Looking to get a new quiver for indoor and 3d. Seems like most are using field quivers. From what I can find there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of options to choose from in this department. Looking at the Easton Deluxe and Elite quivers, the Elevation Nerve quiver, and possibly the Legend xt420 quiver. Hopefully some of you have had a chance to compare some of these. If there's others that I should be looking at please let me know what you like and if there's any thing in particular you do or don't like about them, that would be great to hear.

I have a Tec One field quiver I use for target, and a Hoyt Outfitter field quiver I use for 3d, Love them both, after using the 3 tube forward type, I'll never go back to them after using the field quivers

Of those you mentioned, I actually like the Legend XT420 (or the nearly identical Avalon Tec One field quiver) the best. As an added bonus it is also the cheapest of the bunch.

The Easton quivers I've owned were annoying in the way that the bottom of the quiver is too narrow which makes arrows fit rather tight. Couldn't just drop the arrow in, had to force it in there. Defective? Maybe, didn't care to give them a third chance.

I've never owned the Elevation Nerve, but other guys I shoot with do. The quiver is angled more than others, their arrows often end up in my shooting lane.

I use Angel quivers now, but the Avalon Tec One / Legend XT420 was my favorite quiver before that. Easy in/out of arrows, spacious pocket, and the angle in which arrows are held is a bit more upright than most.

I have the Elevation Nerve, and a Avalon Tec-X...


The Avalon is nice, with 4 arrow divisions, pockets are decent but a little smalland it rides nice on the hip for me. I don't care for the belt, which has snaps for adjustments, and I keep catching the end of the adjustment straps and undoing the first snaps; might flip it and put them to the inside, just haven't tried it yet.

The Nerve pockets feel a little bigger to me for the most part, more useable for what I typically carry. The belt is wider and stiffer [I don't use this one as often for reasons below], and is a velcro adjustment. The Nerve has three arrow compartments, and IIRC carbon bits of bling in the arrow tube. I bought the pack which included the release pouch, but it's a bit constrictive even for my small hands and I was disappointed that the pouch color doesn't match the quiver color scheme... This is my international competition quiver- red, white, and blue... with a gray/black pouch.

The Avalon I got through Lancaster about a year ago, still listed on their website:

Personally I don't care for field quivers. Indoors on the line with other people the arrows tend to poke the person next to you more often than a standard hip quiver.
With that being said I use quivers from Neet. In 40+ years I have only owned two quivers. Both from Neet and both were leather.

I am not a big fan of the backward facing quivers. But at the same time, you need them for indoors because of how crowded it is on the line.
I still prefer my normal quiver that faces forward. It is a lot easier to put in or take out arrows. You can see which arrow you are pulling out when shooting field matches and more pockets. There is also more room for your arrows.

Which do you prefer between the two?
