I hate quivers

(1/9) > >>

Mesophilic:
Anyone got some quiver suggestions?  Spot n stalk style hunting in rough rocky mountain terrain.

I've tried bow mounted, hip, back, and plains style.  Each has their pros and cons...some rattle too much, others just get in the way.  Can't figure out how to wear a back quiver with a pack on and keep the arrows accessible.   Side quivers hang up in undergrowth too much.  Plains style  make me feel like I've always got to hold on to it with my hand when I'm covering ground to keep it from shifting or bouncing.  Bow mounted just throw off the balance of the bow too much  for my taste.

Edit: I've even tried mounting a bow quiver to a stick and slinging it with mixed results.

StickMark:
No  suggestions here, but I hear the frustration

Crawling with a back quiver, not easy.
In my Redwing recurve days, I started with a bow quiver, and that made belly crawling easy as pie...the joys of Arizona hunting.

I am using back quivers, but sometimes for the final stalk, I take two arrows and leave the quiver with the boots,  ;D.

Don W:
I'm with you on this. I've gone back to bow mounted, it seems like the lesser of the evils, but I'm still looking.

Pat B:
This is the quiver I use for hunting. It is an old Selway bow quiver I disassembled and attached the broadhead cover and arrow holder to a piece of wood and added a shoulder strap. It hangs conveniently by my side for normal carry or can be slipped behind me for stalking or slipped tightly under my arm to carry in tight spaces. It holds the arrows securely and for safe, quiet carry.
 I covered the wood body with snake skin and I have a fleece fletch cover I can use during foul weather or to hide the fletching. I keep this cover wrapped around the body of the quiver when not in use.



If you'd like a better pics I will take some for you.

I like the looks of this. I'd like to see pics of your various carry positions.
