I think my quiver was $39.99 :dunno: I like it a lot. I think for upgrades I'd care more about the stabilizer, string, sight, peep, and broadheads :twocents:

I have the octane carbon dead lock pro, its a little cheaper than the tight spot was new, but you can get tight spots used pretty cheap and I have recently contemplated getting one as I have heard the quiver bracket where it attaches to the bow is better on the tight spot, but I don't know from experience and haven't any issues with my Dead Lock so I haven't made the change.
On a separate note I run a side bar to offset the weight of the quiver and help keep the bow level at full draw anyways.

What difference did you notice in grouping after switching?

I have a $30 quiver on my bow and I don't see the need to spend $120 on a new quiver, because mine seems to hold my arrows just as it should.

It's just like owning a $2,000 binocular. Once you have it, you don't ever want to use a binocular of lesser quality. But if all you have ever had is a $400 binocular, you don't know what you're missing, and you'll probably get by just fine.

Shh! I consider my $400 binoculars "high end" :chuckle:

For those of you who say, "nothing but a Tight Spot"...what did you have before?I started with a 10 arrow Martin assault quiver. Then went to a tree limb quiver then ultimately to the tight spot. Pse did have a dang nice 2 piece for a while. Not sure if they still do.

Thats the thing about the tight spot some people dont realize, its not how well it holds arrows (even though it does that very well) its how well your bow holds and balances at full draw. A good holding balanced bow will be more accurate. And to me accuracy is everything, and I will take any little bit I can. With a tight spot your not buying just an arrow holder, your buying a better balanced, better feeling setup. Which to me is worth every penny. :twocents:

The fact it offers no adjustment for arrow length, it carries an odd number of arrrows, seems like the attachment point could be prone to failure, ( no issue yet, we will see how hunting season goes ) and as mentioned before costs as much as a decent release requiring a myriad more moving parts and machining.
I have never shot without a quiver. In the past I have always used quality 2 piece quivers. Mathews and fuse both have made qivers in the that were much more quiet and solid than the TS IMO. And fuse even held a full half dozen arrows! But as most good thiings they have come to an end and that left me looking for other options, any of the sight mounted quivers were out as I prefer NOT to remove my quiver and these affect balance.

The Bear Anarchy made a single hunting trip to Canada with a Tight Spot quiver on it. When I got home I gave the quiver away and set the bow in the corner. Only hunting it has done since then has been for alligator. If the quiver mounts had been spaced properly for that long riser I expect it would have plenty of blood on it by now. Instead it is scheduled to be a decoration in Del's trophy room as soon as I find a bow box long enough for it.
The Martin Alien X is one of the best ergonomically designed bows in recent memory. Super quiet, good speed, light weight and a perfect blend of stiffness and stability. My first two arrows shot out of it at 50 yards resulted in a robinhood - with broadheads. I probably shoot paper with it better than any other hunting bow I have here. Yet it has never hunted outside of a blind. All because it is dang near impossible to mount a good quiver on it. Some day soon I plan on machining a new riser exactly like this one with a new Hoyt/Bowtech style cable guard, an old Hoyt style grip and a decent quiver mount. Had we come out ahead on the Martin deal that would have been my first design priority.
Those two bows could very well challenge the Experience as my bow of choice in the field. It's only because the manufacture didn't think it was important to make them NW two piece quiver adaptable they find themselves collecting dust in the corner.
Yes, the quiver does matter!!! At least it does to me.

I have never let arrow go at animal with a quiver on my bow in 24 years of bow hunting
Interesting...I've only taken a few deer, an elk, coyote and turkey with my bow but have had a full quiver mounted to the bow every time. I always forget to take it off when I am calling.

Road hunting it's damn near impossible to get your bow out the window with a quiver on :chuckle:That's why the shooter stands in the bed of the pickup :chuckle:

Quiver is always off in the stand ! It's extra weight to hold plus a quiver full of arrows makes your bow that much bigger when trying to move it to draw. Elk hunting when I set up I knock a arrow and quiver is laying next to me.:yeah: I don't have anywhere near the experience that huntnnw does, but so far I have found the same.

Works great for the price.
