Hip Quiver for Hunting

[justin davis]

I use a tightspot. I carry it on my bow. When I think I might get a shot opportunity or I’m on a stalk I take it off and mount it on my belt

Wanted to bring this back up, and ask how/what are you using to mount it to your belt? I’ve seen the Kwikee sidewinder but not sure if that is a good setup. I saw Trail from GoHunt using something but not sure how he’s mounting his quiver to his belt. Thanks

I had one these made for my alpine quiver. I clip it to my bow when crawling thru the tangles chasing elk and on the hip when on trails and the more open areas.

I used the total peep hip quiver mount all last year. I put it on a nylon belt under my backpack belt. Worked great.

After watching a video where Randy Ulmer talked about putting his quiver on his belt before a stock, I decided to drag mine back out.
Randy Ulmer and Chuck Adams, two pretty good hunters to take advice from.
Found my old Trautman, cleaned it up and put new foam in.
Practice is much nicer now. Less weight on the bow, less crap to catch wind.
Win, win.

I used a hip quiver for several javilana hunts in south Texas. I made some long bows, and don't like a quiver mounted to them, plus wanted more arrows then they carry. And it was a pain in the ass sitting down, going through brush. Crawling ( stalking) . I personally found a cat quiver much better.

If you like a hip quiver, you might try the total peep mount. You can turn it like the hand of clock so the vanes (or feathers) are at the 9/3 position. Makes it a little easier crawling or going through brush too.

But for a guy building his own longbows, it’s not exactly “trad”, lol.

I have a Chuck Adams quiver I don't use anymore. If anyone has an interest let me know. I like the fact that it holds 8 arrows, especially if there are grouse in the area or coyotes. The quality of the quiver is outstanding, they just don't make them anymore and they are tough to find. Putting a quiver on an off the bow is a pain in the butt at times, but carryingarrows in general can be a challenge if you don't like them on your bow. Here's a picture of the quiver, such a classic design.

Yup, same one I have - Chuck Adams. Mine is gathering dust also. Liked it a lot, but not enough to keep using it - too fiddly and a pain to sit down with it on.

Those pictures of and references to the Adams Arrow Holster (I think that's what he called it) sure bring back memories. I used one for a decade or more and don't even recall why I switched back to a bow mounted quiver.

I use the total peep rig, spendy for plastic but works perfectly. If I am worried about bush whackin I keep the quiver on the bow as well as when covering ground, takes a second to move it to the hip bracket.

Nice thing is it pivots and the tension is adjustable.

Old thread I know but figured I’d chime in. I’m running a 3d printed ‘quiver’ by Longshot Archery (Etsy), a 2 arrow on the elk rig and a single on my tree stand late season whitey rig. I hate quivers on the bow, so I strap in my main quiver on the pack and with the 2 arrow version I’ll nock when ready and have a follow up arrow ready to go without having to go to my main quiver on the pack. Same with the tree stand bow, will already have one nocked and one ready on the bow for a follow up shot if needed without turning to grab my main quiver hanging off a branch. They are dirt cheap, hug the riser as tight as possible and weigh nothing. Wish I had done this years ago. They do make a 3 arrow version too for those that prefer but the 2 arrow suits my needs. Longshots version has adjustable holder to tighten the grip which is why I chose it over the other 3d printed outfit, quiver buddy

 

[Kodiak13]

This is the single arrow version. Used titanium hardware I had laying around and some stealth strip on the back of the ‘quiver’ before mounting for added measures

Forgot to add, they do make a broadhead hood but it’s goofy and I ended up just using some sturdy foam to cover the broadhead/s. Is it perfect, no but almost, but for me it’s the best option vs a quiver on the bow or a hip quiver that’ll snag and potentially snap my arrows w/ the only drawback being the lack of broadhead protection. For the elk rig, I’ll come up with something more robust to cover the BH’s for the sake of safety in the woods
