Lightest bow quiver

1Longbow · September 30, 2018, 02:48:56 PM

Either 1pcs or 2 which is the lightest bow quiver, to hold 4 arrows. I don't like a
lot of weight on my bows,but really haven't found a good off the bow solution for hunting.Thank you

I've owned Eagles Fight Archery's Apache and Cochise very light quiet and solid. I have Totem and Set back options on both and they can be built customized and faster than you can say blood trail!

ditto...lighter by quite a bit than anything else I've used, especially if you just go with a more spartan setup, gripper and hood only with no add-ons. The totem and wing set-back are worth the very small weight penalty to me though, and still lighter than other options.

An Eagle's Flite strap on is probably the lightest. I have one and it works fine. But lightness isn't the only factor to consider. I prefer Selway slip ons a bit more. More stable/solid on the bow for me. Either will work fine.

I use the Thunderhorn small fry. It's light but not quite as the Eagles Flight quiver
Probably only an ounce or so. But it's my preferred quiver and I've had Selway ,
Great Northern, Eagles Flight.
Personal preference just like the bow you shoot.

The weight of my Thunderhorn Linx Small Fry Strap-on Quiver is ten (10) ounces.

Good Shooting,
Ross

I like you don't like a heavy quiver on a bow and have tried many quivers over the years.The lighter the better for me.

I hunt a lot with the smallest of the Eagles flights 4 arrow hoods paired with a 3 arrow gripper.The 4 arrow hood gives you a little more room for broadheads.I have also used the 3 arrow hood and 3 arrow gripper.

Thats as light as it gets in a 3-4 arrow quiver.One other thing I like about them as they fit close to the bow for good balance.I think some stick out too far from the bow.I like the balance point.

The 4 arrow hood with 3 arrow gripper is my main bowquiver.Three arrows with this quiver is very light.I feel like I should not need more than 3 arrows.I hope not!My backup bow has an Eagles flight 4 arrow hood and 4 grippers.

My go to is a tapped Kwickee quiver covered with leather and snakeskin. easy on/ easy off. Just what works best for me

I find the Eagle's Flight four arrow model to be the best overall

WESTBROOK · October 01, 2018, 08:12:43 PM

A few ounces one way or the other isnt a big deal by the time you fill it with arrows. I found its more how the weight is distributed.

I dont care for GN quivers on longbows because the weight is behind the riser, closer to the string and my bow tries to twist with a loose grip. A EFA or Selway type the weight is right on the riser in line with it...more stable for me.

I highly recommend a Selway. I have the slide on version and I love it. It is amazing how well balanced my bow is, and how much more it helped with the noise.

I figured I'd throw my hat in the ring on this. We have a small, med, and large quiver that straps on and won't slide... The small, is about 5 oz and the med and large are only about 5.5 and 6oz. . Available with either 4 or 5 arrow gripper and optional deflex bracket that will allow you to move the fletched end of the arrows back in line with your bottom limb... or wherever you would like them.

My Bro in law has one of Jim's quivers and I must say they are sturdy and appealing. His shelf is on the wrong side so I never had the chance to try it out. He did say it stays put.

Its a big misconception that we have a heavy quiver, we may not be the lightest, but therea very little difference amongst all the offerings on the market once loaded with arrows.

Pictured is our rawhide recurve slide on, 9 oz on our shipping scale.

This is my new 4 arrow strap-on bow quiver. It weighs in at 7-8 oz! I also offer it in a 3 arrow model.

I was never a fan of bow quivers until I started making the Okie-Bow quiver which is great for 2 blade broadheads or fieldtips. Here is a picture of it. It comes in between 6-7 oz!

The weight of a quiver, how it is positioned on the bow, and how steady it is on the bow are all important. Our motto which we've used for years is "Travel Light with Eagle's Flight". We have a lot of our customers report that their bow was quieter and even shot tighter groups with their quiver on the bow. Our smallest 3 arrow quiver (Mini) weighs in at about 4 ounces, and the standard 4 arrow (Maxi, Cherokee, and Little Geronimo) weigh about 4.5 - 5 ounce. Our larger "Chief" size 4 or 5 arrow (Cherokee, Navajo, and Cochise) quivers weigh in at about 6 ounce.

Weight isn't everything, but it is a major factor. Our unique and proven Talon Grip system is rock solid on the bow, but it's important to put it on correctly. Remember, "Travel Light with Eagle's Flight".
