Title: Quiver for recurve help pictures please
Post by: rluttrell on May 12, 2012, 10:18:00 PM
I am in the market for a 5 arrow quiver. My bow was made for me and has no bolt holes in it. Please post pictures too if you can.
Thanks

I think I might have one of every make, but Great Northern adjustable is my favorite. It fits almost any bow type and the feather separation is great.

I had to give one (non-adjustable) to my girlfriend, she was gonna steal mine...

Kanati strap on with big hood or a thunderhorn strap on. Thunderhorn will build a quiver to match your bow.

I've narrowed it down to a Selway, Kanati, or Thunderhorn.

The Great Northern looks cheaply made to me, but I have never tried any of them.

Selway is on the top of my list just because of capacity, and looks.

Thunderhorn strap-on has a very secure mounting system and good capacity. Eagles Flight is hard to beat for a small, unobtrusive quiver. Kanati is great also, beautifully crafted. I.ve had problems with the Selways moving down the limbs if you shoot a lot, and you have to un-string  to remove them. Maybe they've changed the mounting system?

Thanks guys but can you post pictures of the way it mounts to the bow too?

Ive had thunderhorn , selway, Kanati and EFA... Great Northern is my choice.. It mounts with straps and rides closer to the bow.

You cant go wrong with a great norhtern adjustable.

I have a selway and a GN.  Both are really good and you can't go wrong with either of them, but I prefer the GN.  I like the feather clearance on the GN better.

I've tried all the popular quivers, & theyre all great, but i the GN is the only one i use.  its light weight, tough, and simple to mount.  sorry, ive been haveing difficulty posting pics.

GN is the best 5 arrow I've used. I now have a smaller EFA that I like a lot as well.

For a strap on I like Big Jim's quiver

Great Northern are extremely well built

I have a number of quivers and I would have to recommend the Big Jim strap-on to use when you can't use a bolt-on type quiver.  Although the one I own is a four arrow medium size, they are available in the five arrow size as you stated that you want. Big Jim is a sponsor here, go to his web site and view the video of how easy it is to install. I also will add that the quiver is mounted close to the bow and the vibration proofness is as good as I've ever seen due to the heavy neoprene strapping system.

Creekwood-

For now, I am using Magnus Snuffers which are a fairly long broadhead. Do you think the medium size would work?  I checked out the vid at your suggestion and I like the way Big Jim's quiver works and the take off the bow option.  Thanks for the info.

p.s. I used to live in Mason City and my sister still lives in Nora Springs.

Tom, Ya need to call Big Jim and ask him, he is a straight-up guy and I'm sure he can answer that question.
Title: Re: Quiver for recurve help pictures please
Post by: BigJim on May 14, 2012, 08:30:00 PM
Thanks guys. If you are using big three blades, a medium will handle 4 tightly and a large will handle 5 tightly.

I have been able to do just that while using my BigJim broadheads. You must plan out placing for optimum room.

thanks, bigjim

Jim, my desert ironwood veneered TC looks great with the quiver pictured in my previous post. I threw it on that one-piece recurve so Tom could see what it looks like and it makes that old Wing Slim Line look good too. That is a heck of a good quiver.

Creekwood - that's a great looking quiver on one of my favorite bows!     :clapper:

TomBow - it's a small world with your sister living in Nora Springs.  That's where I live also.

You can't go wrong with any modern quivers on the market today.

Great northern strap on for all my one piece bows. Great Northern Quick Mount on all my 3 piece bows!
