Agreed ... a quiver on a crossbow always seems to be in the way. It's like hanging a quiver on your muzzleloader. PITA. I use two 5 arrow Tarantulas for the last 5 years. I clip them to my backpack with a small carabineer ... or if I have to walk & shoot, I clip the carabineer to my belt. Works fine.

 

I never put a quiver on my crossbows. Like pinshooter i havemy quiver setup on my pack fer past 10 yrs n like it out of my way

 

Nice Pin. I hated quivers on my verticals and I hate them on a crossbow.

 

I have them on my packs as well. Best move I ever made.

 

Not me. My quivers are integral parts of my crossbows and I never even think about them plus my 3 arrows are ALWAYS in the same place at my finger tips. Fiddle farting with taking quivers off putting them back on, reaching around to find an arrow that is hanging around the stand somewhere..................... This is the only one that I'm forced to carry a separate quiver I shoot everyday, even when hunting. I pick up my crossbow in the middle of the day to go shoot a few and I don't have to go get an arrow out of the quiver that's somewhere else. Just not logical to me but we all have different boats :wink:

 

I don't think I will go back to mounting one myself I always took my quiver off while in the stand and tied it to something so this is going to work great for me Backpack already within my reach on the stand.

 

hunlee does not take backpack out when hunting in Michigan so whats is hunlee to do ??????????????????????????????????????????????????
Quiver for holding SPLINTERS is a must so hunlee must do some figureings !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what yous think hunlee should do with quiver with no back pack to hangs um on as hunlee hates quiver on xbows aswell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the quiver is very un important to me becauase it is the first thing to come off the bow when my fanny touches the seat on the treetand.

getting arrows to and from the stand is all its purpose is in life. Unless arrows fall out or its hard to get off the bow theres not much more thought to put into it...I.M.O

i get the quiver off the bow A.S.A.P. l learned this in the compound bow days. One more thing to alter the shot, hang up on a branchs or add to vibration weight etc.

When you think about this, it really silly keeping a quiver on your bow as its not to likely you will get another quick shot

not like we are shooting a compound bow here, crossbows are loud and hard to draw in a treestand.....:wink: I would love to see some draw a matrix in a ladder stand........:mg:

The problem with carrying a pack is that it can be one more item to stink up your area.....?

 

Funny how logical thinking folks come to completely different "logical" reasons for doing what they do

 

i actually might be able to draw that 380 in my ladder stand...........................:zip:

 

I just installed a Munch Mount on my Micro. It balances the bow better, does not get in the way of my rail on my stand, the bow carries better with the shoulder strap, it also helps protect the scope if the bow was to fall on the top side if you had it leaning on something. The only thing negative is it doesn't look as cool as the quivers stock location. It has too many pluses to care about that.

 

I normally cock my bow on the ground but take my 3 arrow top-mounted quiver off once in the ladder. Last season I left it on when I shot a buck (too dark to remove it when I settled in, I guess), then cocked the bow (Mission 320) while in the stand, with the quiver on, just to see if could be done. It was in the way, affecting the draw, got it done but bent my arrow retention spring as a result. Lesson learned

 

Imagine. This group having a difference of opinion. Thanks for something else to think about, Pin. Hope things are going better for you.

 

I have a Munch mount ordered for mine. If not I use either the Bohning Top Mount or a Danny Miller mount. I don't like the arrows under the bow at all.

 

Here is a Hornhunter pack that has a quiver attached. I also have one from Academy that is nice, but probably not as nice as the Hornhunter. I like it since we hunt out of ladderstands I just clip it to the rail. All of our gear and arrows are within hands reach.

I like that one cspot. Joe, things are a little better right now just keep us in your prayers please.

 

Putting the quiver on the bottom side of s crossbow is a poor idea. You guys should look at the Bohning topside mount. Todd Bromley from CBM developed this design and Bohning markets it. It is light weight and is about as good as it gets IMO. 20 BUCKS. give it a look.

 

I like the bohning top mount, have used it on several bows and it works well but for ME I don't like it on the heavy poundage recurves because I tend to yank on them more and hit my hands from time to time lol Most other bows I don't. It is a good design.

 

I love having the quiver on a backpack. I didn't do that this fall though because this was my first year carrying a treeStand on my back. I wasn't sure how the arrows would do back there. I don't have as much control, or can see as well back there when walking thru the woods. I didn't want to risk hanging my arrows up on limbs.

Next year I'll be trying to move the quiver back to the pack.

 

I've always been one to hang my quiver up out of my way but it probably cost me a deer this year. I had shot at a pretty nice buck and hit a small limb and it sent the arrow way over him. He took off and I thought it was gone but just a few seconds later I see him coming back through the brush. I was able to get my bow cocked again but my arrows were hanging on a small limb behind me. Before I could reach around and get one he was only a few yards from me. I was only 12 feet up and couldn't move. I think if I would have had one right at my finger tips I could have got reloaded in time.

I know it's rare to get a second chance like that but it has got me to thinking about keeping my quiver on my bow.

 

you can almost never out think the situation............thats for sure

 

I have the Horn Hunter pack its the berries. This year i flip flopped and put my quivers on my bows. I never take them off hunting but there on top i wouldn't have one under the bow one sec.
The way i hunt its just less movement slipping in and out. i've learned im better off with my pac on the ground tied to a 2nd bow rope. If i need it i pull it up if i don't 99% of the time it just sets there.
After the hunt its so easy to put the arrow in the quiver on the bow. Let it down reload or uncock depending on the time of day. Put my pack on and slip out. Its just fewer steps less time and movement.
And less in the tree to mess with. Now ground hunting i take it off the ground is such a handy place to lay things .

 

I have the Horn Hunter pack its the berries.

OK, this site is really costing me $$. I am finding out I (need) much more equipment! :teeth:

 

Only time I mount aquiver to my crossbow......at home, so when I leave I won't forget my splinters. other than that I hang it on the tree behind me.

 

Thats what I would do but since I never forget my backpack I will now keep them with my bow, mount them to my backpack and my backpack hangs right beside the tree. Of course our season is over and just like me to do it after the season closes lol

 

I also take my quiver off when hunting. A topside mount by any of the brands like Bohning, munch, Wyvern, or Danny Miller are the ticket when enroute and back though.

 

I want a hat mounted quiver bracket.....my darts would always be right there on top of my head

 

If your head is full of air like mine that would be a great idea.....would be hardly any weight....just be floating up there

 

The quiver that came on my micro is real heavy and I have it on a munch mount . It doesn't seem to matter when free hand shooting because the micro balances very nice. There isn't much weight hanging out way past my left hand. All the weight seems to be above it and behind it. My Stryker 350 is lighter but I can't hold it steady for too long free handed. My Stryker has more weight out front with the quiver on it.
