Title: Looking for suggestions on a bow quiver for my longbow.
Post by: Gdpolk on July 20, 2012, 10:14:00 PM
I'd like a bow-mounted quiver for my longbow that holds 4-5 arrows.  I really only need it to hold four arrows but the extra space for 5 may make it a bit roomier for my four arrows.  I'd fill it with two 3-blade broadheads and two small game heads for deer/hog season or two small game heads on normal arrows and two small game headed flu-flu's during squirrel/rabbit season.  I'd like the quiver to be light, not mar my bow, and attach/detach quickly and quietly.  Leather is a plus, especially in a medium to dark brown but leather isn't 100% necessary.  What would you suggest?

Check Big Jim's quiver. Sounds like that is just what you are looking for.

Look at Kanati also. There is no shortage of really good bow quivers these days.

Big Jim's, Thunderhorn, and Selway all make great strap on quivers.  God Bless

I took my favorite bolt-on and made a quick, cheap, and rock-solid way to attach it to my longbow.  I've used it for about 8 months now, and it has stood the test of time.  Don't discount doing something no one else is doing, if you're so inclined.

That Kanati dual arc sure looks nice but man it's pricey compared to the others out there.  I'll probably get either a BigJim or EFA rattlesnake skinned quiver.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction guys.

Big Jim, Great Northern, Selway, and 3Rivers Mini boa's are all great quivers.

Great Northern has been the best i've used. Strap it on and you are done. They never move or make any noise. Super quivers period!!!!!!

Great Northern.

Remove the foam and throw out the metal plate under it- not necessary for function. Replace foam pushing it in deeper, letting you load longer broadheads with some protection for you. The foam will sit deeper in the leather and a lot less BH edge is exposed above the leather rim.
