Title: Selway Archery?
Post by: VA Elite on January 20, 2015, 12:41:00 PM
Looking at a slide on quiver for my recurve. Selway Archery  makes one. Anyone have experience with one? Just slides over each limb, pretty simple.

I think the strap on is much better... the shape of your limb makes a big difference on the slide on version, and i don't like that big screw on nut they use.

here is the selway strap on...

either Thunderhorn or Selway or EFA.  They all make some great quivers, but all have slightly different features.  

some use rubber straps, some use velcros, it is all what you want.  


What I would do is get the one you can get the best deal on! Buy used, unless you just want to drop $100 on a quiver.

Gordy makes a top of the line quiver in models from slide on to bolt on and t.d.  I've had the slide on quiver on my bow for more than 12 yrs. and it is still like new.

Been using the Selway slide on quivers for years. They are tough and look great.

I love the Selway slide on models and you can get them cheap used. I rarely see Selway strap-on models used, and I think they're pretty pricey brand new.

For a strap-on quiver, you can beat Big Jim's quiver. It's $60 brand new, and they are rock solid. You won't find a better quiver for the money brand new.

I won a slide on for a story contest on another site and it is awesome . Very well constructed and holds the arrows very well .

I bought the Thunderhorn Lynx strap on quiver for my new Tall Tines recurve that's on the way.

The Lynx quiver straps which I prefer, the quiver sits closer to the riser which helps balance, and the shafts can be situated in such a way to keep the fletching angled which really helps

Been using slide-on Selways for years.  Excellent quivers.  There are two sizes, a narrower limb slot for longbows and a wider one for recurves.  Slide them up into the fades a bit and they stay put.

I have two--both on longbows. Found one on E**y last week for $70 (they're $110 at 3Rivers). It arrived today and went directly onto my Thunder Child. I have had Big Jim's strap-on quiver on the bow for a month and a half but wasn't entirely happy with it. His quiver was stout on the bow and held the arrows securely but the curved design of the arrow shaft clip put the two end arrows closer to the bow than I like. The Selway slide-on fits perfectly and has a straight line design of arrow shape clips. Gives me more room between the arrow shafts and the bow. When I am in the stand I switch hands when holding the bow and the Selway slide-on allows enough room for that.

Have 2. Like them both, stay put on my recurves. Like others said, get them past the fades on your limbs

The one referenced above with the large rubber nut isn't the slide on, it's the quick detach.  I tried it and had poor luck with it moving.  

The actual slide on is my favorite for both recurves and longbows.  I'm partial to the 4 and 5 arrow models.

The slide-on should stay put unless you've got awfully thin limb butts (like a very light draw-weight ILF limb) or mighty steep fades.  I've never had a problem except for a bit of slipping on ILF limbs in the 20-30 pound range (kids bows).

Thanks for clarifying that bro... I guess i haven't seen the slide on version. I still have  one with the giant nut i just don't use on anything.

My favorite is the Selway quiver, especially the four arrow slide-on mini; it's a bit smaller hood, and therefore lighter.  I called them recently and requested a certain color of their rawhide that would best match my bow. Very friendly people!  Check out the video on Selway's website that shows you where, and how, to install the quiver.  Once the slide-on is on your bow you're going to leave it there, so I would get the brown soft koat or rawhide.  I've seen where the black rubber from quivers has stained the glass on bows, and this is not limited to any one brand of quiver.  If you go with a Selway brown you'll never have to worry about that.  For a strap on quiver I like the EFA.  They are lighter than the Selway, so if you like the weight in the hand of your bow without a quiver, you might go with one of those.  They're very well made, and the price is affordable too.  I just put scotch tape beneath any black fastening rubber that touches my bows.  

Have fun, Chase

I see em on 3Rivers but not the 4 arrow. I want a 4 arrow. So i just need to call them order it.

I'd just give them a call. (734) 856- 4302  I can post a few photos when I'm home for lunch so you can see the variety of colors.  They can be a light honey color, or pretty dark.

All my bows get selway quivers. I own a few slide on one's a couple limb bolt ones and soon a strap on or 2. It's really hard to beat the slide one quivers though. Once it's on there it's not going anywhere and it's dead quiet. My old thunderhorn quivers have all found new homes and we're replaced with great quality rawhide selways that are tuff as nails.

This is the rawhide four arrow mini, compared to a standard sized soft koat hood;
