Quiver Question
 

I have been bow hunting now for around 5 years and am starting to become picky on my equipment and picky on my skills to give me the best chance possible. I have a PSE bow and saw that my quiver that is attached to it has cracked. I am looking to buy a new quiver but I don't know if I want a quiver attached to my bow or not. What has been your expriance with quivers? Do you prefer them on or off when you shoot? Can you tell a difference on your bow when you have on/off? Any info would be helpfull. Thanks

Alpine Soft Loc
 

I use an Alpine Soft Loc 3 Arrow. It stays on my bow constantly to include practice sessions and in the tree stand. The bow balances differently with the quiver so I leave it on so that I am used to it.

Some folks take off the quiver in the stand and it works for them.

I like a bohning lynx quiver it holds 3 arrows .

I always take off my quiver, I only use it when I'm walking to my blind. I like the feel better, plus I don't need more stuff waving around when I'm getting set for a shot.

Yup, same here...usually just put it on a hook or tree limb but think I will get a quiver bracket that screws in this year so it is sturdier if I need a second arrow.

I used to shoot with the quiver on all the time. It was always a hassle finding a good one that was quiet and didn't make the bow so unbalanced. This year I went to a 4 arrow quiver attached to my pack and a 3 arrow softloc on my bow. I practice shooting with the quiver on and off, just in case I get a shot while walking in to the stand or stalking, but once in the stand I take it off and hang it up. The 3 arrow version balances better and is much more compact than the larger 5 arrow version. Overall softlock quivers are one of the best overall values when it comes to price vs performance.

Practice how fast you can get a follow-up shot with your quiver on.....and with your quiver off.

MOST people don't shoot with the quiver on...because they "prefer" it. There's a solid reason why they do it.

Alpine Soft Loc is a solid choice. I also like the Octane line of quivers including the New Bantam Weight quiver. The quality construction and features are worth the extra price IMO. I usually leave my quiver on in a tree stand and take it off in a ground blind.

As far as follow up shots?:s3: I prefer to make the 1st shot count.:s4: My uncle always said: "As you believe so be it unto you"

I prefer to be a realist.

If you've always sent your arrow to the precise spot you were looking (or never had the spot you were looking move:s4:).....and have never required a follow up shot.....

PLEASE start a new thread and tell us all how you do it.

Otherwise........don't insult my intelligence.

Hard to insult something that is absent:s3:

LMAO!! Jk'ing? Maybe:eek2:

Dan

What would a man who NEVER misses his precise mark need with a multi-arrow quiver anyways?

Dan....You're an extremely persistent product peddler....but intelligence isn't your strong suit.

I asked people to question why others utilized their quivers ON their bows. That's it. Think about it...................unless you too are infallible.

I've killed 3 deer in one evening before Jeff! Hard to do with one arrow, but I have killed 2 does with one arrow complete pass through on both with the same shot. That's why I carry a quiver, not because I need a backup shot on deer #1:s4:

The 2 with one shot wasn't planned, but it did happen.:kiss:

I know! I know! Big IL deer are easier to hit. Right?

Dan

So Dan...let me get this straight. Every shot you've ever made was a killing shot and you've never needed a follow-up? If this is true....you're the greatest bowhunter I've ever encountered.

But....this actually is pretty telling.....

I don't shoot with mine on my bow. When hunting I usually hang it in the tree so it is easily accessible if I need to grab another arrow. The goal is to not do that though, make the first one count!

What was it Ed said about Book Learnin'? Gotta Love it!!

Just pressed the ITI button it's all yours Jeff:s3:

Dan

There are wonderous amounts of data at one's fingertips, today. No apologies. It helped me put together 3 seasons in a row (of my 1st 4) that saw me harvest 22 big game animals with my bow.

It also taught me that some will always remain true to form. When in the absence of a solid argument to bolster your views......some will "attempt' to resort to personal attacks. You never disappoint, Dan. I'm sure Bowtech is proud of you....lol.

The two of you need to communicate via PM and stop polluting valid posts on our forum.
