I have only made one quiver and decided to make it a side quiver. Why....? I just thought it would be more comfortable been on the side instead of my back. Heck I have never even owned a back-pak.. All my trips are short day trekkers maybe 4-8 hours.
I actullay used a Back-pak for the first time last week, Did I like it....NOPE...!!! So what do you guys prefer .....?
1) Side quiver
2) Back quiver
3) Bow quiver...........or other...

Back, I've yet to have a satisfied experience with a side quiver
-
For 3-d shootin' I use either a back or pocket quiver. Hunting I use a hip quiver, always wear a day-pack. Bob
-
3 D pocket quiver, for hunting ,bow quiver,strap on. :)

For Me, I couldn't get used to a bow mounted quiver - seemed to un balance things. Bob

Seems to do just the oppsite for me Bob,seems to add a little weight and I can hide behind it if need be. :) :) It is all in what you get use to,I use to use a back quiver but started carrying a day pack as I got older,then tried the hip/side/Asbell style and I guess about everything else one time or another, ???guess that is why my cabin is full of all kinds of arrow quivers now. ;) ;D finaly decided on the strap on bow quiver and that is about all I use anymore. :)bow101 I would just give several styles a try and it won't take long to find the +-'s of each. :)

I like a modified stalker-type side quiver. Back quiver seems to always get snagged on brush and hard to get to your arrows, and a bow quiver just doesn't feel right to me on a selfbow, never could get used to it.
-
I've tried about every kind of quiver you could think of and probably a few others. When I shot glass bows I liked a bow quiver for the same reasons Pappy said but not for selfbows. I like my selfbows nekket. For 3D shooting I like a side stalker style quiver and for hunting I like a GFA style side quiver I made from my old bow quiver.

I use a basket or pocket quiver all summer. For hunting I prefer my cat quiver mini. BUT, a good friend of mine is transforming a bobcat tom hide into a quiver for me. So Im sure it will ride along this fall.

I use a back or side quiver for trad shoots but I took a slide on kwikee quiver and mounted the bow attachment to a piece of leather and put that on a belt and use that quiver for hunting. Cheap to make and very quiet when walking. I just un-clip the quiver from the belt and hang it in a tree or on my stand when I am hunting.
-
I prefer plains style or stalker type side quivers for roaving, stumping, and target.
For a hunting quiver I prefer a hooded quiver whether on the bow or on the side but definitely not a back quiver.
-
I prefer a back quiver. Probably got at least a dozen of them. Tried all styles and still prefer a back quiver. I was taught to put on a back quiver with 36" dowells in it to learn how to move through brush when I was around 12 yrs old.

The bestest quiver is the one I got from Pat. Thanks buddy it is sweet!
-
You better say that, Jon. ;)
-
If I'm stalking I either use my Highnoon Hunter side quiver/back quiver or carry two arrows in my hand. In a tree stand I like the strap on quivers that Pappy uses.
-
I use a bamboo tube i rigges with an adjustble strap. can be back or side hanging quiver. side exit to reduce visible motion.
maymake a soft buckskin bag type side quiver.
-
The best quiver is one given by a friend. ;D

For 3-D I like to use a genuine Ozzy pocket quiver. For hunting I made something new last year to hold stone points. I was very happy with how it worked. I'll probably use it again this year. All of my hunting is done out of a stand. I hang it up on the tree once I get in the stand.

Back quiver with bonnet on top when I used to hunt- never got comfortable with a bow quiver. Now I just punch holes in backyard targets so it's a side quiver and a front pocket quivers. Hopefully they are pictured in the attachment The front pocket one is real handy- especially for visitors. It's made of PCV flashing with a wood plug fasten to the bottom end and it's wrapped with the ever handy duct tape. The side quiver rides on my right side- the arrows point forward instead of backwards like most side quivers.

I'm most comfortable with a hip quiver from my modern recurve days, but I'm getting used to the side/back quiver I got for christmas.
