Does the 2 piece only work on the new bows with the new roller guard or can you also mount the lower gripper to the normal triangle hole in the riser?
I was told the lower gripper can be installed on the cable guard arm or the lower attachment point on the bow. I will verify when I get the quiver in hand.

Okay, the quiver is really nice, but it also sucks too. No, it DOES NOT come with the lower attachment point like all had hoped. It ONLY attaches to the cable roller arm for the gripper attachment to the bow. That part sucks. I also have an issue with my upper attachment hole. When I put the triangle piece in place and torque it down, then attach the hood and torque it down, I can still move the hood up and down 1/2" due to the part that is installed in the riser moving back and forth inside the riser itself. Probably never move once I put arrows in it, which I did put three in and it seemed pretty solid, but still sucks. Might have to give PSE a call on that though.

Now that I've said that, let's talk about the overall design. Really LOVE how light it is, feels like a feather in your hand, but solid on the bow. Arrow spacing is adequate, and the grippers hold the arrows very well. Hood is adjustable up and down, so you can get it right to the top edge of the cam on my Mach 30, or below the limb if you like. Having the gripper on the roller guard arm makes pushing an arrow into the gripper very solid, same goes for pulling an arrow out, feels like a rock and makes it easy to do.

The quiver sits back further on the bow than most any quiver I've run so far and I sorta like it. Leaves you total access to the sight, so if you are running a slider or adjustable sight, you will have total access with nothing in the way. The amount of arrow going past the gripper is not ideal and when I bang on the riser, all the arrows shake like I don't like them to do, I prefer the gripper to be further down the bow so you don't get that vibration.

Overall I like the quiver a lot. I think it is a little pricey but it is solid (except for my riser part being loose), and well designed. With just a little bit more thought on their part, the thing could have been a home run. But overall, it's a very nice, light, solid quiver. Here are a few pics of it on my Mach 30.

First off, thanks for the honest review of the new 2-piece. I had a lot of the same questions/reservations about the quiver. I have already committed to ordering one that will come with my Mach 30 when it's here.

1. Vibration- Any notable rattling or noise when shooting with the quiver on? (I've used a Quivalizer for several years on my Mach 1 and Inline 3...hoping this quiver is solid)

2. I too thought about using that armrest/stabilizer to also try shaving weight while making it more comfortable to hike the elk mtns with...how are you liking it?

3. the additional pic mount below your stab...is that for putting your GoPro or tactacam on, I'm guessing?


Thanks in advance for the feedback. The bow looks sharp!!
 
Super 91, Thanks for being the guinea pig on the PSE 2 piece.
First glance, it appears the arrows are not perpendicular to the hood and are coming out at an angle. It may just be the pic.
I mounted a Tight Spot bracket to the riser holes on my Mach 30 and can get the quiver carbon rods to touch the roller guard bar when attaching the quiver. Very balanced set up.
The arrows on the TS run parallel to the string when viewed from behind the bow while it appears by the pics that your arrows are pushed further out by the gripper on the roller guard bar.
The only negative of the TS is the weight compared to the PSE 2 piece.
Again, thanks for the review. (y)
 
I have one coming with my bow when it gets here ...very disappointed the gripper does not come
with bracket mount for lower hole in riser !!! why is there a hole in the riser down there ? might be over kill
but I wouldn't mind two grippers , my arrows are very expensive, so having them very secure while
I am going through thick nasty stuff for miles might be great ...I already made plans to have mine dipped
and because of the pattern ,I had to ask for favors and pull strings .... but I definitely want the gripper lower

Thanks Super 91 ...please let me know what you find out , also any remedies for tightening up what
ever is installed into the riser "bushing insert" that is unacceptable to me

I am guessing they ditched the lower mount for weight savings ..but these lower gripper brackets
must have been made , I think I seen pictures before of them ...
 
Thanks a ton for posting the comments and the pictures so incredibly helpful! We each have different wants from our equipment and so hard with these not in stores to know what to get. I also ran a tightspot bracket straight off the Mach 30 riser (had to shim it) and the adjustability of the shiftlock is great and have the new airlock on the bow now, had this 2pc quiver been available likely would’ve gone that route for the custom fit. Thanks again and good luck!

1. I did take the time to shoot yesterday, so I will update that info once I get the chance to shoot some, so I only know that for now, when I bump the riser with my hand, the arrows vibrate quite a bit more than I'm used to with a quiver with a lower attachment point.

2. Love the stabilizer. It took a little getting used to, but so far on my short whitetail hunts, I have found a number of ways to carry the bow with this stabilizer and so far really like the features.

3. Yes, I have a Tactacam 6.0 and had it mounted there, but I actually plan to chop a Tactacam pic mount up and make it fit in the lower stabilizer hole so it will be a little more in-line so the whole setup will lay in my bow case better, but this worked for what I wanted for my local whitetail hunts this past season.
 
So thats what the threaded holes on the roller guard are for.?
