Hey Gang just wondering about the above topic about side mount quiver and bow mount quivers and was wondering about your folks input on the matter and decide to use thanks

Nevre cared much for bow quivers--they always make my bow feel off-balance.  After spending a lot more than I care to think about on different quivers, I settled on the Safari Tuff for a hunting quiver.  If you prefer leather, and/or a really "dressed up" quiver, look at Cedar Ridge.

times 2. I only use a bowquiver on my 3 pce recurve who has threaded inserts. I never liked strap ons.
Further I like to be in the woods with a datpack on my back, so only thing that remains for me is a sidequiver.

I own at least one of each of the most popular style quivers....bow mounted,  hip, back exc.   Not one style will fit for all occasions.  But one might fit for the majority of them.....and for that,  its the bow mounted quiver for me.  Just seems to make the most sense for the majority of things I do with the bow.  My 2 cents, worth just that  

I use a back quiver for stumping and small game, a side quiver for 3-D, and bow quivers for hunting.  Arrows are quiet in a bow quiver and very easy to get to. In moving through brush, etc., one needs to move the bow through it.  With a bow quiver, the arrows come right along.  With a side quiver, you're often trying to handle two things at once to keep quiet, the bow and the quiver at your side.  I use small quivers, and like the slightly added weight they give to the bow.  It helps stabilize and quiet the bow.

I use bow quivers exclusively now for hunting. one less thing to forget, hanging off of you, and great in case you get a second shot. My favorites are Kanati and Eagles Flight. Both are sponsors here and both have a wide product range.

I have tried several times to get used to back quivers, side quivers, Safari Tuff Arrowmaster, etc...None of them are as quiet and convenient for hunting as a bowquiver. The bowquiver also gives me more pack/bino options.

When it comes to 3D or practice bowquivers are not the best so I always keep target arrows on my side in a hip quiver. But I keep my bowquiver on my bows so that I'm always practicing with that bowquiver. Cause I know when it comes time to hunt I'm gonna want the bowquiver.

I tried a sidequiver for hunting and did not like having to keep it out of the way all of the time.  Plus I did not like having something else to carry.  I use a plains style side quiver for 3d shooting and a Bowmate side quiver for stump shooting but for hunting I prefer a strap on bow quiver.  I got one of Big Jim's.  It is lightweight and he has them for a good price.

I like bow quivers..tried a side quiver again this yr and don't like the extra bother with getting it up the tree, not forgetting it, etc.

I always took my quiver off the bow once up the tree, but haven't found a really easy bow quiver for un-tapped recurves to take on and off without bother so just leave it on now.

For me I like to travel as light as possible.  I use a Kantai bowquiver, then when I get where I am going to hunt it comes off.

I feel the same as LBR. Have em but don't use em. I prefer the Safari Tuff back quiver tube for carrying arrows. If I was a stalker I might feel different.

Me too.....there is no verses....just options.

I love the fact that my bow-bow quiver full of arrows-and fletch cover have served me well many times as a blind and allowed me to hide in plain sight and kept meat in my freezer.

I too have tried nearly every style in almost all situations.  I am carrying a Elite side quiver when hunting as it protects my fletching in all conditions, is quiet and it carries things I would normally put in a ditty bag. It easily straps onto my pack when hiking in.  But when on the range I prefer a hip quiver.  For me the bow mounted quiver was uncomfortable and always catching brush when stalking.

well i use a lakota style quiver and it is so quiet and it don't snag on things when ya go through the bush as ya can hold it close to ya body or put it behind ya back

I've tried different kinds, but a bow quiver makes the most sense to me. I keep it on my bow all the time, hunting, 3d, everything.

I believe part of your choice might be based on bow style. I shoot Hill style bows which are feather lite in weight, and a bow quiver just destroys the balance of the bow, on the other hand if your shooting a bow with a heavier mass weight, a bow mounted quiver would be a great choice.
As far as back and hip quivers, that is a choice that is made based on usage. Pick the one that works best for you, There is no wrong or right answer, just simply what works better for you.

I, like everyone else have tried a bunch of different options.
I have settled on a catquiver3. Nice daypack size, and I use a solo stalker on the bow for one arrow. Quite, keeps Fletch's dry and is multifunctional. And travels well through the thick brush with me .ishoot self bows- so that's what works for me.

I prefer my Jack Bowyers Side-Stalker quiver for all hunting and shooting.  But I do keep a strap-on Great Northern that is a wonderful bow quiver for an occasional stump or bunny hunt.  

All of my hunting bows have a single arrow bow quiver.  1/2 of a Selway Piggybacker tied to the lower limb and a broadhead sheath on the upper limb.  That gives me a fast arrow when stalking or still-hunting and a fast second arrow from a tree stand.  Best of all worlds.

I won a Skookum single arrow quiver in the Chris Surtees Family auction and that is on my treasured Browning Explorer.  A purpose-built one arrow bow quiver.

 

 

Ihanks gang for your imputs on the quivers option there are so many to choose from      :confused:

Obvious answer: get several!

I still occasionally even use the plains style shown on the wall behind the side quiver.

Out in the yard or stumping a belt quiver is handy.

Choices and options are two things that money CAN buy.
