After 2-3 years of developing this bow quiver we have finally put together what we think is a premium and unique product to adequately hold 4 two blade broadhead and a blunt or judo point. We are now building some inventory and will be making several variations using different color leathers and even some exotic hides such as beaver, snake, etc.
We hope to get these on our website soon but until then you can call in an order. Also, we hope to have them in the hands of some of our premium dealers and bowyers soon. (Right now only Ron LaClair has them in black and brown.)
Here are some of the initial photos that are representative.

Solid color hoods in three different colors.
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n64/2fletch/DSCN1075.jpg)
They come with our proven "totem" and "wing" features. I'll add some additional photos later.

This photo is the two color Navajo version.

(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n64/2fletch/DSCN1079.jpg)
One of these is with stingray on the front. I'd love to see it on a black bow with Ted Nuggent black and white zebra patterned gold tip arrows.
-
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Very nice Don!This reminds me that I have to get a hold of you about the photo contest :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
How much are they Don?
-
Guru, you are right, and your timing couldn't be better. Just let me know when and what you would like. Say hello to that young man of yours, he's special.
KentuckyTJ, They will retail at $95-100 with the Totem and Wing features for a standard model. Custom orders using exotic skins will be slightly higher depending on the skin. You can purchase the quiver without the Totem or Wing with a savings of $10.00 for each of them.
-
Looks like a fathers day present to me.........(Katie please read this ASAP).... :biglaugh:
-
Wow I like those! I'm gonna need a couple!
-
dont see them yet on your web sight when they going to be up would like one
-
AWESOME :archer:
-
They look nice and compact. Can't tell from the pic, but how is the fletching clearance?
Danny

Keefer, it is very different from any other quiver. We stack the broadheads two by two with a place for a judo or blunt in the middle making it a 4 + 1 arrow quiver. There is not much about it that is similar to any other.
As for a name, no, we haven't named it yet. It's like naming your first born. We have considered names from the "Patriot" to "Geronimo", and even "Eagle's Nest" but none seems to fit exactly. Ron LaClair has named his Shrew version the "Edge". I like that. I suggested to Karen that we have a contest but she thought that it was to soon to have another one. What do you think? (Anyone can answer.) Should we have a contest to name it? We could give one as a prize for whoever suggested the name that is adopted. If you would like to participate then suggest a name, but limit it to no more then three names...,and don't tell Karen.
-
I'll toss out Raptor for the name.
-
Slim Jim
Slim Pickin's
Plain old, Slim Quiver.
-
Looks great Don. Do you have a gripper for skinny carbons? I will toss in a couple of names " Slapshot",or "Flatline".
-
How about "The Sheath" or the "Arrow Sheath"
-
EFA Slicer. Its thin and it packs some real slicer's.
-
Looks like it would fly like "THE STEALTH".
Lyle
-
I suggest "Two Blade" by EFA.
-
I like the name. The Oddessy notsure of the spelling
-
As usual, some mighty fine looking and functional
EFA quivers. I saw the Stingray last night and it's awesome!!
-
EFA Galvdoli Quiver-
Galvdoli is Slim or Skinny in Cherokee.
-
Wow, already some good names have been suggested. I won't give anything away for awhile but two of the first 10 names mentioned were already on my short list of ten.
Jeff, I like the idea of a Cherokee name but that's not an easy name to spell or pronounce.
Randy, Steve was in a hurry but I can't believe how quickly he latched onto that stingray quiver. Frankly, he might be overdressed for the bear hunt that he's going on.
Keep it up. There are still plenty of names available.
:biglaugh: :archer2:
-
I also thought about the EFA Hisgi. Hisgi is the Cherokee word for five, 4 blades + 1 blunt/judo.
A bit easier to say too. Thought it was fitting seeing that NC was homeland for large amount of Cherokee.
-
Heck with the name, when and where can we buy it! :pray:
-
:archer:
-
how about Cobra ,for the flat hood, or Diablo !
-
how about:
2x4 (2 blades x 4 arrows)
blade
razor
-

Give Don a call. I ordered mine today.
-
awbowman, for awhile we will be sorting out things like what solid colors for stock items and what kind of exotic skins to offer. Right now you can order in black, dark brown, light tan, or a reddish brown. You can also get the hood with or without the totem or wing features.
We will be offering a two color version also, similar to some of the quiver in the earlier photos.
Our biggest drawback now is to come up with an appropriate name. We're counting on you to help us there. We'd like to have that accomplished by the end of this weekend.
pdk25, your quiver should ship today.
-
Great, Don!
-
Eagle's Flight Archery Talon. When an Eagle gets something in its talons it ain't getting away.
-
Jeff, the word "talon" is already being used by EFA. That's our limb wrap system. I have looked at Native American names like "Elohi" - earth, "Wana" - hickory, "Newai" - sky, and "Awahili" - eagle. Some of these names can be a little hard to remember. Something like "Patriot" would be easier.
Right now "Raptor", and "Stealth" are in the lead, but we are open until about Sunday. This is a chance to help name an item that should be around a long time and win one for the effort.
-
I saw that it was being used a bit ago.
I don't know, raptor and stealth are sort of used alot. Not so catchy, like "extreme".
It needs something unique.
-
I like the 2x4. May be bad for informational purposes, but once you know what it's about, pretty cool name.
-
How about "Mahkah" - earth, "Mahpee"- sky or
"Makya" - eagle hunter...last one is my favorite...these names are Native American also.
-
Almost forgot, what is max size braodhead that it will take and fully cover, width and lenth?
-
I like Razor as a name -- per khardrunner's suggestion. It is razor thin and sharp (as in a sharp idea that is good-looking)
-
how about the "Raptor Razor" or the "Perigrine" or "Stealth Hawk"
-
When Ron LaClair told me that he was calling his the "Edge" my next thought was "Razor's Edge".
Awbowman, it will take about a 2 7/8" length and about 1 7/8" width. A 3" length is showing but very slightly.
I like "Makya" and "Stealth Hawk".
-

PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURFECT! thanks 2fletch

;)
-
fine lookin quivers
i like double stack for a name
-
how about RazorHawk or Goshawk since you like the Raptor series of Avians/sp?
-
One synonym for flat is laid low.I like E.F.A. Laid Low quiver.Has a duel meaning of what we try to do to our game we hunt.Kip
-
Since it will hold 4 two blade broad heads. And a blunt or judo point.
How about DOUBLE TROUBLE
-
The name selected will be probably a Native American name, or an animal, or bird. or something in nature...something..."real", and in good taste.
We will bring this to a conclusion by Sunday when we pick a winner. I hope that most of you found it interesting and positive, and we thank you for your participation.
-
Tawodi is Cherokee for hawk.
-
"Sagei" is supposedly cherokee for "thin"
"Gosdaya" is supposedly cherokee for "sharp"
-
Eagles nest would go great with EagleWing Bows!!!
I'm going to have to get some of these.What attachment systems are you going to have? Can we get them with different attachments? such as with brackets for bows that have bolt attachments. Under bolt attachments for takedowns. Or are they strictly rubber band attachments?
God bless you ,
Steve

Sissapawhaw Stealth Quiver.
Nice looking quiver Don!
Bud

Steve, "Eagle's Nest" was an early choice of mine but my wife says that it has a bad association because Hitler's retreat had that name. Of course if you bought them for resale (with your logo)then you could name them what you wanted. They will be available with or without the totem or wing attachments, and with the option of either side mount, limb bolt, or wrap. The retail cost for a solid color quiver (yet unnamed) will be $75.00 for the basic quiver and an additional $10.00 each for the totem and wing. Yes, we do have a dealer program.
For the record, Don Batten and I have discussed a recent incident and it's resolved. I hold him in high regard as a person, hunter, target archer, and a former fellow member of the 82 Airborne Division.

How 'bout Eagle's Flight "Aerie" :dunno:
aer·ie or aer·y also ey·rie or ey·ry (âr, îr)
n. pl. aer·ies also eyr·ies
1. The nest of a bird, such as an eagle, built on a cliff or other high place.
It's a place that holds "stuff" related to eagles, and it sounds a bit like "aero"dynamic, which fits the look of your new design...
Looks like you have another winner, here, Don!
Daryl
PS- This carries the same basic notion as "Eagle's Nest," but without the potential negative historical connotation.
-
That's a good looking set up, nice job.
My vote is for the name "Papoose" since it is small and could attach to the back of the bow similar to how squaws carried their young on their backs...
Good luck,
Brad
-
How about "OTAKTAY" - kills many (Sioux)
"MOTEGA" - new arrow.
"MAKYA" - eagle hunter( Hopi) is still my favorite.
Hubert
-
I hope you make an optional deeper version,about 3.5 inches, for the Tuffheads,Grizzlies, etc. I like ALL of the cutting edge covered. Geat product I have wanted for a long time.
Thanks.
-
Quick Draw is not Native American but sure sounds good to me.
-
I have thought on this quite a bit but have not seen or come up with the right name. Some of the suggestions were good, but not just right. I'd like to throw some ideas out to anyone who wants another shot at it.
Some names that I considered are: Providence, Carolina Eagle, Eagle Summit, Eagle Abode, Eagle Mesa, etc. I'd like your opinion on these as well as others using the "Eagle" name. ("Screaming Eagle" is out since I was in the other airborne unit the 82nd Airborne.) You may use these as a springboard to come up with might be the name that is used.
Today was to be the day the name was decided but unless the moderators run out of patience I hope to go until next Sunday or until someone hits a ringer. :deadhorse:
-
"Eagle Aerie"
-
Eagle Claw
Eagle's Feather
Soaring Eagle
-
Eagle Spirit
-
Rick, I like that name "Eagle Aerie", but when I looked it up found out on one site that it was a name that is very popular now for newborn baby girls.
The word "Mesa" means a flat top ridge which would be an appropriate term for the hood description. Now, what sounds good with "Mesa"?
-
Here's another version Don.
Noun 1. eyrie - the lofty nest of a bird of prey (such as a hawk or eagle)
-
"Feather on the Mesa"
-
Eagle's Nest
-
We're repeating, here...
Don, even if the word is temporarily being used as a "fad" kid's name (this too shall pass), the images the historic use brings to mind are good ones to me. Wild, Inaccessible, Free, Safe Haven, Majestic...
Guess I'll see what else may come to mind.

The Eagle Blade (because it is thin).
The Raptor (because an eagle is a raptor).
No matter what name you choose, you have a good looking quiver there. It looks efficient and stealthy. And, of course, that is what everyone wants in a hunting situation. I like the design a lot.
-
OK, how about one "from out of the blue"? (Kinda like an eagle, right?)
The Eagle's Nest "Killie" quiver, in honor of our own inestimable Killdeer. Like her, the new quiver is Svelte, Smart, Stealthy, Sage, and... Super-duper! (OK, I was tired of thinking of "S" words.)
I believe it is time for another cup of coffee. :rolleyes:
-
Starting to like "Eagle Eyrie".
-
Eagle's Clutch.
-
Kinda think you'll like the reference... me hopes.

Eagle's Nest
Eagle's Grip

"FLAT TOP"

Not an Eagle, but a hawk..."The Sharp-shin"

I still Eagle's Clutch.
-
Stalking4elk, our next move will be to make a larger hood for the really long broadheads. I have already drawn it up. This current hood will fit up to about 2 7/8" X 1 7/8" comfortably.
There have been some great names suggested and I like many of them. That may be a problem...so many great names. I have gone from "Lone Star Mesa" to "Eagles Nest" and a lot of Native American names in between. Also,maybe "Micro Mesa" or "Sioux Mesa", or "Maya Mesa", or "Inca Mesa", or "Aztec Mesa" etc. See what I mean? Someone call 911. :deadhorse:
-
"The Grand Mesa" would be good for that Larger one Don! I think there is a place called the Grand Mesa but not certain...Or "Mega Mesa" for the Bigger hood like the "Micro Mesa" for the smaller version... :dunno:
-
It's a great quiver, it rides on the bow like a tick on a hound dog. Here's how it looks on the Shrew bows.
http://www.shrewbows.com/quivers_edge/index.html
-
Question: If ordered without the totem feature can a blunt tipped arrow still be carried, attached to the quiver? I can't tell from the pictures.
-
Rick, without the totem you have a center pocket that you could use to put the nock end of a blunt. I may be able to come up with a photo tomorrow to show that.
-
Winged Eagle, Eagles Klaw, Eagle Eye, Moon Eagle, Eagle Feather, Night Eagle, Wind Eagle, Eagle Mesa heck thats all I can think off, my brain is fried
-
Don,
How about this for the name; aeetus
Taken from The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus Greek hali = salt, aeetus = eagle, leuco = white, cephalis = head)
Just a thought. Mike
-
(http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n64/2fletch/DSCN1117-1.jpg)
This is a view of the quiver without the "totem" feature. The center pocket is the same size as the other four pockets. However there is a locknut inside that occupies a small space. You can use it carefully for a broadhead as shown, or you can use a fifth arrow with the nock end inserted in the pocket.
Razorbak, it's been frying mine too.
-
Thanks for posting the pic Don.
-
I like Sharp-shin.(by Guru)
-
Looks "Arrow-Tight" to me
-
I like that without the "totem". I carry my blunt nock end inserted anyway. Looks simpler & more compact.
-
Soaring Mesa?

The Eagle Flight name, along with the Totem, hmm...seems like I read something about an Eagle on a Totem pole is a for power and prestige and the Eagle connects to the Great Spirit and brings great wisdom.
Maybe the EFA Spirit. Maybe the EFA Wisdom.
It did take some wisdom, time spent with bad bow quivers to come up with something that works better.
-
found this...sounds like us bowhunters.
"People with eagle medicine need their alone time. This gives them the opportunity to confront their fears and be honest with themselves. Eagle may be showing himself to you to remind you of the necessary time you need in solitude before you are able to take flight."
Maybe it could be called Eagle Medicine.
-
We were late putting them on the St Jude Auction, but there's now one of these quivers on #4 and one on #5. They were entered in a hurry so a lot of info wasn't entered. Instead of the color shown you could get other colors. Remember, it's for the kids.
Jeff, where is Big Creek? I have lived in Ky so I'm curious.
-
Great donation, Don! Thanks for the "head's up." I had not seen them as I went up and down the lists. I hope your effort brings a great return for the Kids...
-
One quiver listed on Forum 4 for the St Jude auction has been won. There is just one left on Forum 5 and that ends tonight. Again, it's for the kids.
It looks like the name of this series of quivers will be "Mesa". The definition describes the shape of the quiver better than any other one word name. We will have some variations of this basic "Mesa" series to be named later. I don't think that anyone suggested this name before I used it, so we will have to decide who came up with the closest, or next best name.
The winner will be announced later today or tomorrow. Thanks for everyone who participated. I had fun and I hope that many of you did also.
:archer2: Thanks! :archer2:
-
STILL like Aerie/Eyrie.... :rolleyes: :saywhat:
Thanks again for a great donation.
-
:clapper: thats cool for a name...good luck choosing your winner (EAGLE MESA) :pray: :pray:
-
I like this design, Don. I like the flat profile and the fact that there's no foam in it. It looks simple, solid and safe ... a good example of form serving function. How much does the total rig weigh without arrows in it?
Mike
-
Since you are picking a winner not based on a name you will actually use, perhaps you should do a poll for the win.
-
Keefer came closest... imo.
-
yes Keefer did :bigsmyl:
-
So is the one for the larger heads going to be the Mega Mesa??? :rolleyes:
-
Gila Mike, the weight for a complete "Mesa" with the "totem" and "wing options is between 9-9.5 oz. I'll try in the next couple of days to show exact weights with and without options.
There were so many good names suggested that it's been difficult to decide which would be best. "Mesa" was decided because of it's simplicity and the fact that it accurately describes the shape of the hood. Also, we will make a "crested" model and another deeper hood for the 3+" broadheads. It will be called "Big Mesa" or as Hawkeye stated above "Mega Mesa".
Because Rick Butler had two names on the final list of six, I guess that he should be the winner of a "Mesa" bow quiver. (Rick, let us know which one you would like and where to send it.)
To show our appreciation for your participation, Karen and I thought about how to thank you. We agreed that anyone who has suggested a name (before now) would be eligible for a 20% discount on the purchase of a "Mesa" bow quiver...good until the end of June, 2012. :archer2:
-
Wow Don, what can I say but thank-you! Honestly, I have'nt found a better quiver than the EFA's I have now but I really like this new one.
I'll pm you with my info. and thanks again!
-
To answer the question on weight by Gila Mike, the "Mesa" hood by itself weighs 4.5 - 5 oz. The Hood and the regular 4 arrow talon grip wrap system together is about 7 oz. The hood with totem, wing, and 5 arrow gripper is about 10 oz.
Several have asked so let me reply to the issue of price. The standard "Mesa" hood with only the standard talon grip wrap system and 5 arrow gripper will sell for $75.00. With the totem and wing options it will sell for $95.00. We are also making a "Crested Mesa" with a different color leather on the front. These will be $5.00 more.
-
Thanks, Don. That's a good weight. It's within an ounce or two of the quivers I have now and I like the shape of yours better. Guess I'll have to go shake the piggy bank! :)
MIke
