Post by: 3Feathers on November 16, 2014, 04:56:00 PM
Anyone use this brand quiver for ground hunting?If so how does it work for you?Quality? I was using a leather side quiver this fall and my feathers got kinda messed up in wet weather.

I use the Arrowmaster duiker, which is a similar design. I love it, protects arrows very well and is easy to access. The bowmate is heavier and more rigid, but I'm sure it works quite well.

Looked at their website and clips on youtube they look well made.

I have used both the Arrowmaster and Bowmate.  My brother owns an Arrowmaster and I own a Bowmate.  Both are slightly different executions of the same concept, both work excellent.  The weight difference is not stark, a handful of ounces.  The primary advantage of the Bowmate is that it is a rigid tube, so additional protection of arrows is possible, and it is also ambidextrous, whereas with the Arrowmaster you must choose RH or LH model.  The Arrowmaster is a semi rigid design with an internal frame.  It is perhaps a little more roomy.  The broadhead foam in the AM is also more durable, howver in the Bowmate it is just a piece of pool noodle, so for 1.99 at Walmart you can purchase a lifetime supply  ;)   I would gladly own either, and chose the Bowmate because I liked the pocket on the lower end and the ambidextrous option.  Both excellent.  I would go with whichever one strikes your fancy the most.

Good review there by Nine. I had the original Arrowmaster at first, thinking I wanted to use the pocket to stash my gear. But for me it wasn't as useful as I thought, but I loved the protection offered by the quiver, so I ordered the slimmer duiker. I honestly doubt I'll look for another quiver anytime soon.
