Great Northern Sidekick shoulder quiver

German Dog · February 01, 2013, 10:18:00 AM

I've got GN bow mount quivers and I really like them but most of my hunting is from treestands and I would like to not have a quiver on the bow cause I like to sit with bow resting on my lap.

So I searched but didn't see any talk about the Sidekick quiver with shoulder straps and was wondering for those that have one or tried one how they liked it?

thanks,

Back up to see if anyone has tried this quiver.
Thanks,

I have used the Asbell quiver which is the same basic idea. Love it. I also don't like to have a quiver on my bow for the same reason. Just have to plan ahead on how you will hang it while on stand, but that is no big deal. Doubt that I will ever go back to a bow quiver after using this style for a couple years now.

I also use the Asbell quiver and love it. Same style, you would probably like it as they can be worn a number of different ways. I guess if I had to pick only one quiver for everything it would be that style even though I really love my back quiver.

Just started with one this year. I really liked having the bare bow without a quiver. Shooting was really enjoyable! The only thing I didn't like was switching from broadheads to field points or squirrel arrows. Much simpler with a strap on quiver attached to the bow. But the quiver is SOOOO light, it is like having nothing!

Thanks for the reply guys. I've tried a hip quiver and never cared for it so I think I'll give this quiver a try.

Thanks again.

Take a stick about 20-24" long, 3/4" wide and 3/8" or so thick and attach a strap to it at each end. You can then put any strap-on bow quiver on it and have yourself a very versatile shoulder quiver using bow quivers that you already own.

You can even attach two bow quivers to the stick.

The Great Northern Sidekick is a good light quiver. I,ve had mine over two years now. Can be worn different ways.... Dave
