I am going to try a side stalker type quiver and would see what is out there. Post your pics to help me decide what to buy. From plain jane to super fancy. If it is custom made, please add a way to contact the maker.
Thanks,
Raptor side quiver.

JJ, where are you at? i have the gfa, jack bowyers chief, and a longbow great northern I slung years ago with 550. A buddy did the same thing with an old bear one piece quiver. Had to drill a hole in the hood but it worked well. If you're around fairbanks I can show ya what I have.
here's one i made for myself. it's axis deer hide tanned with wattle bark and stitched with sinew.

Steve Catts' work...I carry 3 broad heads and an Ace Hex usually.
Here's some I've made over the years.

I second the Raptor Side Quiver. Is that a Raptor signature bow as well?
I am a huge fan of both the Bowmate Elite, which I use, and the Safari Tuff Arrowmaster, which my brother uses. They're both very similar with a few key differences but I have tried both and they both are just as easy to use. I can grab and nock an arrow so fast with one. And with way less movement than a back quiver.
Don't have great close ups of my Bowmate, but here it is next to my Stewart.

Here's me stumping with it shooting my Robertson.

And here's my brother stumping with his Arrowmaster shooting his Whip.
(http://i1309.photobucket.com/albums/s631/nineworlds9/null-132.jpg)
We both love em. So intuitive to use, quiet, and protect the arrows really well.

This is the Absorkee Quiver, some have called it a side quiver some call it a hip quiver.
Besides the fact that it is off the bow, it has several other advantages;
There are no added straps around your neck.
Easy access to arrows.
The Absorkee slips on or off with minumial movement, no need to get undressed to remove or put the quiver on!
Has a built in handle.
Goes through the thickest brush with ease, and a quietness hard to acheive with other quivers.
Pivots on the belt if needed.
The standard model hold 5 arrows, the Emigrant has a dedicated pocket for a rubber dub, or judo point
Thanks,

No, this bow is a Toelke Whip. The first photo I posted has a Signature bow in it though!
This is a first generation Raptor Side Quiver. The newer ones are a bit smaller and more compact.
I made a quiver for holding my stone tipped arrows out of a piece of bamboo, an old belt, and some fuel line. It works pretty good. The arrows are held securely on the outside. I wanted something to hang in the tree and be able to quickly grab a second arrow. I have thought about nocking the nodes out of the inside and using it for storage.

That is genius Scrub-buster!!

I'm gonna have to build a side quiver next! great post~
L.R.
I agree - excellent design idea Scrub.
Here is a quiver I made last year. My first quiver was one I made from tanned deer hide, and although it was very soft and quiet in the woods, broadheads just poked right through the thin leather. So I made some leather broadhead sheaths, but they were a real pain to put on and take off. This is the solution I finally came up with.

(http://images.imagelinky.com/1382218250.jpg) (http://images.imagelinky.com/1382218250.jpg)
The round leather piece with the broadhead sheaths is just a friction fit in the quiver, and the broadheads are very easy to withdraw. There is plenty of room to put a few arrows with field tips in also. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, I just wish I had used some lighter weight leather.
OOps! Lets try this again:

I use a very similar version of this that I made. I have both the 3 and 5 arrow soft loc quivers that I can use with it. If I ever find the 7 arrow version at a decent price I'll probably buy it too.
Mark Middleton that's a nice quiver too,,, very clean looking and the sheaths are perfect for that style
Side stalker with a few modifications.

I love my old Jack Bower quivers!!!!!
I've got 2, an original Side Stalker, and a newer Silent Stalker.
I wouldn't get rid of either one..... :archer:

Here is a picture on my Absorkee quiver from my sit last night on the Platte River in Nebraska
Some nice quivers there. I don't head for the woods without my Jack Bowers "Stealth."
Paul,
The Jack Bowers side quivers are great - I bought this one from Jack around 1988 (I added the knife sheath) and used it exclusively until purchasing my Absorkee from Tim Roberts 2 years ago.
