So, I'm thinking about switching from my back quicker to one of the EFA 4 arrow bow quivers.  My question for you guys is how many arrows do you usually carry into the field?  Previously I have always carried 6, but really like the idea of using a small bow quiver.  Thoughts, opinions?

If hunting close to home 3 or 4.

I have only killed 2 deer in one outing with my longbow one time.  I have shot and missed only to shoot again three times.

That leaves me with a total of 4 different outing where I needed 2 arrows, all of the others would have worked well with one.

This does NOT include squirrel hunting,where you need all you can carry.    


God Bless,

4 - three broadheads one blunt.

I carry 3-2 blade heads and one hex head. Never needed more. Your small EFA will not handle more than 4.

With the EFA quiver on my Kanati, I carry three broadheads and a judo point. With the Linx quiver on my Orion, I carry three broadheads and two judo points. I've never shot more than one broadhead a day, but I have dropped one from the tree stand on occasion.      

So, I carry a broadhead for the shot, a broadhead to drop, and a spare...just in case. I almost always take a shot from the stand with a judo before I get down. Sometimes it's at a squirrel, sometimes a leaf on the ground.

I always carry three broadheads and one blunt.

Same.

I have the EFA quiver - its well made and good looking.  3 broad heads and one blunt seem to work fine.  Its always nice to be able to go after that pesky squirrel.

I carry 3  broadhead tipped arrows.

I use a 4 arrow Eagles flight hood with a 3 arrow gripper on the bottom.I like the combination.Alot of fletching clearance and plenty of room for about any 3 heads regardless of size.

You will be quite pleased with the EFA quiver and Don and his wife are super folks to deal with......Randy

I have an efa that holds 3 arrows. 2 with BH and one for tree rats (mace head). I have taken 2 deer in one hunt, but used the same arrow, and have only ever had a couple second shot chances, so how many arrows do you need really? I saw a fella in the woods with 8 or 10 arrows one time. I was like what?

I am a back quiver kinda guy and will often tote many an arrow afield . But I am an avowed stumper and small game hunter so i tend to carry a bunch of Broadheads and blunts .
If I'm using less arrows and hunting an animal specifically I use a small strap on Boa or side quiver .

If I was out doing some stuff like Ben, then yeah, I need a bunch of shafts to be fling. Hey, you wacken any more of those camels Ben?

Jerry ..I think you mean my Northern counterpoint. He's northern Ben ... I'm southern Ben . lol

Cubs, We at EFA make quivers of many sizes and models. Our biggest sellers are the standard or J-1 size 4 arrow quivers. The 4 arrow "Maxi" is very popular, along with the 4 arrow "Cherokee". If you want something with more interest we make the "Navajo" series, where you can get a quiver with snakeskin, beavertail, etc, or an icon. We also make quivers for a number of quality bowyers and dealers with their logo on the front. (These you would have to buy direct from them.)

My personal choice today is a J-1 Navajo I with our fixed length totem and the "wing" attachment.
It fits solid on the bow and is still lightweight enough that it doesn't change how the bow shoots. I have shot most of our quivers on every imaginable bow with the same positive results.

4 broadheads in my Kanati 4 arrow quiver,  1 blunt on a piggy backer.  

Two blunts, five broadheads in a side-stalker quiver and a single broadhead in a solo-stalker/half piggy-backer bow quiver.
