Hey guys and gals, i need some help here. I just made an awesome laminated recurve bow(Starting a business out of it if anyones interested, just pm me and i can build you a totally custom bow for about 600) but I'm now stuck on what kind of quiver to get for hunting. Do you guys use back quivers or hip quivers or bow quivers? I usually spot and stalk or hike around till i find a good looking calling spot. The picture is of what my bow looks like. Sorry for the one with the orange, only picture i took of it before accidentally killing my camera  :bash:

Nice looking bow.  I have used a hip quiver in the past that I made from scraps of plastic (like milk jugs) and duct tape.  I liked the position, but it became a bit of a nuisance when walking around, because of the way it would either swing or it would catch on plants as I walked through the brush.  I am planning to make a back quiver next time....that can fit over my back pack.

I use a side-stalker myself, like to be able to pull one out and get it on the string with very little movement.

Is the side stalker one of those ones that the arrow lays horizontally next to you and it slips out of the basket looking thing? Such as the one on the link.

I have a love-hate relationship with quivers, there just isn't a "perfect" quiver, IMO.  That said, at present I have a Thunderhorn Boa and Selway quivers on my bows.  In the past I've used a Raptor side quiver, and still use it at times.  But, for all around use, bow quivers are the best compromise.  Nice bow, BTW!

I have selways but they do not protect the feathers from rain.. so I went to a Safari tuff side quiver... has a cover for the top which is also waterproof, you can easily pull the arrows from the side near the bottom with minimal movement... keeps arrows secure and dry.

I have a Safari Tuff similar to the one linked above. Then I have a side quiver from leather like the first image below which I recently won in a raffle and which sees the most use as of now. I also have an Asbel style side quiver. Finally I have a quiver made from a coyote pelt. More quivers than bows.

i use the 6 arrow kwikee kwiver that attaches to the bow.  keeps everything right there.  i don't worry about my fletches getting wet, probably should, but don't.

main reason for this quiver is that it has a hood that holds the arrow points in small holes rather than in foam.  i find the foam holds too much water and makes the edges of my broadheads rust if i get caught in any weather.

Depending on what I am hunting I'll use either a side-stalker (along a solo stalker for arrow #1) or a bow quiver (Great Northern). I have a lined, fleece bag for both that covers and protects the fletching. I only use back quivers when shooting for recreation but some guys hunt with them.
I'd just like to remind everybody that it's about the hunting, not just the killing. In other words, it's about the total experience, the sport itself and the challenge involved. Bowhunting, done right, is a justifiable and honorable pursuit. Done for the wrong reasons, simply chalking up kills and seeking personal glory, it's taking away rather than giving back to a principled way of life that has to be experienced to be understood.

I have used back,hip and cat style quivers but prefer the bow quiver. After you have tuned your bow and taken all the noise and vibration out of it that you can, the bow quiver will soak up anything you can't get out. I used selway for a while, but I got one of those little 3 arrow quivers from three rivers and love it.
