What do guys like better for a thicker core longbow? Thanks. Bill
I have tried both, and prefer the EFA, although I thought the quality on the Kanati I had was a bit better. Both are very nice quivers. Can't go wrong either way!
They both offer great models. Coin toss for me. I have one of each make and both are adjustable for thicker limbs, but the Kanati might have a larger range of limbs it would fit.
EFA
I like both. So flip a coin.

Can I see installed pics? Thanks
I perfer the Kanati Dual Arc because it is so adjustable. If you aren't getting the adjustable one then I'd go with EFA.
I have my Dual Arc tuned so that when I release the string the top limb tip slightly rolls backwards causing the bow to fall into my grip rather than me having to grab the bow after the shot. It's adjustability also allowed me to tune it to balance the weight just where I want it and position the feathers behind the limbs of my bow so they aren't sticking out in front of my bow brushing into stuff at the ground. The adjustable length allowed me to spread my fletchings apart so my feathers don't make a velcro sound as they brush against each other when removing arrows while hunting. The FDS strap system is also nice in that it allows me to quickly remove the quiver when wanted without the noise of the velcro straps if I'm hunting from a tree stand. Lastly, the adjustable arcs let me put the quiver mounted in the center of my riser so that it doesn't affect limb movement. This is important so that it doesn't affect the tuning of my bow/arrow combo; as a result, I can shoot the same arrows with the quiver on as without the quiver on the bow and they always go to exactly the same place. When you have a limb-mounted quiver, you can't always achieve this.

Own both.....use both....both are awesome! The Kanati is a little more robust in build. If you want to keep it super light with GOOD quality, go with EFA. If you are a stickler for UNMATCHED quality with a little more heft, go with Kanati.
I have both and both are excellent quivers. I do prefer the EFA better as to the way it straps on to the bow...not much of a fan with the rubber straps on the Kanati.
I had 4 EFA and tried a Kanati and went back to EFA.
They are good quality ,Stay secure on the bow, And don't take anything away from your arrow speed.

If you want feather weight,you cant beat EFA,Kanatis are excellant too.Cant go wrong either way.
I have had two Kanati strap-ons. Based on my experience with these, I see no reason to try any others.
Although I have owned other bow quivers before I owned the Kanati, I haven't tried an EFA.
I have owned both and prefer the EFA.
Both are excellant quivers....but I prefer EFA.....have two and daughter and son-in-law use EFA also.....
Kanati.
I echo whats been said.Both are great quivers and its gonna depend on what you are looking for.
The kanati is super tough and strong.Very well made!Its heavier.
The EFA is very nice and I generally opt for it on a lighweight longbow.
I think some guys are gonna like the extra massweight of the Kanati on a longbow and some are not.
EFA
I own 4 EFA quivers and would use nothing else. The design and quality are second to none. the customer service can't be beat either. Don and Karen are both fantastic to deal with. We have a great time at the Tuesday night shoots too. Don, Aaron and myself showed the young guys how it is done this evening. :archer2: Can't go wrong with an EFA
It's good when people can say nice things about one product without saying anything negative about another.
I believe that both of these are great product lines, and you are to be commended for saying good things about both.
Can you imagine what new products we might have in the future for you? All we need is a little encouragement.
I have both and have uses for each. Both are well made and work as intended. Don and John have both been very fair in their dealings with me. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

I echo what has already been said, and it has been said before..I think there are several threads comparing the two, and each maker has it's group of fans on TG.
It looks like EFA is going to have some interesting new products coming out and Kanati has lots of innovative designs also. I would say that weight and attachment systems might be the deciding factor for you, other than that it's personal preference and looks.
Kanati makes a pretty awesome quiver, there the Cadillac of quivers, just my opinion
EFA's are nice also, lot's of great quivers to choose from these days
...
I'd buy 6 EFA quivers and 6 Kanati quivers in each model. You can't go wrong there. :D ;)
Merry Christmas Tradgang!!!!
I agree with you John. Merry Christmas to you and family. Also, Merry Christmas Tradgang.
Sounds like a quiver conspiracy has been hatched :biglaugh:
Merry Christmas guys!
Merry Christmas John and Don! Both great quivers and both have their place, preferences, and quirks :biglaugh: It's up to you to decide which one based on your wants.
The Kanati is one tough dude, quality, and come in several models and the adjustments are endless. Have not tried the EFA but have friends who own them and they are quality products too.
To me the biggest difference is in the weigh category and it's not a lot depending on what model you're choosing. Try and find someone who has one to try out would be the best approach or attend one of the larger shoots with vendors, John and Don may be there selling so try them out.
I've post the exact same topic 2 years ago and guess wich one I've ordered...Both of them!! Kanati for my FireHawk longbow and 2 EF for my kids longbow.I choose Kanati for the way I could angled the arrows,the EF are unbeatably featherweight.2 great quivers.My Kanati is showned mounted on page 1. Merry christmas to all. :) :archer2:
EFA for sure. I own 6 of them. They work geat on the thicker long bow limbs!
I have both and the best thing I like about them is they are made in America by two talented men...God Bless ya both and Merry Christmas!
