RE: Need some advice on a quiver
 

Kwickie...

Easy, somewhat quiet (do not shoot with it unless I have to) and CHEAP!!!

I have used them for years and never had a reason to look into a different kind.

RE: Need some advice on a quiver
 

VAboy , I hunt in real thick stuff too. It seems like an attatched quiver is a magnet for briars and especially vines(I've been hung up many times) .Give a look at the Catquiver I or II (quiver backpack combo)on Cabelas or Rancho Safari's website. Especially if you carry a fanny pack or backpack with you anyway. The catquiver fits closely and firmly to your back and is very comfortable(there's nothing dangling around or loose ,crawling through the thickets). Like 2Eagles I don't like anything on my bow either. Also you can pull an arrow out of the Catquiver with 2 fingers as fast as you can a attatched bow quiver and I found it faster than any hip quiver I tried.It has several hooks stitched in for strapping extra clothes to it,etc. I keep a small bungie cord on it for fastening it to the tree or strapping my jacket to it on the way out if it has warmed up a lot. Their worth a look anyway!!

ALPINE SOFT-LOC--you can adjust it up or down or have it on a 15 deg.angle toward or away from you.For the money--you can't beat ALPINE.take a look at one before you buy anything else.JMHO.

I use the 4 arrow kwikee quiver. it accepts carbon or aluminun, fixed or mechan, and I also take mine off and use the tree caddy(made for the kwikee) when in the tree. I don't think you can beat the kwikee for the price.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

RE: Need some advice on a quiver
 

I just bought the Alpine Softlock 5-arrow for my Legacy and couldn't be happier with it. I compared it to the Mathews quivers and the Quickee before buying (those were the three choices I was considering) and chose the Softloc. The Quickee quiver was cheap enough, but it was a bit noisy and seemed to be cheaply constructed. As I'm one to buy the best I can afford once and not have to buy again, that knocked the Quickee out of the equation. I want the option of removing the quiver if I want, so that took out the Mathews 2-piece quiver (which I would have chosen if I were going to always leave it attached to the bow). I liked the Softloc design better than the Mathews one-piece removable quiver, specifically how sturdy it mounted while still being very quick and easy to remove. It was also cheaper, of course, but that was just a bonus for me.

I have a basement full of quivers. Depends on whether you want to beable to take it off to shoot in a stand. I like to take mine off so have gone to a Quickee. Two piece quivers are quieter as they usually hold the arrows closer to the ends and you have two solid mounting points in the limb holes. A one piece quiver is definetly noisier than a two piece. For every day use and a lot of hunting it's really hard to beat the simplicity of a Quickee. I have $85 quivers hanging all over that just didn't perform as well and were a pain in the butt. You can get the quickee for aluminum or carbon, fixed, mechanical or one that'll do either... all for under $25. The nice thing to is they have all these handy little tree brackets to hold it when in a tree. I also mounted a bracket on the top section of my climber so the arrows are at my finger tips if I ever get lucky enough to get two shots. Plus, before I start up the tree I attach the quiver to the stand and tighten it up. That way I don't have to mess with the quiver or possibably drop it trying to mount it. It also leaves less to get hung up when pulling up my bow.

i didn't like the hip quiver because i only use climbing stands and the hip quiver was always getting in the way and banging on my stand as i walked so now just use a one piece quiver and take it off the bow when i get in my stand
