I do use backquivers for practicing or small game/roving.
I would suggest the Kanati Angle Pro Quiver strap on. It has an adjustable bar to fit bows with different riser lengths. It can be used on a longbow, one piece recurve, three piece recurve, and an ILF bow. The new strap system makes putting it on and taking it off a breeze and it is rock solid. If you use two blade broadheads you may want to consider the Slim Jim Angle as well.

This is a Kanati Angle Pro used as a side quiver.
Sometimes I use it as a strap on.
both styles of quivers are a good choice what it comes down to is how much you are going change between bows,an often you take you bows down
Selway quick connect, great quiver, on and off with just a twist of the caps, most stable and secure removable quiver I have ever seen, the selway slide on is also a great quiver
I prefer the strap on efa quivers! Reason being with my kajika stiks I have a short riser/risers and I found with a bolt on the distance between the hood and where the arrows snap in is a shorter distance leaving longer tail of the arrows from the snap in to nocks causing more vibration and noise than I liked! With the strap on I extended the distance from the hood to where the arrows snap in leaving a shorter arrow hanging down and thus elimating the noise and vibration! Plus I think they look better and can bepulled off and changed to another bow with out taking the whole bow apart! Now I have another recurve with a long riser and hope to someday get a bolt on quiver for her(she would mate well with a good bolt on 5 arrow quiver)
Others have said they have trouble with strap on quiver not staying in place or sliding on them, I had this only once and found I didn't have the strap tight enough,no big deal! I haven't found any wear under the strap ons yet and don't expect to!! You milage may vary!
Great Northern Quick Mount on three piece takedowns. IMHO the best one out there.
I use a German Ridge spring quiver. Easy on and off. I've had 2 for about 10 years. No complaints. I take it off while in the blind but I can shoot well with it on. Dick
Gentlemen,
Maybe it's just me....but when I use a strap-on quiver I seem to shoot left. The bigger(heavier) the quiver, the more left I shoot. I use a "bolt-on" and my shooting comes back in line. I've tried every strap-on quiver.
My quiver of choice is the EFA with the limb bolt option. I have four of them and couldn't be happier with them. Although sometimes I use a Safari Tuff Arrowmaster.

X2 great northern...great quivers

Great quiver but I like the limb bolt model on my take down recurves. Very solid, adjustable, and removable with with two thumbscrews without unstringing the bow.
I like both but I like the one piece strap on quivers the best they never walk up the limbs like the two piece strap quivers do. I use the bolt on on my only bow that has bushings.
