Bow mouted quiver.....
 

OK....So I like the convenience of my bow mounted quiver. I also like the way my bow shoots with it on and loaded.

Probalem is.....the arrows wanna work their way out after several shots (30 or so). Any remedy for this? I wanna practice like I'm gonna shoot it.......when I'm shooting 3D and such.

Here's the kicker.....

I'd LOVE to find a better option than hunting with the quiver on there.....but I can't think of a more practical way of doing it. BAck quiver seems like a lot to keep up with and would get in the way if I was sitting in my stand. Hip quiver would get in the way, climbing AND sitting.

I also don't like the bow mounted quiver on there for weight for shooting 3D (Or I don't think I will).

If you don't use a bow mounted quiver.....and you hunt from a treestand........what do you use?

Thanks.

Keep practicing with the quiver you have on Jeff if you like it as much as you say you do. In time your arrows will go where there suppose to. Just remember your arrows aren't always going to hit where your intending them to shooting these traditional bows. I love shooting with a bow quiver, I shoot much better with it on and I think the reason is because of the weight of the quiver. If I were you I would practice and shoot 3-D with it exactly like you plan on shooting it while hunting. You can still use a hip quiver for 3-D but make sure your bow quiver is full of arrows like it would be when you were hunting.

Here is what I have done Jeff. I don't like shooting with a quiver on my bow either. For 3D I use a pocket quiver and for hunting I have an old detachable quiver for a compound that I have attached to my hunting pack and my arrows stay on that pack and im able to hang it within reach of me while on stand and it honestly does not get in the way when going through the woods, and I can easilly access my arrows quickly if I happen to get a shot opportunity while I have the pack on.

I think you misunderstood me, Schultzy. I'm having issues with the arrows coming out of the quiver! My bad.;)

Here's a question that'll show ya'll how new I am to this, though......feather end "up" or "down" on bow mounted quiver? I hope I have it right.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

That's why I'm asking questions now, Schultzy.

PA....that's a lot of stuff. I'm trying to stay minimal......but I appreciate your intentions (helping me). I carry my bow and a stand in.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

No problem Jeff. I have a lot of of ladder stands I hunt out of so going this route with the pack works out fine for me. What about maybe the Mini Cat quiver and attach it to your treestand as you pack in? Just a thought. Or you could put your quiver on fletching up. I've seen lots of guys who do that.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

I got a cheap quiver off a compound, and put a strap of leather on the ends, and go hunting. I sure wouldn't climb in a tree stand with my bow or arrows. I pull em up.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

I never have either, BC....but good catch. Thanks. I hadn't looked at it that way.

I want to make sure I have a follow up arrow if needed......REALLY handy.

So.....feathers UP in a bow mounted quiver is "OK" or is it "std"? IS there a "std"?

Thanks guys!;)

I'm assuming you have a two piecestrap on quiver or slide on like a great northern, thunderhorn, etc....

I've had the same problems as you with the arrows slipping out while shooting. They do this b/c the two individual pieces are sliding down as your bow vibrates with each shot. I take some black electrical tape and wrap it around behind each piece, enough to keep it from moving any further down the limbs...

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

I have mine down, just like on a compound... I'm not sure there is a standard but everyone I've seen has the feathers down.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

MY quiver isn't slipping.....no chance of that. It's solid where it is (built up with camo tape where it sits. It may have something to do with how far apart my two piece quiver pieces are. That's a thought.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

I'm not sure what could be causing it then, over than vibration.. What brand quiver do you use?

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

I figured point down would work better for you. when i used a quiver, I alway had it point up. But that didnt' last long.:)

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

It's a selway slide on.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

Sorry about that Jeff.;) I guess I've never had issues with the arrows coming loose in mine that often. The quiver I use is called a Delta. Its a one piece quiver that has velcro straps on each end that I wrap around the very top and bottom part of the riser. Its not in contact with the limbs at all. On my Delta quiver where the arrows snap into the quiver there's little screw's that I can loosen or tighten to keep the arrows from moving. The tighter the screws are tightened the harder it is to get the arrows out and also harder to put them in. The feathers are in the down position on my quiver as well. I've always had it like that when I shot compounds as well. Here are some pics of how mine is attatched.

This pic is the sta-jac (arrow holder) I use also and you can see how its mounted.


Bottom of the quiver. Notice the screws I was talking about


Top of the quiver.



Another picture of it.

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

This is what I think it is, your limbs are flexing and working your arrow in and out of the quiver hood when you shoot! I have my 2 piece on the riser and as little as possible on the limbs, I shoot a ton of arrows and have no problem with my arrows slipping. From the pic you posted in another thread it looks TO ME that your hood and grip are to far onto the limbs so when you draw it moves your arrows in and out, I don't know if that makes sense or not!

RE: Bow mouted quiver.....
 

It makes perfect sense. I'm gonna take the tape off the limbs (only sticks to itself)....reposition the quiver pieces.....and re-tape it. I ordered 2 more rolls of the stuff, today.

Thanks.

There is a quiver out there not sure makes it but i know Fred Asbel "invented" it...i am pretty sure you can get them at 3rivers archery...it is basically styled like a bow quiver with a hood and arrow holder but has a strap so you can carry it around your shoulder or whatever...My dad has one and it is really nice....
