Thinking about getting a quiver . In the past just used a cat quiver and selway side quiver. What is your opinion ? Leaning toward selway slide on !
-
If you're going to leave it on the bow, go slide on.
-
Strap-on, you can remove it without taking your arrows out first.
-
I swap my quiver from bow to bow so strap on for me, but I would like to try a slide on sometime.
-
Strap or at the bolt for me as well. Just depends on the bow, not a fan of the slide on.
-
I just ordered one of there strap on quiver this week.

I prefer a strap on. It the first thing I take off in the blind. I don't like shooting with a quiver on.
-
Ive owned both. First I had the selaway slide on for my Thunderchild. Bought a BigJim strap bow quiver. I like the strap on better because I can switch to different bows without hassle.
-
I like a connection between the top and bottom (Totem)so a strap on is a must.
-
I just got one of Big Jim's strap ons this week. Love it!!!
-
I would vote strap on, but I also do not hunt with a quiver on the bow, so I need to be able to take it off easily when I get to a stand.

I could never get a slide on to stop creeping. The bottom one worked loose every couple dozen shots. I sold it cheap.
I have a Thunderhorn plastic hood for my recurve and a Great Northern for my longbows, both are strap ons. Love 'em both.
-
I recently picked up a Big Jim strap on and I am very haps with it. I never liked the slide ons. Like the option to take the quiver off quickly.

They both work well for holding arrows but each has it's pros and cons.
Slide-ons are very solid but mount on the limbs near the riser fadeouts which for some can affect limb performance and shot results. They are also heavier, sometimes ALOT heavier, than most strap-ons. Some shooters say they like the extra stabilizing effect of the slide-on weight, but others find all that weight (hanging on one side of the bow) to be a problem that affects their shooting, especially regarding bow torque and if using very light (low mass) bows.
Strap-ons are usually lighter than slide-ons...but sometimes can vibrate and make more noise because of it. If used alot they also have parts (like rubber or velcro straps) that may need replacing. They are removable, but some are not as easily removed or mounted as others so if you will have yours on/off alot be sure to pick a model that accomodates 'quick and easy'.
Personal choice really.

You know you've been living in a VERY liberal town when a sentence like that above hits you as potentially having a very different meaning in a different context...

I have Great Northern and Boa stap ons and a Selway slide on. I like them all. Selway is barely heavier. Not enough to make a difference. Maybe older ones were heavier. Also Selway has slide on option that can be easily removed with arrows without unstringing your bow. I like it's more secure attachment.

This is my preference as well. I like the sturdiness of a slide on, but having to take my arrows out just to take it off gets to be a pain.
-
Another vote against a slide-on. I had one for a while and found it inconvenient to use. I got a Thunderstorm strap-on and like it a lot. I also have a homemade strap-on system that is my go-to bow quiver.
-
Can someone post picture of a Thunderhorn strap? Their website doesn't really show it clearly. Is it similar to a GN or Big Jim or EFA?
-
I found a pretty good deal in a new selway quick detachable slide on ! I will try it ! Thank you for comments !

I like the Selway line of quivers. It just depends on the bow. I have used both the slide on bow quiver and the new strap on quiver by Selway. They both work great for me.
-
Use a little ingenuity and connect your top and bottom sections with a section of carbon shaft. I use the shaft with an insert on each end. Place a hole and use 8/32 bolt to hold them together. This allows you to pull the strap on tightly against the riser fades..on and off solidly
No movement. Caution, ensure you leave room for your thumb, as I did not on my first attempt
-
Been using Selway slide-ons for years. Never had problem with them working loose. They're positioned in the same place as most strap ons, i.e., just inside the limb fadeouts. No heavier than a lot of strap ons. In fact, they're lighter than most.
-
Ive tried a few, and I always come back to a Great Northern. I put a limb mount GN on my Bob Lee and love it. Comes off with the twist of a knob, very quickly, and is very solid.

GreAt Northern or Big Jim's strap on.
:campfire:
-
Strap On is my choice, can remove it without unstringing bow and can leave the arrows in it when you do and keep it all together!
