Hey Cornfed' You think that quiver is light because you used to carrying that tank of bow around. I shot Hoyts for years and Know fisr hand they don't know how to cut weight from their stuff, which is fine from a tree stand or a blind but when your hiking 6 to 12 miles a day for elk you don't want to carry unneeded bulk. I use a Catquiver or a Kwikee 3 and have less into those than the Trophy Ridge. I also agree about them making stuff that is not hunter friendly.
