Is anyone familiar with these? Pros cons? Thanks
I've had a few. Love 'em! Arrowswith field tips orbroadheads do need to be the same length.
Only issue is the foam layer that the nocks press against tends to push up against the top of the plastic quiver cover. I took a 1/4" piece of wood and put it in the top to cover the opening. Ran some screws into the wood and put the foam under the wood. Works good.
I've got a couple.... the mini and the one that has the 3 pouches on it. I really like how they ride on your back. Only problems are when you duck under something, they usually catch as they stand up several inches above the back of your head. And I have trouble getting arrows back into it when it's on my back. I like the fact that they cover the feathers to keep them dry and away from debris when stalking.
Overall I recommend them.
I have one as well, the one with three pouches. I have limited time in the woods with it but love it.
I have a mini, a II, a III.5 and a VI. I love them all. The III.5 gets the most use. I don't have a problem with them catching on things when I walk around and under stuff. Well with the money. I have only bought one new, the rest I have bought used at a reasonable price.
I've used cat quivers for a lot of years, started with the cat2 I believe, the one with 3 pouches, I used it 5 or 6 years and liked everything about it except still hunting or walking it was awkward sitting down on a log or whatever and replacing a arrow in it. I then moved to a cat6 with the mini cat attached to a big fanny pack, I didn't really care for the pack but liked the mini cat, so I took the quiver off and attached it to the side of a small day pack, I really like this set up and the only drawbacks I can see are replacing a arrow with the pack on and needing to take the pack anywhere I take my bow. In a tree stand, I hang my pack beside me making very easy access to the arrows and pack it's self. Cat quivers do a great job of protecting your arrows and keeping them accessible as well as hiding those bright fletching
I have 3 of them and really like them. I have a 2,3 and a 4. I like the 4 the best . It did away with the need for a day pack and has lots of pockets for storage. Big enough to carry a rain suit too. I do block the left end of the bottom ( where the heads are) so pushing the arrows out the other side is very difficult. I never have trouble putting arrows back in, just enter the fletched end, lift and push the bottom in place. The best thing is it gets a quiver off the bow and I can probably put the second arrow on the string as quickly as I could with a bow quiver.
I started with the single pouch for years and now have the 3.5 and really like it. Used to be a tree hugger and put it on a hook out of the way but now am a ground pounder and still really like it. No pack and carries all that I feel I need in the field.
I've had a few over the last 30 years. I usually use them when I'm ground hunting or on drives. I currently have a custom one of a kind Bison Gear Catquiver.
Had a trebark Catquiver II of III, did not use it much. Was great for long hunts when I used the top pack to carry extra stuff, like food or water or rain gear. Did not particularly like the reloading aspect.
