I'm a simple man Kirk. But still didn't help with the question on non bow mounted quivers other than my treestand mounted quiver.

For hunting I really like the Safari Tuff quiver. Mine has the pocket to put smaller items in. The Safari Tuff does a really nice job of protecting the fletchings too.

When hunting from a ladder stand I often carry a small rope sack style backpack to carry my stuff. Sometimes I carry arrows in a compound type quiver snapped onto my backpack. Actually hooked on the ropes with one of those twist tie type things which I also use to attach it to the ladderstand or a limb. Sometimes the simple just works.

Resurrecting this thread because I'm definitely at the point of needing a quiver, post-haste.

I suppose, after much reading/research, that a bow mounted quiver is the best way to go. I'm trying to choose from among all the models out there - and none of them are terribly cheap. (And never seem to come up for sale used @ ArcheryTalk.)
Traditional #1: Flatline Hypertension, 66", 48@28, Ash and Yew (#12017)
Traditional #2: Flatline Hypertension, 66", 42@28, Bocote and Wenge (#112017)
Compound: 2016 Defiant 30, Black Gold Ascent, 10" Bee Stinger Pro Hunter Maxxxxxxxx, QAD Ultra, Etc

I've never had any issues with a bow mounted quiver (other than noise, which is fixable). I would suggest looking at some of the quivers from Selway (one of our sponsors, see the header on the forum home page)

I hate to put you back in limbo, but have you checked out G. Fred Asbel's quiver? It can be arranged a number of ways to suit you...not cheap though. I'm considering one anyway.

For a bow mount, if you are using 2 blade heads, Eagles Flight Archery has a 3 arrow Mesa. I have one of them, and one of his Chief quiver. I prefer the mesa, but the Chief will hold about any head. I prefer them personally over the much heavier Selway.

Mine is the 3 arrow Tall Mesa

I would get one that has a bar that connects the hood and gripper, mine doesn't have one and it annoys the heck out of me.
