Quivers: Bow-Mounted, Hip, Back
Where you carry arrows changes how quiet you are and how fast you can nock a second. Bow-mounted is the default for compound hunters; hip is standard for spot-and-stalk elk and Western hunts; back quivers are traditional and a few Western sheep hunters.
The main options
Bow-mounted: Tight Spot Rise 5-Arrow
MSRP USD 170 to 210. Detachable, adjustable rotation, the current standard bow quiver. Complaint on Archery Talk: torques the bow if the offset is not dialed. Set the quiver so the arrow stack sits over the grip centerline, not the sight.
Bow-mounted: Trophy Ridge Static 5-Arrow
MSRP USD 40 to 70. The value pick. Rubber gripper holds broadheads, not as adjustable as the Tight Spot, plenty for a treestand hunter.
Hip: Selway Slide-On, Alaska Bowhunting Supply
MSRP USD 80 to 150. Preferred for spot-and-stalk elk and mountain hunts. Quiver stays out of the way when the bow is drawn. Complaint: exposed fletching to brush and rain.
Back: Selway Recurve, Neet Traditional
MSRP USD 60 to 120. Traditional recurve and longbow choice. Slowest to reload, quietest when moving. Not a compound hunter’s choice.
What bowhunters say
Rokslide elk hunters split evenly between bow-mounted Tight Spot and hip Selway. Whitetail treestand shooters run bow-mounted Tight Spot or Trophy Ridge Static almost universally.
