Moving on to the next component in my archery gear for 2014, I’ll detail my Tight Spot Quiver.  If you just joined the Rok Blog, you can review the other components (and register to Win an Athen’s Bow) here:

Athen’s Convixtion Bow

Black Gold Ascent Sight

Ripcord Arrow Rest

While quivers seems to get glossed over when selecting components for your bow, they shouldn’t.  A great quiver does more than just hold arrows securely.  It has to be functional in real hunting situations, quiet, adjustable to different arrow diameters, strong, not add excessive bow torque, and removable.  

 

I’d heard enough about Tight Spot Quivers on Rokslide to know that I better take a look at one for this archery mule deer project.  Tight Spot, owned by Joe Jacks, is located in Bozeman, Montana, a few hours from my house.  I took a drive up to meet Joe and see what the Tight Spot is all about.

As soon as I saw my first Tight Spot in his humble store front location, I knew that begging was not out of the question—I had to have one of these!

Joe walked me through the design and function.  Luckily I didn’t have to beg and a beautiful new black Tight Spot now resides on the right side of my Convixtion bow (keep reading, you might get the same treatment).

So far, I’ve put about 1,400 arrows downrange, all with my Tight Spot attached.  It’s performing flawlessly.

With all the features and benefits, I thought there was no better way to show you than with a short video.

Robby Denning
Robby Denning started hunting mule deer in the late 1970’s, only missing one season in 35 years. At 25, he gave up the pursuit of all other big-game to focus on taking the best bucks possible. He began hunting the West on a DIY budget hunting an average of 30 days a year for mule deer. Robby loves the hunt as much as the kill and the entire process from research to scouting to hunting. He’s killed four bucks over 200 inches in the last 15 seasons, mostly on easily-obtained tags. He owns a public-land scouting service and runs a private-land outfitting business helping other hunters in their pursuit of deer and elk. Robby has scouted and hunted literally thousands of square miles of mule deer country and brings a wealth of knowledge about these experiences with him. To him, the weapon of choice is just a means-to-an-end and will hunt with bow, rifle, or muzzleloader – whatever it takes to create an opportunity to take a great mule deer. He is also the author of "Hunting Big Mule Deer" available on Amazon. Robby believes all of creation is from God for man to manage, respect, and through which to know its Creator

  1. I believe that 3 arrows is the perfect amount of arrows because in the end you only need ONE! Haha 3 doesn’t add as much weight on the side of your bow as six

  2. Not having archery hunted for very long, I can’t see why you would need more than 5 arrows when it only takes one :p. I could see having 7 if you did a 7-10 day hunt with multiple tags in your pocket however.

  3. I really like a 6 arrow quiver with two grippers so your broadheads don’t have to touch foam or rubber and slowly dull themselves with every little vibration, step, bump in the road, etc… I only carry 4 broadheads (2 expandable and 2 fixed) and then 2 grouse arrows.

  4. The comments are interesting. I’ve always just figured 3 arrows for the hunt at hand, extra arrows at camp if needed. As far as small game, I’ve been lazy and used my .22, or my air gun.
