Dudley’s new checkmate quiver

[AllTheWayHolloway]

I emailed Nockon asking about the weight of the checkmate quiver. They said it weighs 13.6 ounces.

It’s a good looking quiver in my opinion. Dudley will shake things up with this, because it is very innovative.

What parts anre innovative and new?

I think it’s a very fair question.

No jokes. The attachment to the bow is almost identical to a tight spot. It adjust similar too. It has 1 rail instead of 2. The gripper has been around forever, a smaller slot for skinny arrows and a larger slot for larger arrows. The foam with the holes cut out, lots of those on the market.

So tell me about all the innovations that this quiver has…

I read your question as a semi sarcastic push that was honestly asking what was innovative about the product and why you should be excited about it. because I too failed to see some innovative features other than the single arrow gripper.
single arrow gripper would be great for tree hunting when you missed on your first shot.

I agree with the single holder. Might be good for treestand guys but I refuse to take off my quiver, but I also don’t hunt from trees!

My reply might have been a little sarcastic.

Everything today is “innovative” and a “game changer”. For whatever reason it seems that anything archery related uses those descriptive words on anything new for the year!

I need to comp other quivers but this comes across as heavy?

 

[roosiebull]

Fugly factor is too much for me.

I agree, and I also just can’t see this as a 200$ quiver, it really looks like a cheap truglo quiver to me, and none of the features are anything special. I’m sure it’s a good quiver, but I can’t see the price vs value in this.

I much prefer double grippers, and if not, adjustable grippers like a standard tightspot.

Isn’t it the very first quiver in the industry to have a nockon logo? Might be the first time this has ever been done

skip to about the 3 minute mark and you will see a prime example of why I like my quiver on the bow in a treestand.

I have never found the arrows being on the bow to cause any issue with moving it around and clearance. I have hunted a lot out of a saddle as well. I guess if you are used to a 62" recurve, no part of a compound seems cumbersome.

why I like my quiver on the bow in a treestand

I would argue the chances of a deer sticking around that long after a missed shot are low at best, but I see your point...no one wants to miss a second chance if they can't find another arrow quickly. Looked like a layup of a shot too...

totally agree. That is a deer on a very controlled low pressure farm. But crazier things do happen. I shot 2 does in rapid succession, almost followed by a buck this year. It was a fun couple of minutes. The buck stuck his head out of cover just far enough to sniff the arrow that went through doe #2, then he noped right out of that situation.

We certainly prepare for plenty of other what if contingencies.

That's the truth.

I can think of two hunts where I took a second shot immediately after the first miss and both resulted in a filled tag. Wouldn’t have been possible with my quiver not on my bow
