Drilling for a Quickee Quiver Would you or wouldn't you?

[Ssamac]

I really like the quickee quivers that have the side mount which requires tapping inserts into the riser. They are light, quiet and easy to put on and take off. They also do not interfere with the limbs at all. However you have to drill. I have a Browning Safari II that I'd like to add a quickee quiver to but don't want to do it if it's a "collectible" bow. What do you guys think?

Thanks

There are a lot of very nice quivers than don't require holes.I really hate holes expecially after market on old bows.

[MR BILL SHORTY]

NO!

[Ssamac]

But do they stay on tight and are they quiet??
Can you suggest a few?
I tried a Selway. Nice quiver but big and heavy.

Thanks

What about a old Bear double arm?

Great Northern makes a very nice quiver.

bear double arm spring quivers are a bit noisy I find and they kind of scuff up the limbs. I have to look at great northern. Which model do you suggest? I only need to carry 3-4 arrows hunting. Usually one shot is all you get.

Thanks

Before you drill your bow look at the different quiver options that are out there.I am sure you would find one you like that fits your needs.

Your going to drill holes in the bow and are concerned about scuffing up the limbs with a spring arm quiver?

Hey, here is an idea that I have planned and haven't gotten around to it yet.  You can give it a try and save me the experimentation    
 I love the qwikee quivers too, but don't want to drill any holes.  If your bow has a stabilizer insert, I was thinking of somehow making a bracket that the qwikee bushing can fasten to and then screw into the stabilzer bushing?  Might even be as simple as a very small block of wood that the bushing can be screwed into and then just screwed into the stabilizer bushing?  Maybe with some velcro on the block of wood and bow to keep it from twisting?
 I just like the kwikee to get to my stand, so if I get a shot on the way, I could but take off at the stand.  For me it wouldn't be on the bow the whole time shooting, just for that occasional shot while getting to the stand, since I don' t have enough land to do any serious stalk hunting.
 On a newer grizzly that already has the 2 inserts to fit the bear quiver( i don't like the bear newer bear quiver because its more permanent and rattles) I've used the top insert and screwed the  quickee bushing in the one hole and used velcro to keep it from twisting and it worked great for my purpose.

I agree if it has holes already go for it. If not try something else. Good luck!!

GN adjustable strap-on quiver

Go for it! It is not exactly a 56" MSW.

[Ssamac]

Good point. Don't scuff the limbs but drill holes instead. The idea of a block screwed into the bracket for the quickee is a neat idea, but this bow has no inserts at all. I agree with Raineman which is why I'm asking. Just wondering how collectible this bow is? It a great shooter, but you don't see Brownings as a sought after bow. Bjorn, what's a 56" MSW??

I think I'll go looking at the great northern line. Strap on seems good. Are they quiet and tight, however? I have the quickee snap on quiver and it really moves around. It's ok in a pinch but not too great really.
The Selway is nice but big and heavy. Brownings are as a rule a heavy bow to start with.

Appreciate all opinions and suggestions

Thanks

I have an Eagle's Flight Archery quiver on an older Bear Grizzly and I like it.  No holes and solid.

I would never drill a hole in a bow...never !

I believe Bjorn's reference is to the rare 56" 59 Kodiak with a maple sight window that has sold recently for more than $2k.

I drilled a 54" zebrawood Shakespeare Necedah a few years ago for an AMS fishing reel...and happy I did.

But I understand the second thoughts about drilling.  

I picked up Rod Jenkins Arrowmaster sidequiver for 3-D, roving, hunting and love it.  

If you really want a quiver on the bow, then the Great Northern is my choice since it is quiet, light, sturdy, handsome.

[TOEJAMMER]

No.

[Ssamac]

Thanks I'll look at the Great Northern. Where can I find the Eagle's flight archery Quiver and the Rob Jenkins. Roving, 3D and hunting are exactly my needs.

Rod Jenkins  is a sponsor here.  If you click on his site, there  is a short demo on th use of the Arrowmaster.  Also, do a search from PowWow and you will see lots of pages of posts by satisfied customers.  I have 2 of his quivers and regard them just right for my use after 2 seasons of use.
