Hunters' hip Quivers?

[smj]

Actually I do like it. I don't know how it would be for hunting, stalking I mean not sitting somewhere, seems like the arrows might be able to flop around and make some noise... Yet, if the tips are in foam and the feathers have the protection bag pulled over them, it might work out very nice for hunting.

In general, as a quiver for range use, I think it might pretty nice! I have been playing with back quivers for a while now and am not sure that I really like them. The standard hip quiver is not my favorite either... Flops around to much. So, either I should invest in a more stable hip quiver, or try one of these! I've not read any bad reviews about this type of quiver, but then, I've not seen one yet to pick apart and don't know anyone who uses one! Still, I am leaning towards giving one a try myself.

I am curious to see how well it stays in place. If it always rides to the front, I don't think I'd like it. Rather like a backquiver that always drops way down on your back to where you can't grab an arrow without hiking it back up. This one, my concern is that it rides down and sticks out all day like an overdose of viagra. Also how well it stays in place over rougher country. It might flop a bit and snag in brush??? However, I am thinking that you could pull it up on your back more like a backquiver for rough stuff, then drop it down for stalking... Kind of the solution to a backquiver that wanders around, without the slap-your-leg that you'd get from a hip quiver... Could be good!

You and I are right on the same page.
Everything that your concerned with are the same as I am looking at.
I believe that the riding up will be taken care of with a second chest strap or a half strap that runs low on the carrying strap and re-attaches low on the offside shoulder strap.
At least that's my belief

This is the one I am looking at from Alaska archery supply

I got mine from Keystone.

I wouldn't carry the quiver as shown in the pic, very easy when going through things to loose them. If you have a pack and stand on your back it would impossible to carry it as shown. Mine is turned around so that the arrows would come out in front of me, between my arm and chest. I can keep them tight if needed and also put my hand over the vanes to cover them. They are always in site.

When I used a bow mount and if they were carried as shown the fletchings did, and would get sliced up going through thorny brush.

Mine is carried with a belt around my waist, but I have carried it over my shoulder as shown. The belt didn't come with it. Just a quick cinch type. If I want to wrap it around the tree I remove it like all belts. If I just want to hang it I loosen it and step out of it. The vista is covered with a felt like material. Very quiet, with foam insert and traditional arrow grips like most bow quivers.

Alpine makes a leather belt quiver holder for their Alpine quivers. On and off in a snap. I have a Cat quiver,never liked it. Also have a original Brackenbury quiver I made into a sling type quiver. Seen Fred Asbell is making them almost to a copy of the one I made. Talked to Michael Waddell a year or so ago about how he was attaching his quiver on his side/back and it really wasn't anything fancy for sure but it works for him, but not for me. But anywho the Alpine works just about the best for me. I just have the quiver attachment on my bow and the belt attachment and can switch with a snap to either one that fits what I doing at the time. Oh yes, I have the tree stand screw in quiver attachment for the Alpine also. I have a 3 arrow and 2, 5 arrow quivers from Alpine............and a kwikee, and a bear and on and on, Yikes!
