        I just stole a Martin Serengeti from Cabela’s Bargain cave, it didn’t even have the shelf plate put on it (was still in the original bag w/stringer & paperwork). The shelf is barely skint, like maybe 2 or 3 arrows shot off of it, absolutely flawless otherwise. For some reason the factory string was frazzled so I had a local guy agree to make me a couple Flemish strings. He’s moving too slow for me..I want to retire my Kodiak Magnum NOW.
        I refuse to drill holes in the new bow, can anyone recommend a bow quiver?

          Here’s a nice one to mount w/o drilling….. they make em for all different models and styles of recurve/long bows… good luck

            Surveyor, you have SO many excellent choices in strap-on quivers, which in my experience beat the socks off any bolt on or slip-over bowquiver ever — in silence and ease of use. Leader of the industry pack so far as visibility is Great Northern, while several others make similar units, some better some not. My personal favorites are, for larger stickbows, Thunderhorn, and for smaller bows Shrew. You should be able to google ’em all. Dave

                  Surveyor:

                  I have a slide-on Selway quiver, but it does have a draw-back that I’m constantly fighting, and not sure how to win. Either side of the quiver slowly, over time, creeps away from the riser. Anyway, aside from that, I like the quiver. Also, I’m curious what your plans are for that Kodiak Magnum.

                    The only quivers I will put on my bows are Great Northern. I have tried every single bow quiver made and after I would try them I would sell them except for the GN.

                        Michael, I have a cheapie quickie quiver (slides down on each limb like what you’re describing) and it does the same thing…I have to check it before each shot to make sure it hasn’t come loose.
                        I’ll be keeping the Kodiak Magnum, I have a grandson who thinks he wants to try it (or it’ll become my bowfishin’ outfit).

                          I don’t check my quiver every shot, but every so often, I do have to horse the quiver pieces back down on the riser. As for the Magnum, if you can instill the love of traditional archery in your grandson, all the better. I was just curious because I’ve been watching ebay for one for the last couple weeks, and managed to get out-bid on a couple. Anyway, good luck in your search for a quiver and good luck teaching your grandson about archery.

                            Cant remember where I read it but when I fitted my Selway slide-on quiver I used a small amount of soap, bar soap not liquid, this allowed the quiver to slide on and the soap has set like a soft glue. Don’t know if this might help with sliding quivers.

                              Pothunter,

                              Now that you mention it, I seem to remember something about that from somewhere. Will have to give it a shot and see if it helps. Thanks for bringing that up.

                                I have to say, I used a Selway slide-on on my recurve. I had it mounted for about 2 years and it never moved a fraction of an inch until I pulled it off.
