Who is shooting a Hill style bow and hunts with a back quiver? A Howard Hill style leather back quiver. Any body put a bow quiver on a Hill bow?

Hill style bows with a Hill back quiver for me.  Some guys use bow quivers with Hill bows.

Here is my Mike's Archery Leather HH style backquiver.

Hill bow and Hill back quiver.................

It is a HH bow but a HH style back quiver. Yes, I hunt with back quivers sometimes and mostly with my HH bow.

No bow quivers on the Hill styles.

Dave Johnson LB with a Hill quiver I made. Both saw three days of Georgia hunting this past week. No game taken though.

For myself, this pic pretty much says it all.

I made this one and it works pretty good for me. I need alot of amo to compensate for my bad shooting.

Great pics, guys. Keep 'em coming

 
   

 

So do these bows not perform well with a quiver on it or does everyone just like the trad of the back quiver with a hill? I am getting my first hill type and was planning on putting a quiver on it, since thats what I am use to.

To be perfectly honest, I've never put a quiver on my Hill bows, so I'm not sure how it would feel.  For me using a bow quiver on a longbow takes away from the simplicity of the design.  These bows are light and fast in the hand and to me adding the weight of a quiver would negative affect those properties.  But I've never been a fan of bow quivers in general.  Even when I shot compounds I would remove my bow quiver once I got settled into the treestand.  I always felt that the bow seemed off balance with a quiver on it.  

I say try it out and see if you like it.  Shoot the bow with and without quiver and see how it handles.  I would go for a very small quiver, like an EFA 3 arrow version.  

I know there are some guys around here that use quivers on Hills.  I'm sure they will chime in.
