Tight spot quiver worth the $$$

Always shot cheaper quivers and never end up liking them that much. Are the Tight Spot quivers worth the money in the eyes of people that have used them?

Yes I change arrows frequently throughout the year. There is no other quiver out there that I know of where I can adjust the grippers to my liking and and hold 3 different size arrows securely. If your not in a hurry order from s&sarchery use code AT and get it for 135 shipped.

In my opinion, yes. It has a lot of adjustments and it is dead quiet on the bow. Holds arrows, all hunting sizes, very, very tight.

I've been using bow mounted quivers for close to 50 years so I have a bit of experience.

Never owned a tight spot, but just bought an apex reactor xl and is a lot better than others that i have owned. It was $70 and even at that price it was a little hard to swallow, there was no way I was going to spend almost $150 for a tight spot.

Yeah man. They last forever and are really adjustable to whatever size arrow you put in there. Also adjust to fit almost any bow. I'd say get a solid color top so it works with whatever bows you get in the future.

That said, my wife has a two piece trophy ridge on her rig and have been surprised with how nice and adjustable that thing is for 1/2 the price.

I think the Apex Reactor XL is pretty comparable for less than half the cost; I am very happy with mine.

I've had one for 3 years now. I don't think I would buy another.

Pro's- Very adjustable, fits tight to bow

Cons- The hood on mine rattles and vibrates like crazy, not enough room in hood for 5 manly broadheads. I just spent an extra $20 on a 2nd arrow gripper to make it usable while hunting-for the original cost it should be included.

Most people love theirs, maybe I just got a lemon. I've compared mine to others hoping the vibration was a setup issue but everything seems the same.

Depends on the bow for me.
Bows are becoming so ridiculously wide, the tight spot can't serve its purpose without the hood hitting the limb on the draw.

May as well use a conventional style imo.

I’m probably the odd one out here. Bought one last year and tried to make it work for a few weeks. Thought it was noisy and one of the most overrated and overpriced pos items I ever bought for archery and I’ve bought a few stupid things. Took it back for a full refund.

Many here like them, I used one as did everyone in the group I hunt with for a period of time. I did not like mine almost instantly. I hated the fact it looks like an after market add on ( which I know it is) were a lot are more compact and look like they belong there. We found early on they would not fit in Lakewood bow cases without removing them. Which is a pain in the rear when pig hunting as we stalk, get back in side by side move to new area a lot. And every time to put it in the case and take it out we had to put it on, then remove them. A couple guys had the epoxy where they are glued crack and start rattling. And two guys( and I still see it in camp to this day from time to time) had the screws brake and strip on there sight ( why I won’t mount my quiver mounted to my sight). They are kinda bulky compared to some also. We have all parted ways except one guy, and he may have by now. I know he was thinking about it, but didn’t have the money to buy new one. None of us sit in a stand or blind of any kind, spot a stalk only. And we all hunt with our quivers on, most never remove them from our bows. Just consider how you want to use it, before buying on. For most guys they work great.

I remember there was thread after thread about how great they were when I was shopping for a new quiver a few years ago. I bought into the hype and picked up the 3-arrow version at my local pro shop for north of $150. I would say it’s definitely not worth that price. I had trouble with standard diameter arrows loosening up and buzzing. My new Axis 5mm don’t seem to have that problem luckily.

Other than the buzzing it’s fine, but not $150+ fine. Maybe if you find one for like $50-$70 and it doesn’t make noise with your setup it could be worth it, if for nothing else the warranty is supposedly really good.

To be honest, I generally remove my quiver when shooting and tree stand hunting. The majority of the time I am in a tree stand. I use white fletchings and feel like it’s one more thing for a deer to see when moving my bow around or drawing back. I feel some quivers don’t offer enough room for bigger fixed blades, some are somewhat noisy when locking arrows back in, and some are clumsy when taking off/on the bow. So if there’s one that solves all those problems for a decent price, it’s what I need! Ha.
