Title: Advice for long arrow quiver
Post by: LoweBow on October 22, 2012, 10:21:00 PM
I'm shooting full lenght (32") 5575 GT shafts thru my SXT 60" Zipper.  The Kanati limb bolt quiver I'm using leaves my knocks sticking down past my limb tip about an inch.  It really sux as when I try to lean my bow against a tree and it wants to sit on my knocks and not the limb tip.  Any suggestions that will place the hood up higher and more center my arrows on the bow?

I shoot full length too and the only thing I have found that helps is a quiver that kicks the arrows back into the limb profile to help keep the nocks out of the dirt.  

I modify a GN so the arrows kick back ( like the new GN design but been doing it for years) it helps a lot for full length arrows.  

The kanati angle works good too.

My arrows accomidate my 30-1/2" draw length.  I avoid bow quivers except for a single Solo Stalker or Skookum quiver and carry the rest in a Jack Bowyers Side Stalker.

My 35" arrows fit snugly in a Safari Tuff ArrowMaster with the exrtended hood.

I do the same as Jake and use a modified GN. I also shoot full length.

take your Kanati limb bolt and rotate the hood 180 degrees and then remount so the hood is in front of the top limb. the gripper will be behind the bottom limb and that should angle your fletching and get your nocks out of the dirt. If not, you could go with the angle quiver or the new dual arc.  He also makes limb bolt brakets that accept the angle design

I'll look at that Don.  

I've eyeballed the GN quivers a few times and was wondering if I could get the hood up high enough as I really don't need that much...I'll check em out.
Thanks all!

LOL.  I guess in your case it works out well.  You're one of the only person I know that can cut a doz arrows and end up w/ 2-doz shootable shafts!  But don't you get tired of shopping in the kids dept at JC Penney's?

Oh see! Rob that wasn't funny.

Lowebow may be tall and have long arms but my wife still gets a chuckle every time she looks down at his size 9 shoes.
