Best back quiver for the money

[Crested Finger]

Hey guys, I'm looking to buy my brother a back quiver for Christmas and while I am sure there are many great ones out there I am looking to find one around the 50-60 dollar price range. Not looking for anything fancy, just a simple back quiver that preforms well.

I found a few in that price range from amazon, one is a light weight swede bear archery quiver, one is a martin.

I also found some from a sponsor

For just a little more you can get one from Soap Creek over in the sponsors classifieds.  Check them out.

 Yup!

Soap Creek's are a steal.

Used Howard Hill.  Sometimes a little extra investment is worth it in the long run.

That Soap Creek quiver looks really nice and a great price.

Soap creek makes one of the best!!! Great guy, great product and a steal

Thanks for the input guys, I have been wondering what makes a hill style quiver and what are the advantages over other styles of back quivers?

I happened to buy one used from Soap Creek in the classifieds earlier this fall. I also own a HHA that I have been hunting with for a couple years, and I can say I like Soap's much better.

A hill quiver as I understand it is distinguished by its large oval shape, so it's allowed to flatten out on the back, holding the arrows in place without rattling more effectively.

I've bought 3 from soap creek and all have been great

I like some of the patterns but wouldnt broad heads work a hole in a wool quiver?

A quiver like a soap Creek or any other that is constrcted of honest to goodness leather unsupported by plastics or other artificial ingrediants is pushing $50 just in materials.  Then, on top of that, leatherwork is labor intensive.  

You can always make your own.  There are several good how-to tutorials here on the forum.

I just ordered the bearpaw big back quiver. I'll be sure to give a review next week.

Soap creek quiver would be hard to beat. there's like said before at least $50 in leather not counting the time it takes to build them.

Yup. I buy veg tanned leather locally and hand pick it. A double shoulder will give enough leather to make two back quivers and the straps. 3/16ths lacing runs around $3 per piece (I use three per quiver). Cost is right around $100 to make two quivers that way. That's just materials alone and not counting any leather treatments applied.

Soap Creek's are a steal. Get'em before inflation hits his wallet. He's doing it more for the love of archery, fellow archers, and working in leather.
