Try a selway quiver Rory,
They fit over the limbs, the leather version looks far better than the Softkote.
Cheers,
Mike

The Thunderhorn and Selwey in limb and limb bolt attachment would suit your bow find Ross

where is the best place to buy a selway quiver from?I am after one aswell.
Which one is the best for the huntsman bows.The one in the photo looks like it will only slip over the limbs of a longbow .
I need the model that fits over wide limbs.

OK, I actually spoke to the maker of my bow, and he said that the selway/great northern style with a limb bolt (under the washer) fitting would be the go. My riser will also take a Delta bow quiver but I figure by the time I got one into the country I may as well try and find something here.

Anyone know of an outlet for this kind of bow quiver in Australia

Rory

There's 3 nice traditional bowquivers commonly available. They have leather covered hoods and are all quality products, what's more they are all priced about the same so it comes down to personal preferences.

If you intend to only use your bowquiver on a 3 piece takedown bow and not on any other types of bow, the type that fits onto the takedown bolts is the most practical. It fits nice and solidly, without excessive movement. If you think you might end up owning a few bows, including one piece models, you might be better off going for a more generic type such as a strap-on or slip-on model. All three manufactures supply each type.

Great Northern make a beautiful bowquiver. I my mind the best thing about them is that they are very lightweight. The last thing you want in a bowquiver is excessive weight, it makes your bow feel lop-sided. Their strap on model is probably the best. I don't particularly like their "Quick Mount" model, designed to fit 3 piece takedowns because you end up with short lengths of wire sticking out past the limb bolts and they would catch on things.

Selway also make beautiful bowquivers. I particularly like the rawhide hood covers. These quivers are very much a quality product. They are slightly heavier than the Great Northern, but they are very solid and strong. They come in all styles including a bolt-on T/D recurve model.

Thunderhorn make a very striking bowquiver with a two-tone leather hood. These are very similar to Selway quivers for both weight and strength. They also come in all styles including a bolt-on model. I have one of these in the "Boa" strap-on style. It has served me very well.

All the above quivers sell for around US$70 - $80 each. They are a long term investment.

You might find one in a tackle shop in Australia, but you would have to be lucky to find the one you want. Personally I would just buy one from the US. It will only take a week to arrive, which is not much longer than one posted in Australia would take to arrive. I'd probably opt to buy from www.kustomkingarchery.com as they are competitive, price wise and offer excellent service.
