Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
Okay someone please explain to me the use of having a quiver that cost $100+. I know bowtech is the manufacturer and the only advantage that this thing offers is the magnetic hood that keep ur broadheads in place. Is paying this kind of money truly worth a benjamin plus?
|
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
There isnt one. I thought about buying one, because lets face it they are pretty cool. But everytime I stick my arrows in my $30.00 Bohning, I think...wow this works just as good.
|
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
i dont get those either, but the hostage rest looks pretty nice. id rather spend the 100+ on somethin that makes my bow shoot better.
|
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
my buddy bought it and i thought he was crazy. but once i realized how nice those magnets are they are pretty sweet. dont have to worry bout expandables goin off, dulling blades,etc.

RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
I guess it depends on what you want in a quiver and what you are willing to pay for.
Do you want to keep puting your blades inside foam that not only dulls your broadheads but soaks up moisture and over time will rust your blades or do you want one that does not touch the blades at all and keeps them razor sharp? Do you want a quiver that is attach and detach in one position only or do you want one that is adjustable for the length of your arrows, balance of your bow, angle of the quiver, front to back, side to side, etc... etc... Do you want on that is made of plastic or fully machined aluminum and will last a lifetime? |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
The Octane has been the most quiet quiver in my opinion to remove and reattach to my bow. It's also very easy to reattach in the dark in a very short space of time without making any noise.
The feature of having severalarrows that are 'easily' removable, just heldby the magnet (while in the stand) is such a relief. I know the price is indeed scary, but I think it's a quiver you'll own for a very long time and as Bigbulls mentioned it all'aluminum'. |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
The Octane Quiver is much more than Magnets!;)
Machined aluminum, and quality ozzes throughout the quiver, adjustability is second to none. This quiver will easily outlast any quiver on the market. There are lots of ways to get to town. You can walk or ride in style. I prefer to ride in style!![8D] Hats off to BowTech for finally making a High Quality Quiver!! It is something I have wanted them to do for years. Dan |

that quiver may be nice but they can take that hostage pro arrow rest and pu that thing back on the drawing board

ORIGINAL: bigbulls they can take that hostage pro arrow rest and pu that thing back on the drawing board I still do prefer a dropaway. The Limb Driver in particular, but I do have a Hostage Pro setup on one bow and it is very nice indeed;) Dan |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
I just sold mine I got sick of changing the brushes but I shoot alot. I shoot 4 times a week around 200 arrows a day and the brushes do not hold up , the manufacturer was saying that the brushes could be too tight and it was operator error.
So I said ok I will loosen these bad boys up really loose well the brushes still wore our. for me its not worth messign with the brushes all the time , I switch to the Limb Driver and I dont have to worry about the wear . It looks cool and is very light and might be for someone that doesnt shoot but a few times a week and maybe shoots 60 arrows but for me and anyone that shoots alot I do not recommend it |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
Back to the quiver. I bought one for my hunting setup and I think it is great. It is perfect for me because I like to take it off the bow when I get into my stand, which is much quieter than any other quiver. Plust I can stick it to my stand, which is also metal. Try it on your refrigerator at home. It's pretty cool.

RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
If anyone wants to try one at a lower price I have mine on flebay action No.

RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
I've played with the Octane quiver and while it is nice. I'm not a big fan of the weight it has. I've been using an Alpine soft loc for lord knows how many seasons now and it works just as well IMO. I even think it may be easier to attach and detach than the Octane.
If I ever stumble across a good deal on the Octane, sure, i'll probably buy it. But I'm not totally sold on 125.00 dollars for it. |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
Gotta love it! Quick, easy, detachable. Really the only reason I bought it ws for the magnet. Thats my favorite part about it I never did care for the foam on my old quiver. The best $125 I ever spent!

RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
I'm going to have to check out the Limb driver because I've been thinking about getting a QAD Ultra drop away to replace my Hostage rest. The Hostage is a solid rest but I am slightly irritated by the wearing down of the brushes. Besides, I hear that you can group better and fly faster with a drop away. I don't know if that's true or not but I'm going to find out.
In regards to the Octane quiver, I'm going to wait and buy one used because they are very nice quivers considering they are machined aluminum, functionality is superb, and they look awesome but like most everyone else, I have a hard time slapping down $120 for an arrow holder, LOL. |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
ORIGINAL: provb28 that quiver may be nice but they can take that hostage pro arrow rest and pu that thing back on the drawing board Its a terribly made piece of crap. I'd sooner have a WB on my bow. Best full containment non-drop IMO, is the QuikTune 360... or heck even a good old fashioned Bo-Doodle. I don't even want to contemplate how many Hostage and Hostage Pros our shop has sent back to Bowtech.... in some instances, entire CASES at a time. |
RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
My alpine Soft-lok was a damn site cheaper and does a brilliant job , The Octane IMO is justBOW BLINGfor them that can afford it .

RE: Octane Quiver Whats Up?!
Well, I haven't seen one up close yet but from what I can see is that it's machined aluminum, durable, and solidly attached so that it is one with the bow. I'm not sure but that's the feeling I get from it. I would like to see one up close but like you, I cannot justify slapping that much money down for the Bling Bling man. Instead I will wait and look around for a used one. In other words, I don't need it but if the oppurtunity presents itself I will get a used one for half the price and be happy.

X2!!!! While bigbulls makes some very valid points and I seldom disagree with himhe has vast amount of experience/knowledge which I respect,I have to disagree this time. I tried 1 out and went back to my alpine soft-loc quiver. Black stick-after using both,I can't understand your statement of octane quivers being quieter than alpine soft-loc quivers. I'm allowed to test things sometimes from my local pro shop so that's how I was able to test the octane quiver before buying it,I saw no reason to purchase it since my alpine does everything I want it to. Also,alpine soft-loc quivers feature dual shaft holders so my broadheads touching/rusting/contact with the foam inside hood is non-issue.

I am totally 100% pleased with it. The rubber bracket does look a bit bulky... but I am function over form..... especially when it comes to hunting gear. |
