anyone use the catquiver 3 or any of the similar quivers, how comfortable are they , are your arrows easily accesible.
do they get in the way when you are stalking threw brush and in general.
thanks for any help.
They are the best thing going for certain siuations. I used one exlusively for about 2 years and now have settled with a bowquiver.
The 3 or 3.5 allows room for all the gear you would need for an extended hunt and plenty of room for a day hunt. Arrows will stay dry and easily accessable when stalking or even hunting from treestand. Getting arrow back into quiver normally requires taking off your back.
I have a 3 and 3.5 for sale if interested, they are both posted on the classifieds. PM if interested or if you have more questions.
i like my selway but i hate shooting with it full of arrows and i hate tearing up and mudding up my feathers carrying it in the truck or 4-wheeler. and was looking for something different that is still functional.
I also have a Simmons Tube quiver which would be perfect for traveling on 4-wheeler.
Let me know if your interested.
All sorts of quivers have their nitch. I used many of the cat quivers including the cat quiver 3 the only thing i'll say against them is if you want to sit down the quiver has to be at least partially removed.
I keep going back to a small bow quiver and a hang on for extra blunts etc.

I modified my cat quiver to having only one strap so I could wear it at an angle. This way I just loosen the strap and can move it around my side so I can sit. How ever, most of the time I am in a ground blind, so I just take it off and keep it next to me. It serves the purpose, keeps fletch protected, easy arrow access.
I had a mini and traded it and still have a cat III, fleece model. I guess I don't like either as the III still hands on it's hook in new condition. Might be a good deal out west where you're chasin' elk over the hills, but here in the eastern hardwoods, nothin' works as well as a plain ole bowquiver.
It's difficult to replace arrows. All of the arrows have to be the same length, or if your blunt is shorter, you need to modify a bit, or use a piggybacker. Gotta take it off to sit down. Sure, they'll keep your fletchings dry, but so will a plastic bag with less hassle.
I'm sure there are archers who love their catquivers, but I'm not among them. Mine hangs on it's hook and I use it for storing my small fry, GN, eagle's flight, etc. :)
I've been using a CAT II for 8yrs and wouldn't leave home without it. I just grab my bow and quiver and I'm out the door knowing that I have everything I need.
I used one last year.Like Macbow and Foxbo said,you have to take it off to sit.I had to take it off to put the arrow back in too.It does have a lot of storage.This year I will use a strap on and a fanny pak.Leon
