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:
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.
True to the Rok Blog and Joe Jack’s generous nature, I’ll be giving away one of these award-winning Tight Spot quivers to a lucky Rok Blog subscriber.

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
5 is the perfect combination for me.
I definitely like 5.
I think 5 is just right. I use to think more arrows the better. But I’m good with 5.
5 arrows for me. Thanks !
5 arrows. i would try 7 though for 3d shoots.
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.
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.
I’d like my next quiver to be 7 for small game and stumping.
Five.
5 is the way to go for me!
5 arrow!
5 for me
5 arrows works the best for me.
No more than 5 arrows. If you need 7, you need more practice 😀
5 arrows is a good amount. It’s nice to have the option to carry extras.
5 for me
5 arrows, no need for 7 but 3 is too few if you have a miss or two, or a gear malfunction.
5 arrows for me!
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.
5 is perfect for me, almost as perfect as that tight spot would look on my bow 😉
5
5 arrow capacity is best
