Quiver Census

IronCreekArcher · January 08, 2009, 10:17:00 PM

I have tried the Catquiver and don't like how noisy the straps and aluminum are and its hard to get a second arrow out which cost my dad a shot this year using the Catquiver. I don't like the idea of using the bows limb bolts as I feel the extra added thickness (even using the longer bolt) would create unequal pressure thus affecting performance. I don't like the idea of having insets in my bow and I don't like the added weight and movement. I guess at this point I will just not take any arrows at all...lol! Keep the ideas coming guys I am sure something will wash out...thanks for all the great input.

I use Thunderhorn LimbBolt quivers on my two Robertson recurves(take-down) and Great Northern strap on on all my Longbows. But if a rainy day put on my Cat quiver backquiver to protect my Feathers. I do Know that my bows shoot better for me with these quivers attached, although i have had bows that a quver attached did not work. You can only judge this.!!!

I vote with Drew. The Safari Tuff is a great quiver. I've either sold or given away every bow quiver I've ever tried. I have enough trouble shooting accurately without hanging stuff off the bow.

If it was me, I'd send the bow back to Black Widow and have them install the inserts for a side mounted bowquiver. The Great Northern side mount with the big black plastic knobs is the best one I've used on the Widows. It makes for a handsome package too.

The type of quiver I prefer. The pic doesn;t show a lot of the quiver but you can see how it is worn and even my pink fletching aren't flagging much.

I have a Pittsley Predator and a Fred Bear Custom TD among others. I recomend the Delta (Fred Bear) quiver. It hold 7 arrows very securely. The two allen screws allow for easy adjustment for any size bow riser. I don't hunt or shoot with a quiver on the bow and the screw mounting of this quiver is very secure and it is easy removed.
If it were me I'd just buy the inserts from 3Rivers Archery and put them in myself.

With very little ingenuity you can make it into a G. Fred Asbell side quiver, as I did too.

Most bow quivers will have some effect on how a bow will feel in hand and how it shoots. Some use the quiver as a stabilizer and don't take it off. At Eagle's Flight Archery we started the ultra-lite trend several years ago with our 3 arrow Mini bow quiver. Now we make a large variety of quivers with both cowhide and exotic leathers like rattlesnake, beavertail,etc. Recently we started making them with hoods deep enough to hold the larger heads such as the Grizzly 190s.

Personally I shoot a lightweight Beeler longbow with one of our Cherokee Jumbo I Totem bowquivers. It holds 4 arrows comfortably and I cannot tell it's on the bow. I have also had hundreds of others say the same thing, "they can't tell it's on the bow". I haven't had to change to different arrows, and I haven't had to adjust my shot. You can tell it works because other mfs are now selling lighter weight quivers.
