Title: what do you prefer quiver on the recurve or what
Post by: Chet43 on June 22, 2018, 06:47:52 AM: just curious but what do you prefer quiver on a recurve or on the person, side or back quiver?

I moved from a back quiver to this a while back. Much nicer for those long crawls through the brush.

Those times you have to duck or crawl through stuff is just not worth it.
Plus, sometimes between my binoculars, pack, and calls, I got enough stuff hanging off me...

Post by: scotsman on June 26, 2018, 09:00:24 PM: Note the angle of my quiver on He riser. The hood is close to the mass of the riser and the arrows follow the angle of the lower limb. When going through brush, as the top limb goes through the thick stuff the arrows follow along nice as can be. Also make sure you have the right size grippers for the diameter arrow shaft.

My Bear quiver from the 60's has never lost an arrow even when I bushwack. so I never have that problem. :dunno:

Post by: scotsman on June 28, 2018, 12:42:19 PM: It is a Delta quiver. Unfortunalely they are no longer in production but they pop upon the big auction site frequently. Bear bought the design from Delta and made them for a few years too. Rumor is that Bear will start making them again.

Post by: Cab on June 28, 2018, 02:04:12 PM: Here's my quiver......$25-$50 on ebay and you get a damn good one that is like new. I have one for my Grizzly and one for my older 60's bows that don't have a berger hole.

Post by: scotsman on June 28, 2018, 04:53:55 PM: Yeah those Bear spring arm quivers are brilliant. I have one I use on a one piece recurve but it wont work on a takedown. the grippers were old and brittle so I made new grippers from cheap Wal Mart flip flop shoe material. Works great.
