Post by: crunch on April 07, 2013, 11:26:00 AM
Has any one tried one of these? Pretty inexpensive from 3 rivers.

Thanks

If you don't mind stabbing your self or others with broadheads and cutting bow strings when you toss your bow in with others in the vehicle.
Might be OK to carry Snaro heads for bird hunting or spare fish arrow.

Doesn't sound great. I think that I'll hold out for a nice used strap on.

I've always liked the kwikee kwivers that mounted on your bow. However I just checked this style out on 3Rivers site and I would steer clear of it. It looks like it would be very easy to knock the hood off.

Brings back memories of the bad old days   :eek:  Those things are unstable, move around on the bow too much for me.  No thanks, been there--done that and don't want to repeat.   "[dntthnk]"

I'll second that.Besides all of the above,most good bow quivers have one gripper.You grab the arrow at the gripper,give a slight tug and it is out.With this "Quickie" design,you pull it out of the lower gripper,then have to move your hand to the upper gripper and pull it.Very slow and a lot of extra motion,often at a time when you need to keep movements to a minimum.

The thing about buying cheap equipment like that is,at some point you are going to get fed up and buy the good one anyway.Then you have the expense of both.

I like the classic design and the way it holds the arrows back, but I could never get them stable no matter what I tried.  I even made a rod that went between both pieces like an EFA "Totem" quiver and that didn't work either.

Would still be a decent inexpensive option for a kid's bow with field points though.

I haven't tried it, but it just looks like bad news. I especially don't like how the hood " clips'' on the 4th arrow. I'd say spend the extra money on a good one.

Pretty much sums it up.

I wouldn't want one as my primary bowhunting quiver but I might would try one as a bowfishing quiver.
