Primarily stalking, roving and ground blind hunting.

I don't like the way the bow quiver feels on my longbow.

Great suggestions! Keep em coming!

Since I am not a stalker and shoot almost exclusively from a stand or blind, I find a back quiver to be the most useful. It carries lots of stuff, and I set it down or hang it from the stand once I get on station. Consequently it does not interfere with shot making. Noise is not an issue for if the quiver rattles, I am moving too fast.

I use a backquiver 90% of the time with a large fanny pack. The other 10% and on rainy days, my Catquiver 3.5. I'm not a big fan of the bowquiver and only use it under certain conditions.

I use a catquiver mini and day pack. They all have trade offs and the catquiver suits me best.

i know i mentioned the arrowmaster and the bowmate elite.  i have tried both and they are very similar, only real major differences are the arrowmaster has the pocket on top, the bowmate on bottom..the arrowmaster opening is side-specific/ you choose lefty or righty..the bowmate is ambidextrous..and lastly the arrowmaster has a frame, but overall is soft so it conforms more to your side, whereas the bowmate elite is a rigid tube.  I ended up choosing the bowmate elite.  my brother chose the arrowmaster.  go figure.  LOL

Great stuff! Many opinions. I appreciate it!I like the idea of a side quiver and the Cat. I guess I just need to take the plunge and try one of them out...

Once you become accustomed to and learn how to use it, the back quiver hands down.

Dawgware Deluxe side quiver.

I'm a takedown recurve shooter and I use the Thunderhorn bolt-on.
For stumpin and small game...anything where you're slingin a lot of em...the Safari Tuff.

I never cease to be amazed at how someone asks for choices between specific bows, quivers, etc--have it narrowed to 2-3 options and most posts recommend other models not in the list.  Why do we do that?    

I would go with the Dawgware of those three.

I wouldn't say a loose opening back quiver because if you trip and fall forward you may get a face full of broadheads,,  my opinion for the most practical has to be the GFA style,, you can do anything with that quiver,, here check this out..

1. you can mod it with straps to mount to a riser, or use a bicycle tube cut in strips
2. you can wear it as a back quiver
3. you can wear it as a belt quiver
4. you can attach it to a horse or a back pack.
5. you can make who ever is walking behind you carry it for you.
6. you can cram your lunch in-between the arrows.
7. you can have a sheath made that snaps around the main rod that holds the top and bottom together.
8, it can be modded to hold a tenkara rod for those stream side moments when you wish you had a tenkara rod.
9. everyone smiles when they have one.

Maybe only if you fall, get bucked from a horse! LOL
btw a well fitting hill style will not let arrows fall out...

Of those three choices, I would go with the Dawgware. Since you plan to stalk, nothing beats a side quiver in placement, silence, and ease of arrow drawing. I personally use a Raptor Archery side quiver. Ted Fry designed it himself and has taken a lot more animals than I have without a single incident.

Because many like to blow their own horns. I'll not comment because I've never used any of them.

Ditto on the safari tuff...it works very well.....but if I'm in a tree or groundblind, I remove it and hang or place it right by me for quick arrow retrieval.....

I guess it doesn't really matter how it happened, but we all have taken a fall or two while hunting at some point,, and I have not seen too many people that have a correct fitting back quiver---> the test is when people have their backs turned and you can reach up and slip and arrow out without them feeling it chances are its too loose for broadheads.  

anyway someone mentioned Ted Fry's quiver and I agree with that also, I have the leather stalker model that you remove the broadheads forward and out and the fletch is covered,,,, another awesome well thought out quiver that you can have a selection of arrows and quietly remove a judo, broadhead or even flu flu with out much effort or noise.

All the ones that you mentioned are good and have there place......one other is the Mark Baker style side quiver.....pretty handy!!
