Many compound bow quivers are designed to remain affixed to the bow at all times, and can only be removed using a screwdriver or Allen wrench. Or, the sights mounted to these bows will have threaded holes for the quivers. COMPOUND BOWAll compound bows will have accessory holes for mounting quivers. Any limb-mounted quiver must be removed to disassemble a takedown bow. The strap-on and slide-on quivers can be used with any traditional bow, while the quivers that attach via limb bolts can only be used on non-ILF, takedown bows.The one-piece quivers typically attach to the riser, which means an archer can remove the limbs from a takedown bow without having to remove the quiver. The latter quiver can only be used with bows that have the appropriate mounting bushings or threaded holes. There are two-piece quivers that slide over the limbs, two-piece quivers that strap to the limbs, two-piece quivers that attach via limb bolts and one-piece quivers that attach to special mounting holes. TRADITIONALFor traditional archers, there are four basic types of bow-mounted quivers. But yet, the arrows need to be handy for loading.The bow-mounted quiver addresses all these issues. I mean, you have to carry your bow, and you have to carry arrows in a fashion so they don’t interfere with your shooting or staking. Broadheads and back quivers aren’t a good combination.Whoever invented the bow-mounted quiver deserves a medal.

But it’s not very practical for today’s bowhunters. That’s a nice look for Hollywood, and it’s cool for traditional archers shooting targets.

You’ve seen the pictures of Robin Hood and his merry men running through the woods with quivers of arrows strapped to their backs.
