Depends mostly on personal preference. On a take down bow i like limbolt quiver there are a ton of different ones, selway is my favorite. For one piece bows i like great northern strap ons because i remove them when i put my bow in a bow sock..and i like the looks of a GN.. A slide on selawy is good if you want to leave it on the bow. There are alot of quivers out there and everyone has there favorites.

"Best" is subjective, but subjectively speaking I'd have to say my Eagle's Flight 'Cherokee' strap-on has been my favorite to use, hands-down. It's the bow quiver that brought me back around to liking bow quivers again. When attached properly, it doesn't move at all, no matter what bow I put it on - stout recurve or light, skinny-limbed longbow. It's well made, looks great, and it's very lightweight. It holds 4 arrows, which is all I need for a hunt. And it isn't expensive.

I think every bow has a quiver that is perfect for it. I have a Kanati longbow so 1st I tried a Kanati Pro Angle- nice quiver (great quality) but it felt out of balnce so tried a Kanati Pro strap on seemed to stick out to far from the bow. Tried Eagle Flight it was OK but the ThunderHorn strap on fit just right and balnced the bow perfect. It made the bow alot more quite and looks great! For the Kanati it is just right!
By the way I re-sold the other ones(on Tradgang) but had to take a ten dollar loss on each but it was worth it for perfection.

I use an EFA Cherokee 4arrow quiver on my takedown Chek Mate Hunter 2.lightweight, doesn't move or make noise, do 't even know it's there

my buddy like it so much he bought one for his Samick and he has had not issues either

If I ever get another bow the quiver on it will definitely be another EFA

I love Selway slide-on quivers.  I have one thats from the early 90's thats still great.  Its been painted, stripped, dyed, soaked, & abused.

I think thats a tough question to answer definativly.Thier are alot of great bowquivers with different attributes.Some are very light,some moderatly light and some on the heavier side.If you want something lightweight the Eagles Flight quiver is hard to beat and the Thunderhorn small fry.The smallest Big Jim quiver is also lightweight.They hold 3-4 arrows.The strap on type quivers can work on virtually any bow in my experince

The Kanati is a little heavier.Its extemely well made.Its tough and built to last.

The Selway slide ons fit really tight and work well.It wont migrate up the limbs when pushed down the fadeouts tightly.But you need to unstring your bow and remove the string to take them off.May or may not be an issue for you.It has a little larger appearance than the some others

The riser insert quivers will have little to no effect on how your limbs recover.I dont really like to drill holes in my riser though.They certainly work well.

I really like the GN limb bolt because it slides in very close to the bow and that helps with bow balance.I think thats one of the key features of that quiver I like over other limb bolt quivers.It also has the quick detach feature thats very useful for easily removing the quiver without removing the bolts to get it off.That can be handy.

I have been using Eagles flight strap ons alot on both 3 piece bows mounted on the fadeouts right above the riser and one piece bows as well.The Talon straps hold well and they sit close to the riser for good balance and have little to no effect on how the bow shoots if you mount them down the fadeouts enough.

For eye candy the Thunderhorn is hard to beat and the Zipper wooden quivers as well.

I think all the popular  bowquivers are well made and highly functional though and have thier backers for various personal reasons.

Great Northern. Light, capacious, and solid. I would rather carry the weight in arrows vs a heavy risered bow or quiver.
its me, against me.

I have used all of the Selway quivers but the strap on and I like Selway quick detach the best.

i appreciate the responses, but just to be clear i wasn't exactly looking for the best brand but the best style of bow quiver that would fit my need(holds at least 4-5 arrows, quiet, i can leave it on and it won't affect bows performance)

I have tried them all, and love the Kanati the best.

When you say them all please list them. I've only used Selway and Thunderhorn's. I read a lot of good things about Big Jim's and am considering buying one just to see. I love the Tunderhorns!
