I love my GN quivers. I have tried lots of different quivers over the years and all I use now are the GN's.

Good idea for a little extra arrow capacity!

Nice! I can't understand why 5 arrows is the standard? 6 or 7 would be about right. I've been in some "situations" where 5 aint enough! Plus I like to do some stumping during the day and always loose or break one or two.

jeff, where i hunt we have lots of speices open at one time. on a normal deer hunting day i can also take squirrels, rabbits, grouse, (all great eating). in some areas wild pigs are common and also good eating. also see coyotes on a regular basis so 5 arrows ( 2 judos and 3 broadheads) is good but 6 arrows (2 judos and 4 broadheads) makes me feel better. I have been know to miss an animal every few years so i have to account for that too...lol

That makes sense. Where I hunt I hunt deer and maybe a tree rat. We don' have pigs yet in the wild in my area. If I hunt tree rsts or other all game I use a back quiver because I need more than 5- 6-7. Not because the small game is that plentifully. Those little buggers are hard to hit. For big game I use a Great Northern also. That is cool how you turned it into a 6 shooter.

I also turned my GN quiver into a 6 arrow quiver mostly to hold a stumping arrow. I've got pictures to share of my version if someone is willing to post them for me. If so I'll email them !   :dunno:

I have 3 or 4 GN quivers on bows around here and love them but never carry more than 4 arrows when hunting.  Although - I did mod my original GN that I bought beck when they were first introduced.  The originals had rather hard rubber for the arrow grabber - especially when it got cold out so I replaced the original with an arrow holder from Kwikee that holds 6.  IMO - Kwikee's are the best at the arrow holder end and this has been working well at below zero temps for 20+ years.  

Great video
