Default Long bow quivers

Looking for suggestions for a long bow quiver. I don't want to screw anything to my bow and I don't want anything that's overly bulky

I'm shooting a 58" beaver creek

Any help is appreciated

Thanks

Back quivers are nice and so are hip quivers.

Default Long bow quivers

I use the Eagle Flight Archery line of quivers on my Howard Hill and 3R's Tomahawk longbows. the 3arrow mini and 4 arrow maxi don't add much weight to the bow or alter the handling.
For hunting I use Cat Quivers by Rancho Safari. multiple styles and the arrows are behind you and are protected from rain/snow, easy to access and you don't have all the arm motion when extracting an arrow when compared to a back quiver.

Then there are the side quivers like Dawgware and Arrowmaster sling quivers that hang at your side. easy to use and the arrows stay dry. this can be tied to a pack if you are hiking in or carrying a tree stand.

There are many styles to chose from, it comes down to which one fits your style of shooting..

Check with the Calgary Archery Centre in Calgary or Git-R-Done archery also in Calgary. Have not dealt with other traditional vendors in the Province but I am sure there are some good one around Edmonton and Red Deer that carry the same line of products.

Hope this helps

Look into a Selway slide-on or buckle-on two piece quiver. Inexpensive and work.

For Traditional or backpack type Catquivers both look at 3 Rivers Archery

http://www.3riversarchery.com/tradit..._baseitem.html

or locally at GIT-R-DONE ARCHERY LTD. talk to Dennis...

Default All of the Above

Tandy leather and a bit of creativity and you can have a bow quiver, back quiver and hip quiver for the price of one of the commercially available quivers.

with the LB I prefer the back quiver. That said I own a selway slip on for my recuve (checkmate hunter) and it works well. Another cheap option is to add a strap to an old delta quiver and carry lit like an Asbell GFA.
