I am wondering what everyones favorite type of bow mounted quiver is. One aspect i look for is the quiver to be solid! for it not to take two hands to put the arrow back in the quiver. A few that I would like opinions on.
Selway limb bolt on.
Selway strap on.
Great Northern bolt on.
Great Northern Strap on.
If you have used all of these, please let me know what the pros/cons were.
thanks.

I have both a Thunderhorn Boa Small Fry strap on and EFA strap on. Both are pretty light and solid quivers. Ken

The only bow quivers I have now are Great Northern strap on, and one bolt on. They are the only ones I see myself using in the near future.
-
My favorite has to be the GN adjustable strap on. Used them for years. For my applications, there is no cons. It's quiet, light, never had one break on me. It's easy to take on and off and it fits all my bows.
Now I just need to buy one of their "kickback" models...
-
The Selway bolt on is rock solid. I bought a take down just so I could use the quiver.
For my one piece longbows I use the strap on GN longbow quiver. It's the best I've seen for a longbow and cannot creep since the hood and gripper are connected. Quiver creep drives me nuts with two piece quivers.
These are my two go-to quivers, I have tried a bunch of them.

Selway quick detach.

Great Northern adjustable strap on. Have 2 of em. Just got one of the "kickbacks". I had an original that I modded to be sweptback. Ive had a lot of other types/brands but I always come back to the GN. Solid for me, lightweight, and as mentioned, my arrows are swept back and not sticking out in front of the bow. Arrows are clustered together as well, and I like that.

Kanati.

Tough question to answer. Too many answers. Lots of good quivers. I like GN and EFAs for my bows. Both are lightweight, easy on and off, and great service. Cant think of any cons.
-
EFA is by far my favorite. Light, affordable and they work!
-
Thunderhorn BOA bolt on, Not the only good quiver but my favorite.

Kwikee 3 arrow quiver. Get to where I'm sitting, I take it off. If I'm moving, I put it on. Takes a second.
-
EFA,all of them especially the mesa.
-
EFA with totem option.
-
I have used the GN strap on, GN bolt on, and Selway strap on. If you have the capability and bolt on is superior in my opinion. The GN bolt on is solid and quickly removeable without taking down your bow. Between Selway and Great Northern I feel GN is better.
-
EFA
-
Kwikee Kwivers.
Sorry,I have not tried a Great Northern or Selway.
-
Another vote for EFA.
-
I know it wasn't in the options, but I just picked up a dual arc slim jim from Jon at Kanati and this thing is awesome. Cant say enough good things about it.
-
Eagle Flight on every bow......
-
I have tried most of them except the BOA which will be my next quiver. However my favorite is the GN strap on's.
-
I personally did not like the Selway. It was heavy and I felt it shaking Shot after shot.
Went to the EFA and loved it to death. Best value!! The only down side I could find was, that I would have to snug it back onto the limb from time to time. Just to make sure it didn't slide down the limb. If I didn't pay attention. It would.
The aneewakee pro angle is what I have now. And that sucker is solid! At over $100 it's not cheap but works incredibly.

Great Northern adj.

I've used the Selway and GN and didn't care either. I now use a Kanati, EFA, or Big Jim depending on the bow.
-
Great Northern Quick Detach for my 3-piece bows, and Great Northern strap on for my one piece bows!

Thank you for all the replies fellas. I am down to one last question..
GN strap on or GN QD.
**Lets assume we are only talking about a t/d bow as a one piece would be hard to bolt on ;)
-
Thunderhorn for me and my wife, easy on, quiet, stable and doesn't get so stiff in the cold that you can't get your arrow out. Have one of Big Jim's and it works well but damn I can't get it attached as easy a Big Jim makes it look, but once it's on it is quiet and stays put.

:biglaugh:
I had the same problem. It was definitely a two hand, bow between my leg job! lol. I also had a problem with mine wiggling. I don't know that everyone had this happen as I hate to say anything negative about Bigjims quiver because he has helped me so much, but I just couldn't ever get it to stay 100% still.

Great northern quick detach
-
I forgot to say kick back too. I like the arrows farther back on my riser. I have three great northern quick detach on all my bob Lees ccouldn't be happier.
-
Hard question,lots of great bow quivers being made
-
I have about 5 different brands. My favorite is the EFA for my longbows both one piece and 3 piece. I like the Great Northern kickback quick connection model for takedown recurve. My strap on great northern quivers are excellent also but just prefer the smaller size and balance that the EFA affords on the longbow better.
-
For TD I've used Selway slide-on and Thunderhorn quick detach, both great, solid quivers. For me, though, nothing beats a GN adjustable. Love the feather spacing compared to a straight-line configuration.
-
I own/have owned 3 of the 4 quivers you mention. They're all great quivers.
But, I own/use a Kanati strap-on on my Kanati longbow.

Daniel, I have both. I only use the QD on my takedown bows. It looks way sleeker, and is really easier on/off than the strap on.

Selway is the most solid. Thunderhorn bolt on is also about the same but heavier. Great Northern limb bolt is also great but moves a bit when you put arrows back in. Not much though...
-
Great Northern strap-on has my vote.
:thumbsup:

Anyone else have the same results as this?

Kanati Dual Arc

You must look at the Kanati line. John makes a terrific product with uncanny thought and attention to detail. The quick attach feature is rock solid. I've used it on my Black Widow PMAII , PCHX, Fedora Stalker, Allegheny Mt. Bow all with NO issues. Stays were I put it until I take it off...and super quiet.
-
I've tried all those mentioned. I still think the best is a Thunderhorn small fry lynx. I just got an EFA with kick back and totem and I like it well enough but it feels/looks cheap for what it cost. I'm a little nervous about there not being something solid on the underside of the leather to keep broad heads in but we'll see how it works.
I still haven't found the perfect quiver. If I could have EFA's attachment straps with a Thunderhorn lynx bar and bottom half with a zipper wood top I'd be pretty happy! :)
-
The EFA does have a hard layer of epoxy in the top of the hood.This prevents the points from cutting the hood and holds in the attachment for the totem.It's well made and well thought out.It's the lightest and quietest I've owned.
-
Thunderhorn Boa (strap-on) and Boa Small Fry (strap-on)are the only one I have used, love them.
I think it (strap-on or bolt-on) really depends on your style of hunting and if you have multiple bows for diff. occasions. I have two bows and one quiver at present so I like strap-on for ease of switching and taking the quiver off when in stand, only target shooting, in transport. I do find myself just leaving it on more and more now.
-
Great Northern quick release
-
I agree with Paul. Selway bolt on is the most solid. Even though the GN bolts on, it's still only a wire, not a flat piece of steel or aluminum that holds the two quiver pieces. Thus, there is some movement there. Lots of folks don't mind that though.
Both are quiet. Selway is a bit larger. The hoods themselves can vary in size. I try to buy the smaller ones, and sometimes trim off 1/4-3/8 of an inch around the base of the hood. I also use a four arrow gripper. Pretty compact when I'm done. Certainly doesn't look too big on a three-piece bow.
-
Zipper all wood bolt-on quiver. Get one to match the wood that your bow is made of. Lighter weight than the others and very stable.
-
I'm not just worried about sticking a broad head through the top of an EFA. I'm worried if I take a spill in the backcountry with it and fall on it, are the broad heads going to come through the side
-
There's some nice ones out there, but I still prefer my Bear spring arm quivers.
-
Biathlonman, We have never had anyone to report a problem with falling onto their bow quiver causing an injury. I would suppose that there is some sort of risk any way that you carry sharp broadheads. We do guarantee our products. If you would like to return the quiver, that would be fine.
-
For a longbow, I like the Great Northern strap on. For a recurve, I prefer a kwickee quiver if it is drilled for one. I like the looks of the selway with the screw on knob for easy removal but have not actually tried one yet.
-
I'm in the minority here, but I took a Black Widow 7/5 bolt on quiver and made a strap-on system for it. I've been using it this way for about 3 years and it works well on my longbow, as well as anything I could buy. A little heavier than others probably, but I like the added weight. I took it on a 14-day wilderness float hunt last September in Alaska and it performed beautifully. If I ever replace it, it will be with a Kanati angle strap-on.
