For the bow-mounted models, I mounted them on my bows to study their profiles and effect on balance, and I took shots to listen for any noise caused by vibrating parts-the coal-mine canary of bad bow quivers.Ĭombining that knowledge and testing, I came up with the following picks for best hunting quivers in the following categories: I put arrows in the grippers and broadheads in the hoods to see how they hold. But in trying to find the best hunting quivers for this article, I took some extra steps to test nearly two dozen quivers. I get the chance to see, touch, and feel all of these quivers as they arrive in inventory, so I know them all pretty well. Lancaster Archery Supply carries just about every hunting quiver on the market-certainly all the major players in the game. So what do you want in a quiver? You want one that holds your arrows firmly in place, protects you from your broadheads, stays quiet, doesn’t stick out awkwardly, and, of course, looks cool. They don’t always pay attention to the working parts of the quiver that earn its keep when the heat is on. That’s all it does.Īnd often times, bowhunters simply look for the cheapest quiver they can find, or one that best matches their bow to complete a killer look. The job of the quiver is pretty simple: carry arrows.

Usually, the material is pliable when you apply it, then cures into the shape you want after some period.įor a full list of products that can help you get the grip you want, click here.The arrow quiver is one of those pieces of gear that bowhunters generally don’t think about too much. You can add this material to your grip to build it up in specific areas to fit your hand. One way to customize any grip you have is to use moldable putty, rubber or glue. It’s great for keeping your hand from sliding when it’s wet or hot and humid, but without the bulk that can be added by using the wrap-around grip tape mentioned previously. This tape usually comes in strips, so you can put a single strip on the face of a grip, where your hand sits.

Grip tape is what many archers put on their bows after theyremove a grip to shoot off the riser.Īnother common tape is traction tape, which has a gritty feel, kind of like sandpaper.

It’s soft, warm and keeps your handfrom sliding. Sometimes a grip issue can be fixed simply with grip tape.The most common tape is similar to what you’d find wrapped around a tennisracket or the handle of a baseball bat. These are popular among Olympic recurve and barebow recurve archers. If you want a grip that fits your hand specifically, there are manufacturers who will make custom grips. Viewed from the side, a low grip will be the most vertical, while the high grip will have the greatest angle away from vertical, and the medium will be in the middle. These refer to the wrist position, with a low grip requiring the most bend in your wrist and the high grip requiring the least bend. You will find many of these grips offered in low, medium and high varieties.

These are all issues that aftermarket grip manufacturers try to alleviate with their grips, and they might have just what you’re looking to put on your bow. Too wide, too thin, too much angle, not enough angle, soft edge, hard edge. Usually, these aftermarket grips are made to correct common complaints archers have about the stock grip on a particular bow. There are many companies that make grips for different bows. Understand that when you remove a grip, you’re going to extend your draw length a bit. Often times, the riser underneath a grip is flat and smooth and has a nice angle that fits how you like to position your wrist. This is going to be more for compound archers than recurve, butit’s a simple move that many target archers do when a grip doesn’t feel right. Perhaps the simplest fix is to remove the grip and shoot offthe bare riser. If you find a bow that you like, but it’s got a grip thatdoesn’t suit you, there are lots of potential fixes on the market for bothcompound and recurve bows. And no, you don’t just “have to get usedto it.” “Man, I love this bow, but I just can’t get comfortable with this grip!”
