Back Quiver, I don't like one on my bows!

I use the Simmons System back quiver.  Light as a feather, quite, and protects feathers in the rain.  I can't find anything I don't like about it.

I used a bowquiver for years till it broke at the range and I shot without it. Amazing difference in the feel of the bow. Sometimes I miss the convenience of the bowquiver in the thick stuff.

I use a GFA-type side quiver or a back quiver. Depends on whether I'm doing more deer hunting or squirrel hunting.

I use a back quiver.  I, too, don't like a quiver on my bow.

There's something wrong with the poll.  How can it come up with 128%?  Is there someone that uses more than one style quiver?

I would LOVE to use a bow quiver, However I have never owned a bow that didnt shoot terribly after putting one on. Therefore I use a hip style, which just as much of a pain in the @$$, while walking mountain ranges.  Personally If my girlfriend is with me I make her carry them!!!!   :jumper:

Bow quiver for convenience. It doesn't seem to affect accuracy. I am planning on trying the side/hip quiver though.

I use all three as well as a stalker depending on what I am doing.

I usualy use a bow quiver because I don't like to have to have something extra on my body. But I sometimes use a hip quiver. It depends on my mood.

I use a back quiver.  I too don't like a quiver on my bows.  Also protects the fletching from rain.

Post by: SouthMDShooter on October 10, 2007, 04:21:00 PM
i always use a bow quiver, but i have always just written off hip quivers just because they seem ike they would get in the way, but it sems like a quite of few people like them. So how wrong am i here about them getting tangled up when trying to manuver around the woods?
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: TheArc on October 10, 2007, 04:22:00 PM
Bow quiver now. Much easier to pack and no getting hung up on overhanging brush as with a back quiver I gave away.

Post by: Rooselk on October 10, 2007, 04:36:00 PM
I've never cared for bow quivers. I use both a back quiver and a side quiver depending on the situation. If I'm hunting near home or close to camp where I don't need to carry extra gear I carry a Chief side quiver. For longer hikes I carry a Cat Quiver II which will hold some of my gear.

CQII for a number of reasons.  It carries what I care to have with me, protects fletching in wet weather, and I prefer the feel of my bow without anything xtra on it.
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: freeman on October 10, 2007, 04:53:00 PM
I use a side quiver most of the time (GFA). I don't care for a quiver on my longbow,  and this is easier to manuever in the bush than a back or hip quiver.

Post by: Grant Young on October 10, 2007, 05:08:00 PM
Bowquiver. I never hunted with anything else. If I'm practicing or target shooting I keep the bow quiver loaded and use a pocket quiver.

Quiver Caddy (Mark Baker) or a "Stalker Style" from one of our members here.

You didnt have an option for all of the above.  I use all of them depending on the type of hunting and what I feel like that day.
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: NDTerminator on October 10, 2007, 06:13:00 PM
I'll use a bow quiver if the situation favors it, but my favorite for hunting is the GFA Side Quiver.  i find it is about perfect for nearly all types of hunting I do...

Bow quiver, all right there in one package.

I will have to vote twice.
Bow quiver unless it is raining and then I go to the mini cat which I will call a back quiver.

Don't care for anything on my bow. I use a Catquiver II. It carries all my gear in one place.Just grab it and go.

   Good huntin,

I don't like my quiver on my bow and for now I just have a back quiver, I want to make a side quiver..
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: KILLER B on October 10, 2007, 10:00:00 PM
I use a back quiver I made from some bamboo and river cane and a piece of rubber. If im going trough thick stuff I normaly just flip it around to the front.
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: Curtiss Cardinal on October 10, 2007, 10:11:00 PM
But until now I've used a bow quiver. I've tried other types with mixed results and feelings about them. I'm currently making a side quiver/possibles bag combo to try later this year.

I like the Thunderhorn bow quiver.Its quiet and I like the convenience and the fact Im not wearing anything that always seems to catch on something.
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: BamBooBender on October 11, 2007, 12:05:00 AM
I like the side stalker type quivers or lakota style style quivers.

I've been using a cat quiver for the past several years. I like the way they protect the fletchings.

Post by: McGeeM on October 11, 2007, 09:22:00 AM
I use a bowquiver. I feel it is easier for me to get through the woods without and quiver on my back and if I'm wearing a pack. I've never been a fan of side quivers or Catquivers for me it's difficult putting arrows back in a Catquiver without taking it off every time.
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: Dave Lay on October 11, 2007, 09:42:00 AM
voted other, cause its not really a back quiver  but I use a cat quiver 2 and cat 6.. never found a better way to tote arrows huntin, and tried them all.

Post by: MI_Bowhunter on October 11, 2007, 09:47:00 AM
I have been using a Bow quiver for deer hunting just because I like to have as few things to carry into he woods as I can.

For small game it could be bow, side or back quiver depending on the day and how thick the area I'm hunting is.

For target and 3-D I tend to go with a side or belt quiver.

Post by: Brute killer on October 11, 2007, 09:56:00 AM
I tried a side quiver. It snags on brush while I'm trying to sneak up on something. I guess it would be o.k. in a treestand, but I don't expect I'll take it out again. Who knows.

Post by: SOS on October 11, 2007, 06:19:00 PM
I'm not sure what to answer.  I use both, but like hip quiver in a deer stand and bow quiver when still hunting hogs...hmmmmmmm
Title: Re: Which kind do you use while hunting and why??
Post by: Matt E on October 11, 2007, 09:12:00 PM
I voted for the side quiver. I don't like anything attatched to my bow but a string. Also with a side quiver you can pull and nock a arrow with the least movement.

I didn't see home made on there so I voted other

Tried a bow quiver many years ago. Did not like the way it made my bow fill so went with a back quiver. Have been using a cqII for the last several years.

Bow quiver adds more weight stablizing the bow in my hand.

Stump Shooting/Rabbit Hunting = Hip Quiver

BOA Quiver on Longbow at all times.

I use the Eagle Flight Quiver, and it holds three arrows, Stinger broadheads right now, it does not affect how the bow shoots,it is light, and quiet, it does not slip on the bow like others do.  I have had on two different bows and it works great on both.  Looking forward to getting a four arrow for my new three-piece takedown.

It's just a great little quiver very good quality.

I always used a back quiver until I went on a caribou hunt that we had to go through a lot of thick stuff and hike alot with a pack on. After that I put a bow quiver on and got used to it. Now I love it for hunting.
