Curing a creeping quiver

I've got Selway on each of my recurves (one slide on and one quick connect) and I'm having issues with keeping them in place over time. The hood gripper wants to creep up the top limb after about a dozen shots and the arrow gripper wants to creep downward.

What's the solution to keeping them in place?
 
I've heard you can soften the slide on part in warm water in order to get it to seat better.
 
May try wrapping the limb with a thin layer of vet tape and then push the slide over top of that. We'll see.

Just curious. What made you go away from EFA and buy the Selways?

The hood on the EFAs always seemed flimsy to me. It's only a thin piece of leather protecting the broadhead and I felt uneasy about the possibility of jamming one into the spongy foam and right through the hood leather.

So I sold both of the ones I had and went with a Trophy Ridge Hex Lite for the Morrison. Razorbak66 sent me a Selway to try and I ended up really liking the robustness of the hood, hard foam, and low profile of the limb attachment points. Then I started to feel a real difference in weight in the Hex Lite and Selway so I sold the Hex and got another Selway.
 
I've had good luck with Great Northern as well. I just bought a strap on model for a longbow.

I prefer the EFA with a totem or the GN because of the wire support. I'm going to convert another EFA to the totem.

This is what I do! Love my Selway quivers.
1 wrap of vet is enough. Figure out where you want the quiver in relationship to your fade……then one wrap of vet and heat the rubber part of quiver in HOT water. Spread it out and slip it on. To be honest, you may not even need the tape? It really depends on what type of bow/wood you are putting it on, too!!

Good luck.
 
Maybe wrap some hockey tape on the limb to keep it from sliding.

Years ago my first bow Quiver was a Selway and I had the same issue. I went to a back quiver then a side Quiver and tried them for a while before I got a Great Northern. Problem solved. I have been using the same Quiver for over 20 years with the same foam in it. I have replaced the straps a couple times but the Quiver is solid and it does not move at all. Once I mount it for hunting I wrap the straps with hockey tape to eliminate the possibility of them coming undone.

Did you look inside under the foam on the EFA? He reinforces it with a hard rubber pad that spans the entire top of the hood. It’s not just leather under there. Would be really really really hard to penetrate. I have had my EFAs long enough to replace foam which is how I know. Just fyi.

That will work wrap enough to be where you need to muscle it down on it. Told you I’ll send you my modified EFA
