I dont like the quivers that you stick on your bow. What else would you knowledgable folks recommend?

GFA for me

I'm diggin Safari Tuff Arrowmaster  

It's a great quiver, quiet and easy access  

there is no substitute for personal experimentation with quivers.  the typical choices are bow, side, hip and back - and there are different styles of each flavor and all will be a compromise of sorts.

I have been using the Arrowmaster for several seasons now/works great. I wore out a couple of Catquivers in the past, and they work very well, too.

I like Cat-Quivers because I don't like quivers attached to my bows.

arrowmaster is a fantastic hunting quiver. you need to keep 6-8 arrows in to keep it quiet. beautifully made and the storage pocket is huge.

if you want to carry fewer get the duiker model, its smaller .

I use a homemade version of this with a Alpine Soft Loc quiver, works very well. If you get it tightened up correctly, you have infinite angle adjustment. I usually wear bibs, so I don't put my belt through belt loops. This allows me to slide the quiver behind me temporarily if going through really thick stuff.

GFA for me too. My Arrowmaster sits in the corner.

i  like  my catquiver   you  can also pack A few things in it          Mike

x2 with Rob and huntingrn  I tried a lot of hip quivers before I found the soft loc quiver and hip holster. We had Tom Clum at Rocky Mountain Specialty Gear make the leather hip holster for a lot less than what Soft loc sells them for.Its all me and my wife use for elk hunting, it goes through the brush well and with the winds we experience out here, it reduces the wind sail on our bows. We put multiple bolts in ours though to keep it indexed at the same angle all the time. You can mount the quiver adapter higher or lower on the leather holster to meet your needs, the picture of the quiver by itself is mine, you can see it's mounted all the way at the bottom of my holster to give me clearance with my pack, the picture of the quiver in use is my wife, her pack isn't as big and her quiver is mounted higher on the holster. The quiver is very quiet and is easy to remove from the holster, you can also sit down without removing the quiver, the leather bends so you can just flip it up out of the way when you sit down, or you can remove it.

This is my favorite. I have tried the side stalker type, but I like the Hill style the best. I made this one from a kit I got from Sunset Hill. It is English bridle leather, and it was an easy build.





It is roomy. Holds lots of arrows and other stuff. When I'm moving through heavy brush, I simply rotate it down under my arm so the arrows aren't sticking up to catch on limbs. It takes a while to get them broken in but mine is about there. As you can see in this photo, it collapses to form around my back and this keeps the arrows from rattling.



I keep a lighter, a bow stringer and an extra string in the pouch along with some rubber bands in case I need to control a coat sleeve.

I don't mind a bow quiver if I'm hunting from a tree stand, but they are a pain in a ground blind because my bows are generally short (58" or less) so the nocks are in the dirt if I lean my bow against the blind.

Everyone has different needs and preferences. This is just mine. It took me several years and several quivers to finally settle on this style.

Side quiver is my personal choice- Bowmate elite or Safarituff, hands down.  You need to try several styles and choose what works for you.  I ground hunt and after discovering the Bowmate and Arrowmaster there is nothing else I want to use.

Here's mine...homemade side quiver.

i have an Emigrant from Farr West leathers. very nice side quiver. extremely well-made and functional. check 'em out.

Raptor Archery side quiver. It's quit, easy to use, doesn't get in the way, and allows for a very fast and efficient draw without breaking silhouette

LAKOTA quiver nice and quiet and you can wear it any way you like in front of you on the side or behind you

I love the ones that strap on your bow. Get a good bow quiver and get used to it. Its like a new pair of boots.   :D

I shoot self bows only and it would be a travesty to put a bow quiver on one of them.
