I need a new bow mounted quiver as I've finally switched to carbons and can't modify my old fixed two piece. This time around I'd like to go back to a removable single piece bow quiver, but want something solid and quiet that holds 4-6 arrows with standard broadheads.
I bought a Truglo, and liked the compact size, but after mounting it and locking to the bow it was still pretty loose and vibrated. Didn't feel like a home engineering project to fix it. So any recommendations? The Alpine Archer 5 arrow looks nice, as does the Trophy Ridge. Any advice would be appreciated.

Take a look at the Alpine Soft Loc. They are under $40, and they are rock solid and quiet, as they are mounted in rubber, and they are easily removed. I don't see me ever using another quiver.

I use a Fuse. It's sturdy and queit. I bought another bracket and put it on my back up bow so I can clip it on either one. 100$ smackers, but hey Im worth it  |

I use the Trophy Ridge one peice Ridge Hunter. It is heavy but stout. Very similar to the Mathews QWuiver

Thanks for the help guys, all were good recommendations. I ended up with the Alpine soft lock. So far I like it. Our bow season opens here in Wisconsin on Saturday, so we'll see how it works!
Thanks,

Congrats on the Alpine quiver, I'm sure you will be happy with it. You could have easily spent more then twice the $$$ on another quiver, but you definetely would not have gotten twice the quiver. Good Luck on Saturday

If you wanted to use your old quiver, here is a easy fix to convert from Alu. arrows over to carbon. Take a hot glue gun and squirt a small bubble into the arrow slot, then let it dry and your carbons will snap in there nice and tight. I used one like that for years until I bought my new bow which came with a quiver. I loved the old quickie quivers, but I don't shoot with my quiver on anyway.
