Title: Best bow quiver
Post by: mzombek on August 23, 2013, 04:41:00 PM
Hey guys,
I am looking to buy a quiver for my longbow. I have looked on the web and not sure what I want. My limbs are 11/4 wide
Any suggestions ?

GN Adjustable 5 arrow hands down (for me anyway) tried them all and that one works the best plus it keeps the arrows in a nice tight area.  Plus with a little modification you can kick the arrows back into the bow for a more streamlined setup.

Lots of nice quivers out there and many from our sponsors so it has alot to do with personal preference.

hmm..maybe try the thunder horn or selway..ive heard good things about them but dont use them. i am currently using a kwikee 6 arrow (an older one) on my recurve and am happily pleased with it...could also try their three arrow slip on. just some ideas to start with. 3rivers is a good place to start  ;)

I would be looking at the EFA,super quiet and probably the lightest quiver out there.

I bought an Alaskan strap on quiver, but the arrows kept falling out of the quiver and the straps broke. I am hesitant to buy another strap on.

Kanati Dual Arc my favorite so far.

EFA is all I use from selfbows,longbows to recurves. They work great.

I'm getting a Kanati Dual ARC as my next quiver. Only ever used slide on Selways and a hip quiver.

Check out Big Jims, I think he makes an awesome quiver.

Tough choice.

I just got a Thunderhorn Lynx woks well on my recurve.

The Great Northern 5 Arrow Adjustable is a good one.  I would definitely order it with the deeper hood. Longer broadheads are an issue.

I just got my second EFA. No complaints. Light weight and great grip.

GN and Thunderhorn Boa. Oh, and Selway. All great quivers...

EFA quiver, on a Kota Killum recurve. (//%5Burl=http://imgur.com/fvI36sQ%5D%20%5Bimg%5Dhttp://i.imgur.com/fvI36sQ.jpg)[/url] [/IMG]

Light-weight&well balanced.

I own 3 2 piece bow quivers a Thunderhorn Boa and two Kanati's. I will keep buying Kanati's, they are awesome and the thing I like the most is they are very quiet at the shot! Shawn

Thunderhorn Small Fry on the Kanati works great!

Thunderhorn Lynx is on my Kill-Um fits great, solid as a rock, nothing moves. I really like the way the Lynx lays the arrows down the bow limb. Nothing bumps your feathers.
Every bow has it's perfect quiver. It took me 5 tries to get there.

Ive tried a bunch through the years and I always seem to gravitate back to Great Northerns.  Now they offer a kickback model and a deeper hood.  Pretty good choice.

I have 2 Kanati's. One dual arc and a Limb strap. Like them both.

I've got a Big Jim's. I think it looks great and is hard to beat for the money. It's easy on and off and holds the arrows very solidly.

For a longbow I would as less weight as possible

I think the best quiver is the back quiver that I got from Bud in the St Jude's auction  :bigsmyl:
Title: Re: Best bow quiver
Post by: Green on August 24, 2013, 03:24:00 PM
I've got to agree with Trap....I've tried most of them, and have returned to what worked for me best years ago, the Great Northern.  Solid once mounted, quiet shot after shot, and it's on/off the bow in seconds.

As for C&H's comment above on the back quivers....yes sir, Bud B's every single day.     :thumbsup:

I'll second that.

Not a big fan of bow quivers but I think all around Selway is the best ....at least for me! Strap on, slide on or Quick disconnect...all good!

I like the Great Northern that mounts to the limb bolts and is removable without removing the mount.

I have only tried kanati and great northern and big jims and i like them all. They all have there advantages love them all. I like the quick detach great northern on my bob lee bows, and the other two on my other bows.
Title: Re: Best bow quiver
Post by: Archie on August 24, 2013, 10:13:00 PM
My opinion is that the EFA and Kanati quivers are out in front of the others.   If I were going to buy one today, it would be a one-piece Kanati angle quiver.

I personally use a Black Widow style 7/5 bolt-on arrow quiver that I have modified and now use as a strap-on.

I like the older Kanati Angle Pro strap on. Got a dual arc and the metal was so soft it would bend if you looked at hard. When I went to straighten it back it cracked. I'll stick with the regular Kanatis.

I'm using a Eagle Flight Archery mini this year. Still on the search for one I like. Trying to decide between the strap on vs the bolt on. Any preferences?

My preference is the Kanati Dual Arc.  There are certainly other quivers that are good, but it to me offers the best combination of adjustability, weight, quality, and design features.
