RE: Looking for AFFORDABLE quiver??
I can't see spending any more money than absolutely neccessary on a quiver. $100+ you all need your head examined. [8D]
Pick up one of the bohning models or a kwikee kwiver & be done with it.

Treelimb.
If you want to splurge a little then the premium is awesome. It runs 80 - 90 bucks made from machined alluminum. It works like the Mathewws "T" series but runs about 30 bucks less.
If you don't want to spend that much their regular quivers are the best in their price range IMO. A 5 arrow sells for 34.99 and a 3 arrow sells for 29.99. You can slide the quiver up or down depending on how long your arrows are and you can also pivot the quiver from straight up and down to having the arrows canted toward the shooter.

I was just browsing around today at the quivers that Cabelas carries. I liked both the Alpine Soft Loc and the Vortxx 5 quivers. The Vortxx seemed pretty nice, light weight, compact, adjustable, and also had aluminum construction as well. Price was really good as well at $37.99. I'm not really sure if I like the cloth covered hood. Seems like it would just get caught on something and tear. Does anyone have any experience with the Vortxx quiver?

Dont know about the Vortxx but another vote for the Alpine Soft Loc. Not only is it great for the money, I like it better than others I've used that are 3X as expensive.

Only hang up about the soft locks is that they are also three times as heavy as any other quiver in their price range. That huge rubber bracket adds a lot of weight to the side of the bow where there is already a bunch of weight with the other accessories.
In the Alpine quiversI personallywould rather usethe bear claw over the soft lock.
