I have an old MAIII that i was wanting a quiver for. I found a strap on thunderhorn in the classified and knew this was the ticket. I love the convenience of a strap on and had done quite a good bit of research to know that a thunderhorn was the one i wanted. Well, I messaged Duane at thunderhorn after i had purchased the quiver from the classified and he said he didn't know if that was the quiver for me due to the MAIII having an 18" riser plus the 3" on each end to get past the fades and boy was he right. it is about 26" between the hood and the arrow holder.
Here I am, the season is open, and i don't have a dang quiver to use.
What do you guys use?
My widow doesn't have quiver inserts on the side so it really has to be a limb bolt quiver.
How hard is it to put the inserts in the side of the riser? that may be the ticket.
-
The Selway limb bolt model is nice. A Kanati strap on might work with a MA, but I'm not sure.
-
When I use a bow quiver on my PMA it is the bolt on Thunderhorn
-
Call Selway, they'll get you fixed up. :thumbsup:
-
I sent my psa to bw and they installed kwikee kwiver inserts for the cost of the inserts plus shipping. When I bought the bow it had a great northern limb bolt quiver on it. I didn't like the way it changed the balance of the bow. I understand that you probably don't want to be without your bow for a week but it's an option. Or I could sell you the great northern quiver cheap.
-
I really like the Great Northern Limb Bolt Quiver. Easy on/off, quiet and durable and no need to drill holes in your riser.

How do you like it? I've been thinking of trying one. Does it ever work loose?

You're going to get a variety of answers so, I'll chip in my $.02. I've tried EFA, Kanati, GN, Selway and others. While each had there good points, I now have a favorite. The BigJim strap on quiver is spot on for quick on and off applications and doesn't move at all on my bow. Works on 1pc - 3pc bows. :thumbsup:
-
If you're handy, quiver inserts are not hard at all to install. Take your time, read instructions carefully and double check yourself on everything. I've done several bows, (of course they have been older bows with no collector value) and they looked, and functioned, as professionally as any.
-
Though I already have inserts, I would be leery of drilling holes in my Widow.
I'm going to use a Catquiver this year because the PMA gets heavy with the bow quiver full of arrows attached to it. I shoot heavy arrows and carry 7 in the quiver. I like to carry 5 broadheads, a flu-flu, and a small game/stumper.
But if the bow quiver is your choice, the options mentioned are all good.
-
I like the Selway rawhide slide-on.
-
Fellas,
i am always amazed at the variety of answers you from the 'gang.
I have used a bigjims before and i don't know if it was defected or what, but I did not like it. moved some, etc.
Had a Great Northern that i didn't like how the 4th and 5th arrow went in, i preferred the arrows all in a line. I don't like the idea of having to slide a broadhead tipped arrow so close to my string to put it in the quiver.
I have never used a selway slide on, but i think that is what I may need to try.
-
Don't overlook look the selway limb bolt model. I used one, and it was nice.
-
Before purchasing the Selway slide on model you might check out their quick disconnect model. I have one which I prefer over the slide on. I've never seen a Selway limb bolt, but the people at Selway offer outstanding customer service. Give them a call and be sure to watch their video demo's showing how to best use their quivers.Good luck with your purchase. :campfire:
-
I prefer a hip quiver. I will add though that I was at black widow some time back and it took Toby about 5-10 minutes to install quiver bushings in my PSA. Very quick.
-
I would suggest forgoing the bowquiver and look at getting a safari tuff arrowmaster quiver. Best thing since sliced bread!
-
Selway quick detach on My PSA Autumn Oak I never take it off though.
-
I am sold on Thunderhorn detachable quivers.

James, Funny you mentioned that. I have been using an old catquiver a friend just gave to me. So luckily i have a quiver. A friend of mine has a mad dog quiver or something like that, and man, do I wish he would forget it at my house for a couple years! lol

Is that a 2 point or a side winder?

The models I have on my bow are the Lynx and Boa. Both work great.

how do they mount to the bow?

I have an old Dacron string MA with the frost finish and it has inserts....
That being said, I use Thunderhorn quivers and love em. I would suggest you find a suitable quiver for this year just to get by with and then send the bow to the Widow boys after season for inserts.
I actually use the larger TH but only have four arrow clips on it for my MA.
Good luck

that's exactly what I was thinking about doing. I am currently using a cat quiver that works fine, i just don't like the arrows being behind me, but it isn't that big of a deal.
-
It has a rubber strap that goes around the limbs. The limbs themselves are held between two piecec of rubber and then the strap goes around it. Very solid. I prefer the Lynx model as it has a rod that holds the two pieces together when it is off the bow.
-
i have the same model. the space between the top and hood and arrow holder is over 23" apart.
-
You might consider the two piece TH quiver - that way it doesn't matter how long/short your riser is..... provided your arrows are still long enough to fit properly. I have a PSA but to tell you the truth I've never put a quiver on her yet. I'll look tonight to see if one of my two piece THs fit it
-
I am using Thunderhorn small fry quivers for years now on my three pce recurves. I have them with the sidewinder as bold on option. I cant notice much difference when shooting, but for me the sidewinder looks better.
You could order a bolt on first and use it during the season. After the season you can decide if it is worth to you to to have a sidewinder. Then you can have the people from BW inserts installed, and order the separate pcs at Thunderhorn for the sidewinder configuration. TH delivers all parts seperately, and are good people to deal with. They can make the quiver in any color you want.
I can recommend the TH quivers higly!

great northern quick release quiver, go to Black widow and buy it from them to get the longer riser bolts that made for the bW risers.
great northern was and still is the best you can buy, I've had all of them..
bottom line is the selway style will fan out the fletching of the arrows in the quiver like a turkey tail so if the fletching does not get in your way and hit your pants when your raising the bow it might work for you but me it spooked too many deer.
Great Northern keeps the fletching all tight together so you don't run the risk of the fletching scraping your leg when you raise the bow,, remember new fletching makes a high pitch scrape sound when it slides against things and Deer do not like it.
-
try a strap on great northern, it works great on my PSA
-
Hey Daniel, I have a side quiver sismilar to the arrowmaster that I would be happy to let you try out if you want to.
-
James,
I may have to take you up on that. I
I currently have a TH 2 piece quiver that I just don't like how it fits on my bow. The good and arrow section is almost 24" apart.
Looks weird.
-
Daniel:
If that spacing is what bothers you, and I can understand that, then get it drilled. From the bottom of the hood to the arrow clip bar on my MA is 11"
Nuf said. Thunderhorn is what you want..... You are, after all, putting it on a Widow.....

that is what I plan on doing. and I do understand that I am putting it on a widow. haha.

Daniel if you want to try the quiver just shoot me a pm.

I've tried the Selway slide-on and quick-detach. Both were good quivers and served their purpose. I like the GFA quiver. Just sling it over shoulder, doesn't change the feel of the bow, and I hang it up when I get in stand. Josh
