I've been looking into this too.. I've been a little surprised at the cost of quivers! Dosen't look like there is much to them to warrant the price tag around a $100..but I am a Newbie to traditional archery.
I'm looking real hard at this Big Jims quiver.

Quivers are kind of a personal choice thing, by that I mean that we all have our favorites, and while one quiver on bow "A" will perform flawlessly, on bow " B" or "C" it may not work as well.
A bow quiver will add weight, which can help to balance the bow, and reduce noise, the wrong quiver on a bow though, can have the opposite effect.
Sorry this doesn't answer your question, but hope it helps.
As to the cost, a contributing factor is most quivers are sewn by hand...
Thanks,

My son uses a Thunderhorn strap-on on his T-bird.

Look at the thunderhorn discounted quivers with minor flaws.

I like the Great Northern strap on quiver which I can use on both recurves and longbows. Mine holds 4 arrows.  I can't think of any bow this wouldn't fit.

They are TradGang sponsers.
Great quivers at a reasonable price. I use them on recurves and longbow.

i second the thunderhorn discounted boas, i just purchased one for my pse ghost and when it showed up i looked it over good and couldnt find the imperfection? that says a lot about thunderhorns standards, buy with confidence, im a utilitarian and although i love my fare share of fancy you cant beat 45 bucks for a top notch piece of kit.

I have an EFA and Big Jim's quiver and I really can't decide which I like better. They're both top notch.
