Have not been a fan of bow quivers since switching to traditional bows In 2012, but I acquired this 3 arrow thunderhorn boa in a bow trade deal.I decided to try it on my Kodiak Magnum that I am turkey hunting with . I really like how it feels on the bow and how much more stable the bow seems. Also quieted the bow down even more, it was already quiet, now its just a faint thump and a swish.

Wouldn't let me post the picture, but I guess most know what a thunderhorn boa looks like anyway.

ken', it added mass, so yes, that correlates to enhanced stability through inertia. That said, it can cause problems too, so just be mindful to hold the bow the same way on each shot.

The more you shoot with one the more natural it will feel. I hated my Great Northern when I first got it, but now it is just perfect on my bow!

Yeah, I can't shoot my Dryad longbow without one now! Always used hip quivers even with compounds. I can still shoot my recurve without one and that doesn't make sense since my Dryad has a recurve style riser

ken, I have always been a fan of bow quivers. I see many photos on this site and others with bow quivers that are installed way too far into the working part of the limb. you need to make sure they are installed far enough past the ends of the fades, and into the riser.
I have done some testing with a chrono as well as point of impact and overall tune. I have never had a bow quiver that was installed properly affect my arrow speed, flight or tuning.
individual experiences can and do vary.
best of luck.

Raptor I do believe in bare shaft tuning because there are some sharp people on this forum who do it successfully. I don't because my form is not good enough to get accurate results from it. I did try this quiver on my longbow however and noticed it affected the arrow flight a little. I have not noticed any change in arrow flight on my k-mag , however

That is a good point elkhuntr, I thought about that and pushed both end of the quiver as far up the fades as I could.

I keep trying other quivers but just so used to the bow quiver on a long, think I'm stuck with them. Could be worse.

I've been using bow quivers for at least 30 years. I agree with Elkhuntr.

Put on the bow where they belong and they are great. I use them on my short bows as well...Here is on on my short Browning. You will see the attachment is well up on the fadeout area.

I've used bowquivers off & on, lately though I've quit using them. They make the bow unbalanced for me. Others might like them,,,, & what the hey Fred used them all the time..... grin grin
