Anyone running a tight spot quiver on their recurve or longbow? I've got a new machined riser coming and really like the adjustability of them. But wow they are pricey! I always shoot with a quiver so I was thinking the adjustability would be worth it. I see some guys like longbowdan shoot it

Not to me, but you all know I'm cheap. A quiver carries arrows, that's all, and it's balance that I'm concerned with most, not adjustability. That said, you should really buy what you want to buy, regardless of what someone else says....including me. You may love it...you may not.

I understand that George but considering the cost of one I'd like to hear if someone tried one and found it was noisy or had a ton of vibration. The adjustability I'm speaking of is directly related to balance.

I have one on a VPA riser with Uukha limbs. Its a great quiver. I searched for a while before I settled on the tightspot, and couldn't be happier. Its tucks in nice and tight as advertised and is stable and very quiet. No noticeable vibration to me.

Thanks Casey. May I ask where you bought yours?

Local archery shop. I was able to try it on my bow before buying it. I could have gotten it cheaper on line, but the fact that they let me try it out on my bow was worth the extra I paid. Oh, and not having to wait for it to arrive. I've had it on my bow for over a year now.

I really dont like the feel of the ILF bow, with all its metal and plastic, but the honest truth is that its a precision killing machine that is built like a tank. So for that alone, I keep it around. My wood bows use either a Kwikee or a Great Northern, but arent close to a tight fitting package like my ILF rig.

I can agree there I'm kinda new to ilf I had a satori and traded it before I had time to play with it much (offered a trade I couldn't refuse) and what little I shot it I really enjoyed it. I had a dryad/centaur combo that I pieced together that was too short for my liking. And I wanted a machined riser for options like bolt on quiver, rests, and stabilizer. I run a big jims quiver on my longbows and recurves

Satori is next on my "Want to try" List. Need to find a 17" Buckskin.

I have to sav I find this trendy new verb "running" used in reference to equipment use and preferences irksome.

Cecil thanks for commenting about how my use of word is "irksome" to you...appreciate the information...always amazes me how guys jump in a thread to just share their personal displeasure about something like a word and how it's used against your personal wishes...good grief

I've got one on my Tempest. Great because you can adjust the balance. L an R plus Up and down.

I did have some trouble with noise. They're built for tiny, tiny compound broadheads and I putting a man's 160 Snuffer in it. Tight Spot sent me some foam to replace what was in it to start.

Bowmania

you're welcome :)

So you spend $144.00 for a quiver you have to adapt to fit standard broadheads? Okay....that makes sense now. Yessir, I'm from a different planet.

It really amazes me the negativity of some. If you don't own or have ever tried the product why even give your input? You don't have any clue. I clicked on this because I to am wondering about this quiver, but the posts above are why I don't ask 1/2 the time. Thank you to those who shared their experiences.

Negativity on one item doesn't declare a person negative. If folks don't want all opinions, then you should mark your thread 'debate free'. If your skin is that thin, then I guess debate isn't for you. You calling someone negative when you really don't know them is.....well, negative.

OP started his thread by asking "Anyone running a tight spot quiver on their recurve or longbow?"

Why anyone would take the time to comment without any kind of experience with this quiver OR at least have second hand knowledge of one is interesting...or comment on the cost if they can't afford one or refuse to pay that price?? Again, NOT what the OP was asking..debate free or not. I don't get it.

I don't own one but several of my compound buddies who do...they have nothing but good things to say about them.

Fuzzy's response is well...a head scratcher..

All I can say is "you damn kids stay off my lawn!!..."

I had one never did get it as quiet as a alphine soft lock.

Thanks for the information pertinent to my post everyone. It's appreciated

I think they are great. I had one on a compound and swapped it to my 19" ILF riser and am very happy with it. It offers a ton of adjustability and fine tuning for balance....a great quiver for guys who like testing and tinkering (also great quiver for those guys who like to set it and forget it too). They are pricey compared to a kwikee quiver but a kwikee quiver can't touch it in terms of adjustments.

Holy cow, after seeing George's comment on the price, I had to check for myself. I paid under $100 for mine, and I thought that was more than the going rate at the time. Either prices have gone up significantly from when I got mine, or I forgot what I paid for mine.

I'm really happy with mine either way. As for the broadheads, I'll let you know how they fit tomorrow. I'm getting it ready for a pig hunt with 150gr VPA 3 blades.

I don't like the Tightsot, at all. They are noisy and do have a lot of vibration, especially on a stick bow. They don't balance very good, and causes the bow to want to twist in your grip. They don't sit very close to a riser. Because of how they mount, they don't give very much support to the bottom of the quiver, and they are heavy.

Depending on your riser, a two piece quiver might be a better choice. I'm very picky on my quivers, and will modify or have parts made to allow me to anchor a quiver in two places on the riser. And a two piece quiver is lighter and can be modified to sit closer to the riser to help reduce torque.

Very adjustable.

I've been "running" a five arrow model on my Satori riser for a while. I like it fine. Only negatives I see are, I have to tighten it often and it took the paint off the riser.

I bought one new on ebay and another I bought off a friend.

I have a 3 arrow one. Can't remember what I didn't like about it. It's in the pile

Jim, I put rubber washers and nylon washers under the screws and bushings on my quivers, don't like metal to metal contact. Plus, it keeps the finish from coming off the riser, unless it's a bad finish job to start with...

Buglmin, you basically said the compete opposite of what I said lol.

No it's not a set and forget. I remember that much. Seems okay on my Hoyt Compound that I shot 2 years ago but there's a lot of moving parts on that mess.

Love mine!

Another pic

I'm with Buglmin. "They don't balance very good, and causes the bow to want to twist in your grip. They don't sit very close to a riser.”

I had the same problem with my great northern as well. Too much leverage with the weight back of the mounting points.

Ive found the thunderhorns, selways, eagles flights, and big Jim quivers to be better balanced.

The alpine soft lock works great on my DAS. I can't think of a reason not to use it. I have both the three and the five arrow models.

Alpine softlock on any of my bows that I use a bowquiver on I think they actually absorb vibs. Lately been using one of Rod Jenkins'

lol..yep, stay off my lawn. I'm running a Garand ;)

I don't know how anyone can say they don't balance well????

They're the most adjustable quiver I've ever seen. Plus they sit closer to the riser than others I have. If they were further out it would cause more torque.

Bowmania

I'm with you Bowmania. The quiver itself is thin/narrow. It also allows adjustment closer to the riser than any other quiver I've seen. Plus the angle is adjustable as well. Maybe its me, but I just don't see how it doesn't work for others in the adjustability. I haven't had any issues with vibration either.

I will also agree that the Alpine Softlock is a quiet quiver. Not as adjustable, but very quiet. I had the Alpine on my ACS but didn't like how I was fixed into one angle position.

I guess it all depends on your riser? Works great on my VPA.

I'm sure I'll eventually get one. Yes they are pricey, but how many quivers does a guy buy anyway? If it's a good one, it will likely stay on your bow a long time, and probably outlast all the arrows you put through it.

I'm not currently "running" one, mostly because I'm too old to run. I've actually never heard of the product until this thread was posted. I AM looking for a new bow mounted quiver for "Frankenbow" and I like the looks of this one and the reviews.

Sheepdogreno, thanks for starting the thread and "stay off my lawn!" lol

None of my quivers "run" They slip around in the woods very quietly. Just trying to lighten things up. :<) Actually I have not found any thing to do with archery that I can't make myself. It is certainly easy to modify cheaper products to suit,since I have a lot more time than money. >>>----> Ken

Look good to me. Just need to save some pennies for one. Thanks for the reviews!

It looks just like many other bow quivers to me, so I suspect it is just used to hold arrows. It does look like it would make a nice quiver, much like many others that are available. So hey...it must be fantastic. )) Don't mind me folks, my parents plowed through the great depression and it rubbed off on me. )

I had one on a Morrison Phoenix. Best quiver ever for a AMO style bushings in my opinion.

Tightspots don't set that close to the riser, and with the weight of the quiver full of arrows, it twists very bad at the shot. Add to the fact that they vibrate like crazy, only have one anchoring spot allows the quiver to really vibrate at the shot. Shot guys use them only cause they can be taken off the bow very quickly. Many guys don't shoot with them on the bow.

Bringing this one back to life. 6 years ago I was gonna buy one but never wanted to spend the money. Flash forward to today and I finally got one second hand at a good price. Could not be happier with how it fits my das dx5. Balance is amazing and it makes 0 noise

Glad it worked out for you.

Looks good and glad you are liking it. That's all that matters.

GDS you are more obsessed with, preccupied by money than any rich man ive ever known.

i use Kwikee not because it is inexpensive, because it detaches in one second

If you have the item or information please share it. I read the threads to learn. If you don't, try to restrain your comments. It won't take nearly as long to read all the posts. >>>----> Ken

Glad to see it worked for you. I wonder if that two piece tightspot fits any of these risers. I had looked at it online but haven't seen one in real life.

2 bears what kind of remark is that????? If your talking about being cheap your the King of kings your name is on every free giveaway on here!!!!!

GUTPILE you are growing rather boring. A nosy little busybody with too much time on your hands. Which post are you referring too? For the second, that is an outright lie. I am not on any hat or clothing giveaways that I can recall. No arrows that are too short. No books that I have already read. When there are numerous items like the box of inserts nocks & stuff, I stated only what fits 2016. Someone else can have the rest. The book that I got I passed on. Wasn't on for the leather belts.

This is exactly what I was talking about. The off topic posts starting arguments that increase the length threads so much. Find something else to do. >>>----> Ken

"I had one never did get it as quiet as a alphine soft lock." same as me!

They look very well built and seem to have taken "adjustable" to another level. Just a quick look I noticed the 5 arrow from $105 to $200+.

The guy just wanted some opinions on a bow quiver and was insulted several times? It s regular old hen house run by handful of people need to be heard from on thread posted

I have thick skin. Been a cop for 14 years helps. Just thought I’d revisit this thread and bring it back up for those using them.

I got lucky and got mine second hand and it’s like new. Significantly less than a new Selway would cost me.

I love how adjustable it is I have it in line with my limbs and the bow balances beautifully

it's a regular old henhouse run by a handful of people, who need to be heard from on every thread posted. well said Ross. btw damn near everyone's parents or grandparents lived through the depression. it aint an excuse for bad behavior, or hyper opinions

I had one years ago and didn't like it. Sold it. I like the Selways much better

Ross and PORTAGEMA3 X2.

I could care less if someone is so frugal that they wash and reuse their toilet paper but when you those people start getting snarky about how anyone else spends their money then they are an a**wipe in my opinion.

sheepdogreno, glad you brought the thread back up and gave us a review. Thanks.

Yeah , l got better things to do !

Better things to do than worry about how other people spend money or how they phrase things. See ya !
