Quivers and large packs

[Takeem406]

Shooting a longbow so the last thing I need is a quiver on my bow. My back quiver is useless with a backpack. I used a hip quiver Saturday and it was OK...

I've seen a few guys on the forums attaching wheelie bow quivers to the side of their packs. How well does this work and how easy is it to get arrows out while the pack and quiver are on you? The biggest issue with the hip quiver was how high the arrows stuck up out of the quiver. The fletch kept getting ruffled from brush. Also too the Vista quiver only held about five arrows. It waisted space by having holders for smaller diameter shafts. I'd like atleast a full six arrows, eight would ideal. Even to hold spare backup shafts.

Thanks boys.

Takeem406,

Just strap your back quiver to the side of your pack just like you see the wheel bow guys talking about. Or strap a Delta style quiver to the pack.

Perfect perfect. Thinking I'll go that route.

My old man uses one of these and straps it to the side of his pack..Im pretty sure you could make one of these for a lot cheaper then 120$ as it basically a piece of pvc covered saddlecloth and a strap

I noticed that a couple rivets came apart on that hip quiver. The saddle shop said it's fubar. Great! I leave tomorrow for my three day hunt! Hopefully Scheels has something, maybe a one piece wheelie bow quiver I can strap to the Tenzing. Montana sucks for finding the gear you need locally!

Figure a way to attach your back quiver to the side of your pack with the broadheads down and the fletching up. Then reach up and over your shoulder and draw from the side of your pack like you would a back quiver.

I went with a Cat Quiver mini. I can strap it securely to the right side of my pack and draw arrows out while the pack is on! It's a little heavy but it's functional.

Check out Farr West Leathers, Tim makes a heck of a product I really like his Absorkee quiver (even has a specific place for blunt tip arrows) it rides really well and has great craftsmanship.
