I recently purchased a 50" recurve from Crooked Stic. It is one sweet shooting bow, but I am trying to figure out what bow quiver would be best? My great northern strap on doesn't fit well, and my EFA is a bolt on so it is out as well. Does anyone have a bow this short or similar that they use a bow quiver on? What would you recommend? Thanks in advance
I use Selway slip-ons. The problem with a bow quiver on such a short bow is, because one needs to put the attachment grippers onto the fade outs, i.e., shouldn't extend beyond them, the two quiver pieces are close together, spreading out the fletched ends of the arrows quite far. Too, because the arrows will likely extend to or beyond the lower limb tip, they'll usually end up in the dirt every time you lean the bow up against a tree, unless you remember to lean it upside down.
My buddy likes to go without a quiver on his 52 inch Super Shrew Classic Hunter II. Some bows just go better without. I use a Great Northern setback on my 54" Super Shrew Classic Hunter II [attachment=1]
EFA with wing setback option.
That quiver of Big Jims looks pretty good for short bows, and having the kick back attachment looks like it might be a winner!
The setback feature is always a good idea with short bows!Especially if you hunt from the ground.Not so important from a treestand or shooting when standing.Too bad the GN will not work as with that short a bow it be nice with the setback extreme.
I used an Eagles flight with setback on my Toelke Troll that was a 52 inch recurve.It worked well.I also used it with my Javaman Helms deep that was 54 inches and had a very short riser.A little more setback might be nice for a really short bow.Most are about the same accept for the GN Extreme setback.Hence the name Extreme.
Another EFA set back vote here.
Thunderhorn Boa
The boa is not set back therefore it is not any good for short bows. Just because you like them doesn't make them the best for every application.
EFA set back.
Your opinion. Everyone has one...
Not opinion, fact. Arrow stick in the dirt. I have 2 Boas, but they are not on my short bows for that very reason. Again, fact.
Here's my Thunderhorn Small fry with the kickback option on my 59" Prana .
It can be adjusted for more angle if need be on shorter bows as well but I have it set where I want it. They call it the "Linx" and can adjust the height as well.
Many company's are starting to use this option which is nice.[attachment=1]
Here is a "BOA" in the Linx model with the setback bracket .Which can be made as a solid support post or an adjustable one.
I have the small Fry and talk about a "Solid" hold with no vibration or rattle.
Really made well bow quiver as many others are here.
It's just really nice that many company's are offering the "Set back " option now for those
That prefer a quiver where the fletching can be set back so it doesn't hit the ground if you are a ground hunter like myself.

I use either a Great Northern strap on kick back or a Thunderhorn Linx . Keefer is right that is a great quiver and is rock solid.
I use Selway quiver but all that have been listed are great quiver it will depend on what you like.
My bad, please forgive me, I didn't know Boa had come out with a setback model. :banghead:
I used a Great Northern on my KMag. Worked fine
My mate Paul Rea used a Marksman strap down quiver on his Thunderchild on hunts in New Zealand. Works great and is available with setback brackets.

Set backs are the way to go. Several sponsors here make great set backs.
I had a Selway Mini put on my 52" Shrew last weekend and I love it
Interests in setback attachments seem to be growing. They do work well on short bows. We started making one (Wing) several years ago and now it seems every other order includes one with the quiver. They can easily be added to a quiver already on your bow.
TTT for Travis to see :thumbsup:
Thanks Keefer!
PM sent 2Fletch
Several references to Eagles Flight Archery quivers, which I have on my 54" Shrew, however I dont see setback option on their website?
Sorry about that. We have been making a set back (Wing) feature for several years, but we are behind in putting it on the website. They are $20.00 if bought separately, or $10 if bought as part of the quiver.
We are working with someone now, and hope to update the website soon. :goldtooth:
2Fletch,
Any chance you could post a pick of your quivers with the totem and wing?
A PM is fine too.
I too was trying to find it on the website. I'm in the market for a Side Mount Screw In with totem and wing type option. One for two bladers and one for multi blade heads. But the one piece setback screw-in is important to me...
Thanks,
Travis
This is probably the cheapest EFA quiver Don makes strapped into a Bear supermag 48 and it's absolutely rock solid. Once it's tightened to the limbs, it doesn't move at all. My little bow is tuned like a mofo, was quiet and vibration free already, but the quiver install made it "thunk" quiet and much more steady/stable in the hand because of the added weight.
