I'm thinking about dropping my draw weight down and am debating on new limbs for my Fox vs a Shrew bow.
I do like my quiver bow-mounted, so wanted to see what y'all have used in the past.
Thanks in advance y'all!
Eagles Flight has some sweet bow quivers and they are a sponsor.

Great Northern makes a nice quiver that looks good on a Shrew
Also Selway makes a "Mini" quiver that holds 5 arrows. I got one put on my 52" Shrew Classic Heritage last weekend at Compton. Note the green hood matches the green glass on my Shrew

A reply from The Man himself... I'm honored. Thank you for the information sir!
Now that whole set up is a good looking rig. I really like the arrow colors also.
Here's another picture, trying to get the green glass to show

That Selway is a pretty sweet looking quiver on Ron's bow. Here's my Great Northern made for Shrew Bows quiver on my Shrew Classic Hunter II Autumn Gold model.

Great Northern made this model as a setback to fit better on the compactness of the Shrew bows.

Not a clear picture but here's the Shrew logo imprinted into the leather hood
Great pics! What length is your Classic Hunter Ray?
That Classic Hunter II is 54" and my arrows are 29" BOP. I didn't put the broadhead arrow in all the way into the hood
Ray, sent you a pm.
The Great Northern Quiver for my Shrew bow

Ron, are you showing your age? I can remember when you use to say that 2-3 arrows were all you should need. :clapper:
That's the problem when you're my age and you say stuff you can't remember what you said the next day. :biglaugh:
But I don't doubt that I said that, I was probably talking about when I was a really good shot, now day's it might take more arrows to kill em. :goldtooth:
The 2-fletch quivers are a good choice on a Shrew bow also, I've used em and they work great. :thumbsup:
Ron, i remember a morning hunt a few years ago with 3 arrows, and that was not enough. After sending 2 arrows at a fox hanging around my tree stand . I found myself later with 1 arrow remaining and a boss doe that i really wanted to take out.
I was on the ground, standing against the side of an old roadbed, and she was about 12 yards away, browsing with no concern. With the release of the arrow, she dropped and the arrow skimmed over her back and made a terrible fuss in the thick brush behind her. She looked intently in the direction where the arrow ended, but never looked toward the source. After a couple of minutes she came straight down the road bed, passing within about 3 feet. After going about 20 yards past, she caught my scent and had a fit.
It was comical; and disappointing, having a deer within about 3 feet and no arrow. There were several lessons to learn here.

Eagles Flight 3 arrow version on an Autumn Gold

Don, it seems the older we get the more lessons we learn. The problem is as we get older our memory starts to fade and we learn those same lessons over again. :biglaugh:
Can't wait to get one of these one day. Such a good looking bow. Here's a good review done I found

Man that autumn gold speaks to me
I tried three quivers on my 54" Shrew Classic Hunter ll; Great Northern, Selway slide-on and Eagles Flight 4 arrow mini max. All work fine, but I favor the Eagles Flight because of the minimal weight and size pairs nice with the feather weight Shrew. None are offset, but that works well sitting in a tree stand with the bow laying across knees and string high on thighs under coat pockets. Having the string parallel to the arrows works well resting my bow this way in cold wether, bare handed with hands in coat pockets and heated with hand warmers. I may still try the offset quiver too for the arrow clearance.
The most arrows I have ever needed in one day to get the job done was 7. Luckily, it paid off with a 10 point buck. That is one reason I stayed with a back quiver.
Ron, I agree with you. Sometimes we need to learn a lesson several times for it to register. One of my flaws is not being able to keep a bow that I'm shooting well. About three years ago I sold a Shrew to a friend of mine who pleaded for it. I didn't want to part with it, so I set a price $100 over what I had paid. He didn't hesitate, reaching into his billfold, and handing over the money.. That's one more bow that I shouldn't have sold. Now I'm waiting for him to age out. Trouble is that he's about my age.
