Wood or carbon? Bow quiver or back quiver? I like the ease of carbon and convienece of a bow quiver but wood is just too nice not to use and my self bow performs better when I use a back quiver. How bout ya'll?
I shoot both wood and carbon - I rarely shoot carbon, really like wood, like making them too. I use a bow quiver all the time, every bow, although sometimes I know I am out to have fun and want to shoot at squirrels and stuff so I bring a side or back quiver for extra shots.
I will say shooting carbon gets me shooting better, they are always the same, always weigh the same and the consistency can not be beat. When I shoot wood, each batch comes out a little different in weight, so each batch shoots a little different, I guess.
Im just now starting to make my own sticks can't wait to finally kill something with em. What's everobe else say?
I only use wood arrows and self bows. I have a bow quiver, but I just can't seem to put it on one of the self bows and mar the natural beauty. I have a really cool side quiver that alleviates that problem. If you haven't checked out Raptor Archery's side quiver, give it a go. So much more convenient than a bow quiver and much less movement and quieter than a back quiver. I do use a back quiver for target practice when I want to fling dozens of arrows, though.
Hip quiver and carbon arrows. I don't like the feel of a bow quiver especially when I hunt from trees most of the time. I have a bow quiver on the bow it has to be quick detach and I simply take it off.
I may use a bow quiver on an October hunt in Alberta though because I won't be in a tree.
I actually prefer a Safari Tuff over the shoulder quiver these days. I use it to carry arrows to and from my stands.
Only wood arrows.
Catquiver when deer hunting from a treestand or turkey hunting. Stalking,small game hunting,stumping or 3-D,Hill style back quiver
Catquiver '2' or '3' with carbon arrows tipped with Hellfire 150 grain 4 blade broadheads for me.
Carbon and bow quiver.
Never shot a carbon arrow. By far my favorite combo is hickory arrows, back quiver, and osage selfbows... proven simple, durable, and deadly.
Not one of the choices but I prefer aluminum arrows and a side quiver (Arrowmaster for hunting).
Wood or aluminum and a catquiver
Wood arrows, bow quiver.
Trying wood for the first time this year and I'm really excited! Bow quiver adds stability, absorbs some noise, and is one less thing to have to carry.
Only carbon arrows and only two quivers, GFA for hunting and (cheap) nylon back quiver for field points, both worn under right armpit, feathers forward.
Wood arrows and a bow quiver
I like the heavy, small dia. carbons for my recurves. Also like bow quivers..tried a shoulder quiver a little last season and didn't like it. Too much extra to think about...like not forgetting it and leaving it home. Just easier for me if the quiver is on the bow.
If I ever build a selfbow I'll shoot wood arrows.
Wood arrows for me. Haven't found a quiver I really like yet, some have good qualities, but they all suck a little.
Small diameter carbons and hip quiver for me.
Carbons and a bow quiver every year I try a non bow quiver from hip back and cat but always end up.going going back to the bow quiver. I'm on big'm Jim's list list for a new longbow. And I really don't want to put a quiver on it so I may try a arrow master or a dawgware or a arrow mate. Or I may just get a big jim bow quiver
Carbon or wood. Back quiver.
"Haven't found a quiver I really like yet, some have good qualities, but they all suck a little." Gringol, truer words have never been spoken. For me, wood and back quiver.
Wood and a back quiver for me.
Back quivers take some time and knowledge to get proficient with...just like the trad bow itself. But once mastered....not going back to the bow quiver. Just feels wrong on a lightweight longbow.
I use wood and aluminum arrows, but I think tapered wood shafts are the most forgiving.
I use a bow quiver if the particular bow likes a quiver..if not ,I use a Cat Quiver.
I like the convenience of a bow quiver.
Wood arrows in a back quiver just seem to belong with a Hill bow.
Nothing like a back quiver full of wooden arrows and a longbow for me. A back quiver can be quiet effective if learned to use properly.
I shoot wood arrows pulled - by the nock - from a leather backquiver formed to my back. The Hill-style is a game in and of itself.
