        Howdy. Well, I’m back from what seems to have been a rather long hiatus. I’m really liking the looks of the above mentioned quivers and would like to know if any of you, with experience with them, had problems with them sliding or do they stay put? Thanks.

          EFA quivers are my favorite because they are very light.
          The new ones have a buckle and strap system and do not slip at all.

            Just purchased EFA Mini Max and I like the way it feels on my longbow. Hope that it serves me well this fall in pursuit of whitetails.

            I bought this 4 arrow bow quiver since I mainly hunt on the ground, stillhunting deer. Allows me to carry a day pack and not worry about my back quiver hanging up on branches. I also like there is less motion to get a second arrow nocked if necessary. Back quivers tend to be noisy also.

              Haven’t had any trouble with mine slipping; they lock on solidly. Been shooting with mine with three arrows in it to check for any noise or other problems and can find none. They are a nice, light addition to my longbow! They are reasonably priced and well built. Hats off to EFA for a good product.:)

                I was hesitant to put anything on my Hill longbow, but wanted to try one so I could carry a pack in place of my back quiver – hunted and practiced with a Mini all last season, and can recommend it highly. Very light weight & no slip, rattle or other noise.

                    I have a Totem, very solid, no noise, hardly any weight. This is a very high quality product.

                      Will these quivers fit the smaller style flatbows? Just a question 🙂

                        I dunno if I understand the parameters involved here. Is the riser shorter or thinner than a Centaur’s? The new Totem (I like the model because it has a connecting rod between the two pieces, guaranteeing consistent placement, no slippage) has an adjustable connecting rod, so that it can fit any length riser. My personal quiver predates this feature, and I shortened the rod to fit the bow.

                        I do not know the minimum limb circumference that the quiver straps would accommodate. If you contact the maker, Don Ward, I think you will find him to be a pleasant, helpful chap, easy to talk to. Heck of a shot, too.

                            Hopefully, my Eagles’ Flight Apache quiver will arrive today. I’ll post my thoughts when time permits, and after I’ve used it for a while.

                              just received the quiver today.

                              Initial impressions:
                              1. VERY well made. Attention to detail evident.

                              2. The hood is much smaller than I had expected, considering it holds 4 arrows and it is the “Jumbo” version. It appears it is JUST large enough for broadheads, unless you’re using some unusually superwide broadheads. This a plus, not a negative.

                              3. The straps are well designed and it’s really easy to tighten them sufficiently.

                              4. I have an ABS single arrow quiver that holds the arrow too close to the handle. I can barely fit my hand between the bow handle and arrow. Not so with this quiver. The gap is perfect, not too much, not too little. No problem with gloves either.

                              5. Incredibly lightweight. Without arrows I can BARELY feel the quiver.

                              UPDATE 10/28/09: After using the quiver in the field, I REALLY like it. Works very well. Lightweight, doesn’t move. I’m using 175 grain Abowyer Brown Bears. They stick out a little bit, but not too much that it concerns me.

                              UPDATE 10/29/09: Right after the above update, with my longbow in it’s cloth case, I went pick up the bow, and grabbed it RIGHT where the barely exposed broadheads sit! Luckily I did not cut myself, so I stand corrected. A bigger hood would be better with the Brown Bears, and other long broadheads. Eagles’ Flight Chief will work, and possibly the Jumbo III will work as well.

                              UPDATE 11/30/09: Although unintentional (I assume), the exterior of the straps are just like the VERY fine hook side of Velcro and grabs clothing, which can get a little noisy. Not a huge issue. Can be resolved simply by sowing or gluing some cloth over it.

                                I’m using a Hill style longbow this season. I strapped on my 4-arrow Eagle’s Flight quiver last night and filled it with two 175 grain Samurais and two 175 grain Maasai broadheads. They fit perfectly in the hood. No room to spare but I like that. I strap the hood on higher than I want to place it, then slide it down the limb into the flare of the grip to tighten it on the bow. That works really well. I really like the quiver! I don’t actually care for quivers on my bow, but at times it’s the best solution.

                                I also like the Great Northern quivers, the Rod Jenkin’s arrow master, and the GFA quiver.

                                I don’t think you can have too many quivers! 😀 todd
