I always used a cheap kwikee quiver and mostly strapped it to my pack.
I want to invest in a good detachable quiver for a recurve. something that removes easily and looks good. There are no mounting holes on the bow
I haven't made up my mind yet if I'm shooting carbon or wood arrows this year.
Is it possible to get a quiver that would work good for either considering the shaft diameter?
I'd consider a plastic broadhead cover but I'd paint it brown if it isn't already. I'm kinda funny about stuff like that. If its a good looking bow I want good looking arrows and quiver to match..LOL hey did I just make up my mind to shoot woodies?
anyway quiet is a must.

If you don't want to bolt/screw it on or a fixture to hold it, probably need to go to a strap on with a metal rod joining the hood and gripper section. Great Northern, Eagle's Flite, Thunderhorn and now maybe even Selway offers one. There are probably others as well.

Putting large diameter woods in a Great Northern quiver will stretch it a bit. Mine are 23/64ths. I then put GT trads, which are 20/64ths in the same quiver and the arrows fell out while I was shooting. If you're undecided about which arrow to shoot you might want to buy 2 different grippers. MP

I HIGHLY recommend Great Northern bow quivers. Pick whatever model suits your needs and enjoy. Great guy to work with too!

Great Northern makes a great product. Just order new grippers if need be

I never meant to imply that GN quivers had anything wrong with them. In fact I own 4 of them and prefer them over all others. I just felt I should tell the OP that if he uses fat wood shafts first, then switches to GTs, the carbons may not be held tight by the gripper.

Okay, call me immature but I laugh and giggle every time I read or write Big Jim's Strap on. Now that I have that out of my system, I own a Big Jim's, EFA, and a Kanati slim Jim. For a 2 blade the kanati is hands down a better system, for a 3 blades I like the big Jim for my wide limbs, and the EFA for the thinner limb bows. I have no experience with the great northern quiver.I wish I could find adjustable kanati 4 arrow. I know that this is just my opinions I hope that you find what works for you.

After trying several different bow quivers over the years, I've settled on the GN as the best. Let me tell you why.
They are quiet, soak up vibration-hand shock, add a little weight if you're shooting a light bow, are easy on and off, have the steel rod attaching both ends together so you are not pushing the hood around when taking arrows in and out frequently, as when stump shooting, and you can buy 3 different size grippers to accommodate any arrows. Also the gripper is wide enough so you can space fletching not to touch so you don't get that buzz when you shoot. Hood rubber lasts forever too.

I have used great northern and select quivers, and have went to using great northerns for the most part. However I did put a tight spot on my metal bow and that setup is getting ready to go elk hunting with me.

Another GN fan, buy a Xtra gripper for wood or carbon. The straps last for along time and stay put.

I have several Great Northern bow quivers - different styles and for my son and I - and a few other quivers that work with or without holes. Each one has it's strengths and weaknesses. The GN quivers are light and won't mar the finish on the bow. You can buy grippers from GN for carbons that are easy to swap out. This year I'm planning on using two bows - a 1966 Shakespeare Kaibab and a 1969 Kaibab. On the 66 I'm using a GN quiver with carbons. On the 69 I"m using an old Bear Leathertop 4 arrow quiver with spring arms and a new gripper that works with carbons. That particular quiver is solid and quiet as a mouse. The GN quivers do have a little bounce to them when you release the arrow.
