At the time I was hunting with a two piece longbow and broke it down into a two piece longbow fleece sock and packed it in the Safari Tuff with my arrows. Backing I attached it to the side of my pack. I used my Safari Tuff on back country backpack hunts for elk. I still like having the arrows within sight and on my bow. I just wore it on my belt and let it hang.worked great for keeping arrows close. Kinda like waving a flag of arrows.bad idea. It just makes the quiver move with your leg as you walk. However, it has a leg tie to keep it against your leg.that I don't recommend using. I tried a Kolpin hip quiver, after the Cat Quiver and liked it better. Great stand, made by a company in Tennessee that went bankrupt from the liability insurance. Bungee straps to put your feet in for climbing. Neither my bow or I were damaged in the bail out, but my uncle was about 100 yards away and he walked over to see what had happened and had a good laugh.Īfter the Baker, I purchased a Fox Squirrel climbing stand that had a 1/2" plywood base, angle iron (steel) edges and a metal band coated with rubber tubing for climbing. It shifted or something and started "racheting" down the tree (sounded like a sack of hub caps in a bag) at about the 6 foot mark I decided to pitch my bow and jump. □ Nearly left it in the woods, but I didn't want to litter, so I set it out for the garbage man. Quite frankly I believe that while deer have good (partially colorblind ?)eyes They are very tuned in to anything alien in their accustomed environment.Click to expand.I had the Baker eject my azz out and that was it. I'm also a bit concerned about it being just one more thing to catch in the dense brush of re-growing clearcuts I have thought at times about making a camo-cloth sock to cover the fletching with and attaching it to the quiver frame with a shock cord like the one on the sidestalker type quivers but if I do it will be more to keep the fetching dry than to hide them. Though my target arrows are brightly colored, the ones I take into the deer woods have less gaudy coloring and are fletched with barred colors that are more natural in the upper midwestern fall/winter woods. In addition the small amount of stuff I carry in the pouches adds a bit of weight that keeps the bag form bobbling around It is an easy and natural movement to slide the bag/quiver back behind you when moving. Over the winter I'll be having a new strap made by a harness maker as well as adding a carrier for a small hand axe under the flap on the inner bag.Ĭhangling. the only other negative is that the strap while very sturdy is a bit too narrow to mount a knife pouch like I'd like to do. The one I got some years ago had provision for 4 arrows but I modified mine to handle 6 with out much work. It's not cheap by any means but is incredible well made and should last a lifetime. Tthe pouches are big enough to carry essential the stuff I might need but not so big I overload yourself. I wear it as a side quiver with the strap across my chestand slip it behind me when moving through brush. It can be reversed for our sinister bowhunters. It is a well crafted leather double pouch like a possible bag with a simple bow quiver attached to the outer pouch flap. This is their GermanRidge made Possiblebag and Quiver. However for my purposes the very best quiver for field use that I have found after all these years of searching, buying, and discarding quivers is one that 3-Rivers (and others)sell-picture from catalogue attached. and the resiliant rubber components seem to help quite things too. Simple, easy to work with on my DAS Gen1. at least the ones I had were a bit bulky and unwieldy.īow quivers are a real mixed bag but I found that the Alpine soft-quivers work better for me than anything else. I've tried the sidestalker types but never seemed to find the one that worked quite right. soon after I gave up on aluminum arrows also-at least dropping carbons makes more of a click-almost like antlers rattling than the bonging clank of the AL arrows. the sound of a dozen aluminum arrows falling down through the treelimbs and onto the ground made and end of hunting from that stand for the day. I've dumped arrows on the ground on more than one occasion by bending over and forgetting what I was doing. when sitting on a treestand they are a pain and they can be a bit of a hassle to get on and off in confined spaces.īack quivers are beaucoup de cool of course but if made from the wrong material do a poor job of keeping the arrows secure and QUIET. The Cat quiver types are very nice for walking or standing. side quivers, hip quivers, and of course various bow quivers of different shapes and sizes. I've gone through a whole series of quivers over the years, back quivers like the Cat-quiver type, traditional(?) over the shoulder quivers in various leathers fabrics shapes and sizes.
