Are hip or back quivers better for hunting because of the torque and weight that attachable quivers add to a bow? I don't care whether attachable quivers are removable or not, because I wouldnt remove it while hunting anyways.

A lot is going to depend upon where and how you're hunting. If you're doing spot & stalk and there's thick brush, hip quivers can be a pain in the butt, gettin tangled in brush. In that case, a back quiver works better, but then if you're carrying a day pack, then unless you get a combination pack/quiver you're screwed too!

If you treestand hunt a lot, or carry a day pack, a hip quiver can be the better deal.

I do a fair amount of spot & stalk in thick brush, AND usually wear a daypack. So for me, I still use a three arrow, detachable, bow mounted quiver. The one thing I've done is I practice ALL the time with my bow with the quiver mounted.

My sight has a bubble level and when I'm practicing, I take care to make sure the bow isn't being canted by the quiver. I take care to notice how the bow feels when I know it's vertical.

Now, when I shoot in a hunting situation, I know how the bow feels and it's totally natural to shoot with the quiver on.

No fuss, no muss, no bother and no problems with carrying a backpack and manuevering through brush.

I mostly hunt out of treestands, but I would like to do some "spot & stalk" also. So from what you've said I should go with a hip quiver.

I will also continue to practice with my quiver on, but it may be a good idea for me to get a sight with a level on it.

Any suggestions on a hip quiver?

Thanks,

Man, there's a lot of good ones out there. The problem is, what I think is comfortable, you might hate.

My suggestion would be to check out several different archery pro shops and see what different models are available.

The thing to make certain of is that you get a "broadhead" type hip quiver. There are a lot of quivers for 3-D target shooting, and that's NOT what you want. You want one that holds each arrow individually.

Something like this is what you're looking for.

I looked around and I was thinking of something more along the lines of this:

Hip Quiver

What do you think?

No. Those PSE hip quivers are for 3D, not appropriate for hunting.
I use one like the Cabela's hip quiver: Cabela's Hip Quiver Item:QZ-414477.
I use a clip to slide it onto my belt, so that I am not forever undoing my belt buckle.
Lately, I have been using a como cover over the fletching.

Dal's right. The quiver you picked is for carrying field point tipped arrows. You need something that carries broadheads.

The quiver I linked to earlier is one of those that holds each arrow individually and will carry broadheads securely.

Here's one you can order from Cabela's.

I think I found a much better idea. It's a hip quiver that you can lock an alpine soft-loc quiver onto, I cant remember where I found it but I'll look again.

It requires the purchase of the hip quiver and the soft-loc quiver so its kind of expensive, but it looks very cool.

Aha! Here it is.

Quiver

Yep, that'll work.
