So Im in the market for a new quiver and I've decided on the thunder horn boa 6 arrow or the great northern 5 arrow. Both strap on models. Which do you all recommend.
I have both. The thunder horn was a gift and I liked it but my wife uses it as I like my northern better. Nothing wrong with either of them just personal preference. I like the better fletching clearance I get with the northern and I made my northern into a full time 6 arrow quiver that is just perfect in my opinion.
But the thunder horn is a great soils quiver as well. Again its all personal preference.
I also have both, and while they're both good, I think the great northern is a little better. The problem I run into with the boa is that hood portion of the quiver tends to rotate after a few shots, which loosens the hold on the head of the arrows. The great northern has a rod system that connects the hood to the arrow gripper and prevents this problem.
On the great northern the foam is recessed a bit from the edge of the hood, so it's easier to get broadheads covered. I also find the fletching clearance to be better with the great northern.
Again, they're both good, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick the great northern.
I have a Great Northern adjustable 5 arrow quiver and am sold for life. Best quiver I have ever shot with.
I also have both and prefer the Great Northern. Even though it is easier to attach and detach, it doesn't seem to allow arrows to loosen as quickly after lots of shooting or hiking through brush. It is nice to have that sixth arrow slot though, especially if doing a hike in hunt that involves going after grouse and quail.
Hunting currently with a Great Northern 5 arrow adjustable.
I really like my Jack Boyers Side Stalker and I use both. The Side Stalker has the advantage of when I want to go smnall game or roving I can put 18 blunts in. Add the foam plug and two blunts with five broadheads. Very versitile. When deer hunting I use a single-arrow bow quiver along with the side quiver. Best of all worlds.
You need one of each.
Thanks guys, Northern it is.
I like the thunder horn lynx it won't move and you can get big game battle axes and Simmons treesharks in them with less hassle. And I like for my quiver to match my bow perfectly
Both are the best of the best.Cant go wrong with either.EFAs are really good too.
x3 :thumbsup:
you've got two great options there, but got to say that I love my 5 arrow EFA mantis!
I have a boa small fry strap on and I love it! But on my new bow I'll get a lynx so I can remove my arrows in the field. You'll love thunder horn products.
Jack Bowers side quiver, I just like a bear bow. Have used all quivers mentioned plus afew more out there.Pete
jack bowyers x2! I'm assuming you're stalking as much as you are in stands.
Next would be the great northern side quiver or a strap on converted to a side quiver (gives you options)
I have tried both and setled on the Gret Northern. I tried a Boa, and although I think they have a better looking quiver head, I just could not get the Boa to stay in one place! The GN never moves once I put it on the bow.

Great Northern is a great quiver.
I like the quiver Big Jim makes, you can get that thing really tight on the bow with little effort and it stays in place.
Have had a couple Thunderhorns, but prefer the Great Northern. Trimmer, cleaner package. Everything about the GN seems optimized to me; attachment method, hood size/head protection, fletching clearance.
When Bob introduced the GN Kickback models to angle the fletching back towards the shooter, he addresses the only weakness the GN quivers had and it is perfect now IMO.
I have used both and like them both. My thunder horn grippers seem to hold the arrows in place better after multiple shots, (only with thinner carbons, with woodies no issue ) Keep in mind that both quivers came to me previously used so how much use they had previously I don't know.
I think I am going to buy another great northern because a recently purchased bow came with the mounts that are attached under the limb bolts for a Great Northern. But, I am planning on keeping the thunder horn for use on my Pronghorn .
I have both but prefer the Great Northern
I has never moved and has no vibration,
