It tends to make a drummy sound sometimes when it gets slapped from the brush when on the move.

I have a Simmons Bushmaster Quiver that has that same problem. Great quiver, but rather noisy when it gets hit by brush.

As anyone can attest to (who has been to my house) I have a rats nest of briar's and brush everywhere but on the trails.

I stayed off the trails and picked my way as best I could through the length of the property and back again.
The quiver is so well tucked behind me, it was very hard to get anything to hit it

After awhile I decided to just make it get hit by bending back limbs, stepping into their path, turning slightly and then letting go.
After being beaten with what amounted to a cat of nine tails (other nature style) I can give a good report on just what is going on with this quiver.

First of all, with the cap left off, it does echo the impact of anything that thumps it.
With the cap pulled over the top, there is nearly no sound at all.
With the soft cap pushed down into the quiver there is no noise at all
I walked quickly and slowly and at all times, my coat and pants made more noise than did the quiver.

Here is what I did notice....
The quiver is right behind your ear and therefore transmits any sound right to you and it is amplified in that way.
To confirm this, I took the quiver off and held it out in front of me as I walked through one particularly nasty section and again, it made no more noise than did my coat as I passed.

The noise it did make was a higher pitch due to the fact that the quiver is rigid but the felt cover really knocks that down to nothing

I have to admit...you guys really got me worried there for a minute ;D
No problem...very nice

Huh, nice day for a walk eh BT?
You make an excellent observation about the quiver being right behind your ears! :PDidn't consider that at the time...but I like this quiver so well it wouldn't matter anyways. I'm not going for a hike with it...I'm either stalking or in a stand of some sort.
I always take it off anyway when I'm in the stand.
Glad you like the quiver BT.....and I'm glad I got mine before the price hike!

Worth the price I paid so far....maybe even another 40-45 if it holds up the way I think it will

I have never ever had a quiver that was this much fun to use.
Like a speed loader for a pistol the way those arrows go in and come out

I was looking at them and had a couple of questions about them so I emailed Safarituff and I got a response from them the same day. I was impressed with how they answered my questions. So I would image that you can expect good customer response from them. The email address is ([e-mail])

That quiver looks sweet!!!! I'm going to the site and check em' out.
