Title: Removable quiver suggestions
Post by: bear bowman on July 29, 2015, 09:04:00 AM
I have a stryker sport hybrid. I have a personal preference of not shooting with a quiver attached. I do 90% of my hunting from a climber treestand. I want to get a quiver that I can easily remove. I really don't care what it looks like. I also don't want to drop a ton of cash. $100 is a lot of money to me. Any suggestions on a decent quality removable quiver for less than $100?

Check out Big Jim's bow quiver. Brand new they're $60, and are about everything you could want in a nice removable quiver if you're looking for one new.

Forget attaching and detaching a quiver. Buy a GFA side quiver and be done with it. I use a Thunderhorn small fry lynx quiver and leave it attached. When I don't want a quiver attached I use my GFA.

I'm not familiar with the style of bow you mentioned, but Bear spring arm quivers work great in your situation. I take mine off on stand as well, and they're all I use.

Or forget the bow quiver altogether. Get a back or side quiver and hang it when you're on stand.

Kwikee quick detatch 3 arrow and don't look back they are awesome quivers. I also have the bracket you screw into the tree slide it off the bow and into the bracket on tree 15sec your done. If you want more arrows just get a bigger one.    Widow

I normally shoot without a quiver attached as well. Last year I picked up a strap on bracket that I believe is intended for a bow fishing reel on trad bows. It allows you to use any screw attachment quiver you want. I liked having arrows on bow for walking in and hoisting into the tree then unattaching when settled in. It locks tightly onto the bow and adds hardly any weight with the quiver removed. Most modern quivers have a quick release of some kind on them now. With that said I recently got a thunder horn boa six arrow quiver for my Montana and I'm really liking it so far. It balances very well and hasn't moved one bit and I've shot a lot with it on. It doesn't affect my shooting enough to worry about it. You can even remove some of the grippers on the bottom to accommodate for less arrows if you wish. The large hood is nice as well. Those bigger broadheads fit with extra room to spare in mine loaded with six arrows. It's under 50 bucks.

Big Jims or Kanati are my favorite bow quivers.  However, for stand hunting I'd use a cheap back/side/hip quiver and just hang it on the stand.

I like the Big Jims quivers too. I just ordered my second one. I also like the Great Northern and they are easy on easy off.

Cant speak for Big Jim's as I've not laid my eyes on it yet but also did the kwikee 3 and liked it and had an extra bracket attached to my stand. I even stitched a leather hood cover over it to give it a traditional appeal. Now that I went to an Eagle Flight strap on I aint lookin back. I was one of those guys that said I could never hunt with a quiver on my bow.
