You also have the option of carrying a lot more arrows than other options. Less weight on the bow, less rattle on the shot, and super easy access right on your side if you needed another arrow quickly. What about hunting though? This would definitely lend to the hunter that likes to shoot without a quiver attached to their bow. With the hip quiver, grab the arrows and drop them right down the tubes. Let's be honest: it takes quite a bit of time to retrieve five arrows out of a target and then have to attach them one by one back onto our bow-mounted quivers. They offer easy access and a quick process. Hip quivers have gained a ton of popularity for 3D shoots. It would be much easier in my mind to have my arrows right there on my bow for the quickest access. However, right there lies my one concern with this setup: if I was mobile and sent an arrow at an animal, but either I missed or made a bad shot, I'd be concerned with being able to grab another arrow fast enough to send another one. Just hang up the pack and you're all set with your arrows still accessible. By having your quiver attached to your pack, you have one less thing to hang up when you sit down. Treestand hunters may also prefer this type of quiver.

For the folks that prefer to shoot without a quiver on, but plan to be mobile, a backpack quiver is a great option for you still hunting or setting up to call in that raging bull with an arrow nocked and quiver on your pack. You could even have one quiver attached to your bow and another attached to your pack. This is a great way to pack extra arrows on a backpack hunt. Most hunting packs out there are going to have an ample amount of compression straps that will allow you to strap your quiver to it-should you want to do that.

While there are a few backpacks specifically made to carry a quiver full of arrows, I am going to go out on a limb here and say that isn't totally necessary. The next quiver on our list is going to be the backpack quiver. If you don't have a dedicated 'backpack quiver' you can simply just keep your quiver on your backpack. Regardless, the mounted version definitely gives you less to think about and a more simple approach all around.

When you are chasing a bugling bull you might not have the time to take off that detachable quiver and need to know how to shoot with it if it is windy. Personally, I think shooting with your quiver on in the wind is great practice for the field. Quivers can act like sails in the wind and 'help' throw you left or right. If it is a windy day, having your quiver attached in such an absolute way could definitely affect your accuracy as well. I have heard of folks actually filing down areas on the mount to bring it closer to their bow because of this. These are not going to be nearly as adjustable as some of the detachable models. The bad is that, well, what you see is what you get. The good is that you never have to worry about leaving your quiver in some bush on the side of a mountain.

This can be looked at in both good and bad ways. The only way to get them off is with either an allen wrench or a screwdriver, depending on the model. They are designed to remain attached to your bow at all times. This type of quiver is the opposite of the detachable version. If you do take it off, though, make sure you don't forget to pick it back up! Speaking about detachable quivers, there is also a hybrid version that sort of doubles as a stabilizer and can also be mounted on the side of your bow. For folks that prefer to shoot without their quiver on, this is the route you'd want to go.

I prefer to take my quiver off when I am sitting like that. These are great for when you are held up in a ground blind or treestand. After feeling the difference from one of these new detachable quivers, I don't see myself moving away anytime soon. That will aid in getting your bow to balance just right for you. You can actually rotate many of them forward, backward, or bring it tighter or farther away from your bow. Some people use the quiver adjustments to help balance their bows.
