RE: Attaching quiver to existing pack. . .
 

Glad I could help. ;)

Chase2 and Agent Zero M,

I used some closed cell foam like the kind cheap broadhead targets are made of to replace the foam in the hood of the CQ and hold the broadheads. Push the B/H all the way in to the back of the blades and the nocks only need to rest on the bottom plate of the CQ. As for how low it hangs, I shot mine with arrows at about 28.5 inches, and found that if I sat on a log, the bottom plate was over the back. I also used a fanny pack, I just snapped the pack on then reversed it so the pack is in my front. It works well as long as your not carrying too much stuff.

I'm currently going between a bow and a hip quiver. Hopefully someone can answer this one. When using a climber stand you say you can thow the straps of the CQ onto the climber BUT, can you still easilly get to you arrows or would they be to far behind you?

I've got a CQ-1, which has just the small storage on top of the quiver. I attach it to the outside of a cabelas backpack, which I already had when I purchased the CQ. This has served me well for the last 4 years elk hunting. It's very quiet, you just have to make sure the CQ is cinched very tight to the backpack so it doesn't flop around. I also run an elecrical tie through the top nylon loop of the backpack and the top loop of the CQ.
In answer to another question, I can't sit on the ground w/o taking the backpack off, but I can live with that. Also, with a little practice, the arrows are easily accessable w/o taking the backpack off.

I just came up with another option: Maybe I could mate a small quiver to a small hydration pack and carry the rest of my junk in a "leg-pack." I saw these today and they looked pretty cool. Two large cargo pockets are suspended from a waist belt and attach around the thigh. If this doesn't make sense, you can find them at Summit Equipment.

You may be trying to carry too much. I bought a sweet backpack at Wal-Mart last year just before the season opened. It is two-in-one as it has a lower part that will unzip and can be worn as a fannypack. The fanny pack part by itself wasn't very comfortable as it drooped terribly, it is not attached to the belt very securly. But, the pack is nice, has a hydration bladder compartment, an outer pocket on each side, and a outer-center pocket. It was big enough to hold my Montana Decoy, and everything else I needed. Usually the problem is I fill it with TOO much junk and the weight becomes unbearable, especially chasing these wandering Wapiti.
