I've never really found a quiver that was perfect for all situations.

I like back quivers and used them exclusively formany years. If they were good enough forRobin Hood...If they're made right, out of tough, flexible leather (and many are NOT made right) they collapse down on the arrows when you bend over and won't let them spill out. But they are a pain sometimes, like bending over to walk under a low hanging tree branch... Your head clears but the arrows don't and you wind up hanging yourself. [:@]Another problem is, if you've got a bad shoulder, it's kinda hard to reach your ammo.

I've used hip quivers for hunting. No hangings, but I've had to backtrack through the brush a number of times after finding myself with an empty quiver on the far side. [:@][:@]

Cat quiversare good,just too uncomfortable and confining for my tastes.[&:]

Bow quivers... Depends on the bow. I like them fine on some bows, but on others the extra weight throws off the bow's balance real bad.

Acouple of years ago, I broke down and made myself a plains indian style quiver. I like it as well or better than any quiver I've ever tried but it's still not perfect. It's easy to get through the woods with. You just cradle it in your arm and hug it into your body as you go through the thick stuff. And it's quiet. My gripe with it is, all the arrows wind up laying on top of each other. I like to carry a couple of blunts with me and it seems like they always manage to be under the broadheads when I need one. It's not easy to pull out a blunt without dragging a few broadhead arrows out with it.

All things considered,I think awell made back quiver is about as good as it gets.
