I never have put a quiver on my longbow and was wondering if some of you would share some views on having one on your bow?
I was looking at buying a selway quiver and I am not worried about their quality but was wondering if I would like a quiver on my longbow or not;
Please share your views and knowledge about this subject; thank you..... :thumbsup:
I am a "die-hard" backquiver man!!!!! :thumbsup:
I tried a Selway. it's a fine product, but I like not having anything on my bow. I vote back quiver, or hip quiver.
I use a Thunder Horn Boa and like it a lot because it adjusts to any of my bows wereas my Selway is dedicated to a recurve and I also had a problem with the Selway sliding around. If 6 arrows makes your bow too heavy there are a nomber of 4 arrow models out there that would fit the bill perfectly good luck Delin
I use a Great Northern Strap on with my longbows. It has a bit more structure than the slip on's and the added ridgidity really takes any handshock on my D styles down to nil. I stick cable dampeners on the top and bottom of the connecting rods and that minimizez the vibrations from shots shaking loose arrows in the quiver. It is a few ounces heavier than the slip ons I have picked up.
Over the years I have tried everything out there. I always end up going back to my Selway Hip Quiver or one of my backquivers. I do sometimes add a bowquiver if I feel the hunt necessitates it. I have also used a CatQuiver lookalike on a couple of long hunts where I was going to be out a few days.
I've always used a hip quiver in the past, but I recently started using Eagles Flight 3 arrow mini quivers on my longbow and my recurve. I love them and will not be changing. They are also available in a 4 arrow version if ya need to carry a lot of arrows. LOL.
I like a qwiver on my recurves, not a long bow shooter much. Only except is a Acadian Woods 3pc treestick. I like them readly available and hooked to my bow is just that. Plus I shoot better with them on. I perfer a heavyer bow though also. Just seem to shoot them much better than the fly weights. :thumbsup: My best suggestion is try it ya just may like it! Or NOT! I just finished shooting a ASA 3D tournament this morning, my bow had a qwiver on it!

i like to use lakota style quivers and back quivers. dont like bow quivers they just dont look right on bows. :thumbsup:
I like my 'quiver caddy', with a 6 arrow Kwikee Kwiver for stumpin and small game. But a 3 arrow version for deer.
You can get the Quiver Caddy from Classic Bowhunting Company (in the sponsor list). Good Luck with the search to find the way that works for you.
Well, I'm pretty much like many others being that I have a collection of quivers and only use one. I tried a Boa, 2 hip quivers, Cat-Quiver and finally a Selway QD. My quandary was how to carry my arrows conveniently, quietly, have quick access and not impact my bow when shooting. The Boa wouldn't stay put and through my bow off balance, my hip quiver just plain sucked in brush, the cat quiver sucked even worse (missed a shot at a hog walking out one evening because I couldn't get to an arrow). All but the boa and selway would just not work with a stand on my back and walking through the bush. The Selway affected my shooting and made my bow feel out of balance, but I decided to shoot the fire out of it until I got my arrow retuned and it felt right. After about 300-500 shots over two or three days and a little bit of fine tuning, it feels perfect now and I'll never go back. I can't say that it made my bow quieter, but it sure didn't make it any louder. My accuracy was as good or better once I got used to it. If you can just get used to the way the bow feels right before you draw, bow quivers are the way to go!
BTW, I shoot a 58" Roy Hall Apache and the quiver is no problem with my relatively short bow.
Usally I don't like a quiver on my bow, however last year I went out west and did not want to wear my Lakota style quiver as well as a back pack and strap on binoculars. So I bought a Selway removeable quiver and it worked great. However when I got home I took it off again as I still like shooting a bare bow, but I will keep it whenever I have to use a backpack when I am hunting.
I've got a Boa, Selway and Great Northern, but I'm thinking that an Eagles Flight looks to be the most convenient. Gonna have to try one someday.
