Well I ordered the bow
the feathers, the tab, the arrows,
just missing the quiver and arm guard

never had a trad quiver
it will be only for practice and 3D

I am not decided between the on the back and Lakota stile quivers
would like to know the pros and cons of each please  help me to make my decision
arm guard should be easy
thanks

I use a back quiver for squirrel hunting and I am constantly re adjusting it. It Keeps moving down so I cannot reach the arrows even with the extra straps that go under your arms and hooks to the front chest strap.

Have the arrowmaster quiver. It allows you to pick out the broadhead[blount, broadhead, ect.] to shoot without all the wrestling with a back quiver. Also it will rest behind your sholder to walk thru brush without hanging up on limbs. Thanks, Roy

Side quiver modifiedwith an aluminumband at the top to act as a spring told shafts, but have not to twist to put arrows back in

For hunting you might consider this

If a back quiver is built properly it should stay up on your shoulder without sliding down.  

That said you can correct a sliding quiver by attaching a thong to the bottom of the the quiver and then tie the loose end of the thong to your belt or pant loop. The quiver should stay in place. Of course, this will limit the full function of the quiver, i.e. when going through thick brush you should be able to slide a back quiver down under your arm so the arrow ride parallel with the ground preventing them from getting snagged in brush or branches.

You can find a full description  of how a back quiver should function here: read the top of the page -

For target and stump shooting you might consider this:

I use a back quiver and a hipquiver.

Disadvantages of a back quiver:
- it takes some practice to take your arrows out and put them back
- it is hard to see which arrow you take out
- when walking in tight bushes, you hit the branches with your fletching.
- no place for a daypack, or hard to combine.
- when you bend over, your arrows tend to fall on the ground.
- some back quivers don't stay in place, that's why I use a three point loop system.

When you get used to all this and take care, a back quiver just feels more natural for me.  I like to go out with my longbow and a back quiver.

However, when going out for longer shoots, I use a daypack. This allows me to take some more things with me, such as food, extra clothing and so one. And last but not least, it has a drinking system with a tube, which  you really need on hot  days.
Since your back is full then, you need a hip quiver. Now you can see which arrow you take, you don't hit branches with your fletching, and your arrows don't fall out when bending over.
Some have plastic tubes in them, giving you different departments, this might be noisy when you walk, it tends to rattle.

Those are my experiences.

As for an arm guard; I bought one from Scott Teaschner. They are expensive but are extremely good , comfortable and beautiful. They will probably last a lifetime, best of the best.

If by chance, you don't like stuff dangling off your neck, and want something that is quick on, quick off, no clothes adjustment, and can be worn with most type of packs.



Then the Absorkee quiver, could fit.
The "Wanderer" (front) is a quiver that has been designed for target, stump, small game, shooting. The angle on it is a bit steeper than the hunting quivers. The arrows can be removed, or replaced by lifting them through the adjustable break in the top of the quiver, they don't have to be removed out the back.
The Absorkee quiver in the back is the original model built around the time tested, Quiver Caddy Bracket, designed by Mark Baker. It is a five arrow hunting quiver, that hooks over a belt, pocket, or pant top. The Emigrant, (not shown) is a six arrow hunting quiver, it has a dedicated spot on the outside of the hood for a Judo or Rubber Dub tipped arrow.
Thanks,

That looks interesting Tim! Does " The Wanderer" doesn't have any arrow grips and/ or a foam hood?  Then it would act a little bit like a side quiver?

Flying D,
The Wander doesn't have grippers or foam. The back is lined with shearling, foam could by put in the front. Basically it is a cross between a Pope and Young belt quiver, and a tube style quiver.
Thanks,

To me it looks like a mini side quiver which can be carried on the hip, which is not a bad thing. How many arras would fit in with field point?

It will easily hold a dozen arrows.
Thanks,

I make my own combo back/side quivers - will cost you around 20 bucks and you can make them as fancy or as stealthy as you want.  If your interested, I can send you some plans.

Now you got me curious, so pse send me info!

X2 on the Safarii Tuff quiver.
   

I've started using one and I love it. Ursa, my 54 inch TC is so light in my hand I don't know if I can go back to a bow quiver again,  ( and my recurve feels heavy now too!)  Back quivers don't work for me, they catch on brush too much.

for this quiver I used 3 inch PVC and an end cap, some 4In burlap, some camo paracord, a thin rubber and carpet floor mat for the inside, rubber cement for the inside and hotglue for the outside.  Cut the pipe, cut the side of the pipe out leaving about 2 inches on the bottom, glue in the rubber mat and end cap, put a little extra mat on the bottom so the arrows don't make much noise.

Wrapped the thing in burlap and hot glued it down, then embellished it with the camo paracord and some plastic moss that my wife had lying around.  For the strap, I used a "cobra weave" or "portugese sennet", and just braided me a belt together.  You can get the little plastic clips from HomeDepot, as well as all the other supplies.  I can send greater detail if you want, just PM me.

I like this style of quiver because you can draw an arrow from your side, below your hip, and do so with very little movement.  Works well for small game and stumping.

this is a home made quiver and the quiver I hunt with
