I use a hip quiver for spot & stalk hunting. I don't secure the lower end of the quiver to my thight though, it's only attached to the belt of my fanny pack. This gives the arrows a little more freedom in heavy brush. I tried securing it to my thigh and had problems with arrows catching on brush and falling out of the quiver. Also, when it's secured to your thigh, the knock ends of your arrows are swinging back & forth with every step you take. I thought it was way too much movement for me, so I unstrapped the bottom of the quiver and now it just hangs there. Problem solved.
