Default quiver on a Merlin

A question for you guys who hunt with a Merlin. What quiver do you use with them?

Default RE: quiver on a Merlin

I use a Kwikee 6 arrow because it goes on and off the bow quickly. I do not leave a quiver on my bow while hunting, so it's just to carry the arrows compactly to my stand anyway. Once there, the Kwikee has a quick disconnect and I tie a piece of release rope around the bottom of quvier itself in a loop, and simply hang it on the adjustable step of my Lone Wolf sticks, the last step being within easy reach. (any limb or other place with quick access will do too) I've been using the Kwikee for many years and have no reason to switch. The Realtree Extra Grey matches up nhice to the Merlin's camo too.

I have customers using the new Tru-glo axis 180 on them too with good results. Good shooting, Pinwheel 12

I should add, that living in Oregon, I do almost exclusively spot and stalk or still hunting. I very rarely hunt from a stand. I already have a good pack that I just bought last year, so I doubt I could get permission for another. As for a bow quiver, I have a Kwikee, which is nice and light weight, but the arrows will be way below the bottom cam, especially with this short bow. I am not opposed to this, just wondering if there is a better mousetrap. The Soft-loc seems a bit on the heavy side, which I am trying to minimize as the mountains get a little taller as the day goes on. Seems like I am really limiting myself, but I just had to ask.
thanks,
JMAC
