Any recommendations on an affordable detachable quiver for a lift x 29.5? Looking for a quiver with double grippers because I don’t want to deal with foam breaking down over time. Want to keep it under $150

I love my Tightspot 5 but it's $9 over budget..............lol. I have seen them on Ebay for less. It was the first more expensive quiver I have bought. Before that I use the old PSE quivers they worked fine to. I always take my quiver off when I'm in a tree and only hunt with it on when I stalk and that's not nearly as often.

My point is you want to make sure it's quiet IF you plane to shoot with it on the bow. So pay attention to the way they attach etc if that's an issue.

I too prefer double grippers and no foam in the quiver head. Although I've tried a few of the low profile quivers, I want an easy on/off design as I want it off while hunting. For those reasons, I have used the G5 Headlock quiver for the past several years. I have 4 of them, as I keep different arrow setups during season and just grab the one I want to suit the situation. 3 of the 4 were purchased used here on AT and I don't think I have $150 in the whole gig.

I've used G5, Trophy Ridge Hex Light, etc.,..., Bought on marketplace here for around $40.00 if I remember right. Works great to guide me into a stand in the dark or back to the truck in the dark.

I got a 7 arrow tightspot on here for around 100.00

Also treelimb makes some of the best quivers

I've been using the G5 Head-Loc 6-arrow quiver for several years and like its double grippers and the generally robust build. I also like the quiver attach/detach design, allowing quiver rotation/tilt adjustments as well as height adjustment and the attachment post is rubber coated to help absorb vibes and contribute to its overall quietness in use. The only thing I don't like is the lack of noise dampening inside the hood, so I use moleskin to line the inside so broadheads don't make direct contact with the "plastic" hood material when loading or unloading arrows and this has made it almost dead quiet. Since I use long single-bevel broadheads, I wish the sides of the hood were longer (so the edges aren't as exposed), but that's not been an issue that makes me not want to use it. It's also $50 new, at least at Sportsman's Warehouse. Another plus is it's made the the USA.

Check out the Alpine Archery Waypoint quiver, definitely in budget. I got a tightspot quiver but it was way to heavy so I resold it and got an Alpine archery powerlock quiver, because I like the single gripper/foam. The Waypoint has the double gripper, no foam just like you are looking for. It is very minimalist and lightweight. The big advantage it has over other cheaper quivers is that the attachment method is very solid, quiet, and dampens vibration from the bow before it transfers to your arrows/quiver.

G5 quiver. Cheap, light, quiet. For treestand hunting it’s perfect. Maybe if I was hunting outwest or some bad terrain I’d want a better one but I walked through some thick public land and had no issues last season with it. I sold my tight spot and bought a couple more of them.

Apex reactor xl.
It is very similar to tight spot quivers.
Double grippers, no foam holds 5.
I have 1 on all 3 of my bows

Get what make you comfortable for weight and balance. Some bow shops have several brands you can mount and try out in the store. Some may even have loaners, if you are a good customer.

Each person will tell you their choice but it all comes down to your preference.

You can find a used Tight Spot for under $100. For about $75 new look at the Apex Reactor XL. It's similiar to the TS quivers.

If your tree stand hunting, and take your quiver off the G5 or anything cheap that holds arrows. Now if you leave it on all the time then I would definitely go the more expensive route ,and get a tight spot or something similar. I'd definitely spend a little more money on that route.
