Safari Tuff Arrowmaster and/or Dukier owners sound off!

[Gil Verwey]

Too bad about the zippered pouch. That was a nice feature.

No arrow noise as Chad mentioned.

Never noticed it, The bottom holds the tip and broadheads can be inserted into foam, mine is like a rubber foam, good stuff!

Can't get much better endorsements than that!
It's on my list for the Fall. As mentioned, you gotta try it to know for sure, but too many seem real happy with them.

I used the arrowmaster with a camelback daypack last year for hunting mulies out in the sage brush. I just could not get comfortable with that setup while hunting. The biggest problem was that the arrownaster wanted to slide when I did not want it to so I had to use a couple of safety pins to keep in place.So I am trying anew idea of the hornhunter pack with tying the arrow quiver that come with it in a way that is conducive to spot and stalking. I will let you know how it works out.

The latest model has a modified shoulder strap to help eliminate that problem.  

There's no one perfect quiver for every situation, but this one is the best all-around I've ever used.  

Rod isn't just a shooter, he's also an avid hunter, and has lots of field testers--including Denny Sturgis Jr.  Can't get much better testing than that!

I'll be using a Camelback as well, it's a smaller day pack. That's why I was thinking I could get by with the dukier.

I use my Arrowmaster with a fanny pack and I am fine. I can see where a daypack would give you trouble. When I pack in I attach it to my back pack with my bow inside, but that is hiking not hunting.

When I hunt with any side quiver I use a fanny pack.

I dislike bow quivers and so  an 'off the bow quiver' is really my only option .
As such I have used back quivers and side stalkers for years ... they are all good and all have their merits ... but I always have had concerns when doing high country or long range  hunts about carrying my back pack AND my side quiver or Arrowmaster in terms of accessibility and noise etc ...
I try and carry as little gear as possible but in my Alpine hunting or long day hunts on the plains needs must that I carry extra gear which means a back pack . ANd I have felt a bit over encumbererd with "gear" when carrying packs and quivers ... until I got my Arrowmaster.
Last month in the STH Island of New Zealand I carried my Bison back pack and my Arrowmaster .... rain , pelting rain , snow ..... didn't matter much because my arrows were dry and most of all carried quietly with that quick arrow retrieval that makes the quiver such a fine hunting tool.
I worry and fuss over gear a bit too much sometimes and was concerned about the pack and quiver in the varied terrian I hunt in ... palis , desert , forest , snow ...
No need ... worked absoluetly flawlessly ,,, Its pretty rare that I find gear that I can't find something to nit pick about, nor try to improve ... Not with this quiver ... its just about perfect for me.
I must also say that as an avowed stump shooter and small game hunter ... it lets you carry heaps of arrows easily ... field points , judo's , blunts and b'heads are often all in my quiver at the same time .... try doing that with any other quiver ...

Can't say enough good things about my Arrowmaster. Fits just right and no problem for me with arrows rattling around.

[AngelDeVille]

Thanks to a member here, I have one on the way!

I'm excited to get it slung up and to get some stumpin, 3-D, and hoggin' in!

It also looks like it's a great way to keep your arrows stored in the rare occasions I don't have my bow in hand!

Ron has my old Safari tuff. I hope you give it a lot of good mileage.

I never figured out a good way to store the arrows where ther didn't get "tangled" .... I'm sure I wasn't doing something right. Also, the arrows that were closest to my back (on the bottom) always showed more wear on the fletching. Again, I'm sure I
wasn't doing something right.

Just a heads up that we have a few of the old camo models still available stuffed away in the back for those of you that liked the older pattern, once their gone nothing but the new , but those a great as well.
