just wanderin what your opinion was on the safari tuff side quiver. was either thinking about gettin one of them or gettin one of asbells side quivers. opinions please!

I like it. The arrows are right at your finger tips. They are easy to get out with minimal movement and easy to get back in. Your Fletching is covered. It is close to your body and will go through anything you can go through without hanging up. I also use mine to hold my two piece longbow when packing in or dragging out.

Here is mine on my pack and it has my bow inside. I used it on this elk hunt where we packed in for 11 days. It works great for me. I used to use a Cat Quiver but no longer. I am hooked on side quivers now.

I like the Safari Tuff a little better than the Asbell. When in thicker brush & small pines with the Asbell I would turn and loosen the arrows in the rear gripper. Had a couple fall out, always found them, but hate the thought of just losing arrows.

Having the fletchings covered is a plus in many ways. Good luck.

Have pretty much always used some type of side quiver for hunting for close to 20 years. The safari tuff is by far the best of all I have used.   Still use a backquiver for 3D's and around the range but in the woods safari tuff gets it done the best!

My Safari Tuff is the best quiver that I have ever used. I use mine for hunting, 3d, target and stump shooting.

I like it because I can put a bunch of different tipped arrows in it, I.e. judos, hex heads, broad heads, field tips. It also Keeps your fletching dry. And has a real nice storage pouch. And it stays tight to your body, no flopping around.

The GFA type quivers, all though very well made they always seem to hang up on brush for me.

I chose the Elite side quiver by Palmer Bow Works as I prefer the hard tube that comes with the Elite.  This quiver protects my arrows and fletchings from everything except moths!  For $10 more, you get better protection than the Safari Tuff in my humble opinion.

For hard hunting, they will work best mounted to your pack, which makes the pack and quiver one unit. I slip the straps of mine through the lash-to straps on my shoulder straps, as shown in these photos.

I love mine ... easily the most versatile quiver made that carrys well , protects my fletching and ;ets me carry judo's and stumpers for a long day in the field .
The customer service is second to none from Rod and the build quality is such that I'll have no reservations about making it the only quiver I'd ever need if I had to choose just one for the rest of my life .

Looking forward to finding out myself...bought the one in Gil's picture.

Love mine! Only quiver i use these days.

Love mine! Total arrow protection with covered fletches and a pocket for some extras....perfect!

I've used mine 2 years in a row Elk hunting thru some pretty thick stuff,total arrow protection and real easy acess,light as a feather,Love it!

Rik, is that a hill bow in your hand? Where did you get the plaid shirt? Richard

Love mine, as good as it gets!

Best quiver I've ever used, bar none.  If you damage arrows while they are in this quiver, then most likely your hunt is over and you are on your way to a hospital.  

I've used mine in CO, NM, GA, SC, here in MS, etc.--I used it for hunting and tournaments.  I can tear up an anvil with a feather without even trying, and I haven't done any damage to my quiver or the arrows in it.

Rod is an avid hunter and has put a lot of thought into the design, along with input from other hunters.

I have 3 Safari Tuffs.....what's not to  like?  Its the go to quiver for me when I'm not using a bow quiver.

Never used the Asbell....but if they made it, then there's a reason for it, a need for it, and it too would be well made.

duh!  I wasn't aware that the Safari Tuff quivers could be used to carry broadheads.  Thanks for the info...I just ordered one from Rod.

Great quiver! Until this quiver came out I used a bowquiver because I wasn't satisfied with any of the side quivers that were available. You won't be disappointed with the arrowmaster!

I too really like my 'Tuff.  When hunting it's easy to carry and very maneuverable.  I can slide it under my arm in tight quarters, easy to lay on the ground without fear of arrows getting gunked up, and I can hang it from any hook while on stand.  I do try to stabilize it when hanging, as the wind can take hold and cause it to swing- two hooks work, as does wedging it in the crook of a tree. It's also great for the 3D course, and hauling arrows to the club.

I do recommend getting the one with the pocket.  I keep a small file, new string, stringer, and identification in it- so I'm not without.

I do use carbon arrows, and they can get a little chatty in the quiver.  I've learned to carry a knit cap with me and it goes into the quiver with the arrows to take up a little volume and keep those arrows from clacking against each other.  

It is a bit pricey, but to be honest, I haven't even thought about spending the money on it until now.

I'm really looking forward to getting one.  How big is the pocket on one of these quivers?  And how much stuff will it hold?
