Bow quiver or something else?

[Broken Arrow]

I bought a new recurve last summer and have always used a back quiver. I don't see me dragging around a heavy leather back quiver on a backpack hunt. Trying to decided on a limb bolt quiver or a light weight quiver I can attach to my pack. What do you use and way do you prefer it?

The Cat Quiver mini attaches to a pack pretty easily

Eagles flight archery four arrow quiver. Light weight, dampens bow vibration, arrows are allways at hand.

 

[Broken Arrow]

I like those bowinhand. But only taking 4 arrows on a 10 day hunt seems a little scary.

Back when I still bow hunted I lost 5 arrows in 3 days hunting. Missed all five deer for 5 different reasons . It was a frustrating hunt to say the least. I had 8 so I was in the game to the end though.

I've done similar Daveinjax. Once shot 3 arrows at the same deer. Can't help but wonder what she was thinking?

 

[Shrek]

I've done three shots at one also , a perfect 10pt and the best part of that debacle is the first shot was at 12 steps from the base of the tree broadside standing still !

 

[Broken Arrow]

That just reasures me to go with a quiver with more capacity! So did you connect or end up kicking yourself?

 

[Shrek]

No, I did not connect. I shot over him at 12 steps because I had never shot from that high before . I twisted around to my left and stooped to try and thread it through hole in the bush and all bound up and stooped I pulled it back right and shaved his arse at 25 yards. Then my arrow hit a twig on the way to a 40 yard shot. He fiddled around and then made a new scrap at about 60 yards. Practicing off a 16 ft ladder stand then using a climber to climb to about 40 ft is a recipe for disaster. Breaking your form to bend around a tree doesn't work well and the twig ..well , I don't blame myself for that as it was lost in the shadows 25 yards away and I only saw it as it fell into the light and hit the ground.

Use a 4 arrow bow quiver and then carry a few extras on your pack using a lightweight tube. Another option would be a Safari Tuff or Raptor side quiver. A Cat Quiver is a third option, but you definitely want to try one out before heading into the mountains, some guys love them others loath them.

 

[Broken Arrow]

Lmao @ Daveinjax! Yep don't practice from elavation and you are gonna fail! It's just the nature of the beast when it comes to shooting instinctive! Hell I lay on my belly and shoot kneeling standing left handed (limit of 15 yards) and any other position I can think of.

This was way back in '89 or '90 . I had been shooting a bow for two weeks. It was a pearson ultra 80lb compound. It was a beast and sounded like gun going off when I shot it.

 

[Broken Arrow]

Even better! I started with a whitetail hunter II loudest slowest compound bow I ever had! I missed so many deer with it! Wasn't till I got my recurve that I had success.

I guess I am just the rare exception. I usually only have 2 arrows with me. Sometimes only 1. I just use a small mailing tube with some foam in the bottom as a quiver strapped to my pack. The most I ever carry is 3, 2 broads and 1 blunt for stump shooting at camp etc.

I made myself a quiver from a plastic document tube. I carry 6 arrows inside the tube. It helps protect the feathers and I can attach it to any of my packs. I have tried bow quivers and just do not like them.

I just don't want another strap around my neck or shoulders.

5 arrow Great Northern strap on bow quiver for me.

 

[Broken Arrow]

Thinking I'm gonna try the bow quiver and leave some arrows at the truck and if I have to I can always hike back out for more.

 

[Jesse Minish]

I use a Selway 6 arrow quiver. If you need more arrows Easton makes an arrow tube that is cheap and will strap on any pack with ease.

Decided to go with the eagles flight 4 arrow quiver. It so light! Fits tight to the bow I'm really liking it so far! Just gonna leave a few extra arrows in the truck just in case!
