How do you like the Catquiver? For me it seems like maybe the only way to go since I can't realistically use a bow mounted quiver.
It can strap to my stand, my pacseat, or go on my back. Leaves the weight and attachments off my bow which I prefer

Is the Catquiver making a comeback??? Next will be the back Quiver!

I used a Catquiver for a couple seasons years ago. The only complaint I had was sitting on the ground with it on my back, it had to be removed. Sitting on my knees was not a problem. Worked great for stalking in standing corn.

I use to like the safari mini back in the day. To bad kanati quivers stop making quivers they weren’t the lightest but man they work good and solid to boot and look amazing I have had just about every quiver out there at one time or another and have used a modified kanati and efa for years and some of my own make. Gonna roll with the new strap on selway this year

Both Safari Tuff and Palmer make quivers much better than the cat.
Eh, they both seem to only offer one quiver. Not really a fan of that style to begin with. With the Rancho Safari, you have multiple options for attachments and accessories.

Have you owned any of them? I've had all three and kept the Palmer. I don't use it all of the time, but it gives many more options than the cat.....full coverage, better balance, pocket for extras, multiple attatchment points and most important.....much easier to remove and replace arrows.

I think out of all you said there, full coverage is the only indisputable claim. All the rest is opinion. I’m not saying it doesn’t work for you, but I’m just not into having a hole in the bottom third of the quiver. I’d rather have my arrows exposed. The feathers and broadheads still have to find their way into and out of the quiver. The cat II literally has a small pack and side pouches, so that covers the pockets for extras. Balance? It has backpack straps, not sure how it’s going to be unbalanced. Attachment, I’ll use my compression straps if it’s going on my stand or PacSeat.

We're not talking about a pack system, just a quiver. Backpack straps are a no go for quick access,....so is the ability for a branch to empty a quiver, which it will with a cat.. Balance is referring to the quiver itself......take the pack off and see how it bounces around unless you use both straps.

Unless you've used them side by side, I can't expect anyone to understand the differences, but they are huge.

Just giving my experience based off of owning and using all three.

EFA 3 quiver and Fleming string came today. Thanks for the recommendation! Its the only limbs quiver l ever owned. But i got to say I'm impressed by everything about it. Lightweight, simple, elegant, and solid. Now i just need silencers, arrow holder, nocking point and I'm in business!

That's a good looking set up. I love old bows like that.

I’m not going to argue with you that it doesn’t work for you. I just like the Catquiver. Adjusting it to the fit of your arrows goes a long way in keeping them from falling out. Me pointing out the pack was a rebuttal to you pointing out your Palmer has a pocket to carry stuff. It seemed you were implying other styles you mentioned couldn’t do that. As far as balance, it seems weird that you would have compared apples to orange when thinking a quiver built with backpack straps would balance the same when worn in a manner it wasn’t designed to be worn. Regardless, it balances the same when lashed to a seat or stand. Seems pretty obvious to me, but I could be missing something. And the arrows are pretty readily accessible if you reach behind your back. If you can wipe your butt, you can grab an arrow. Wouldn’t you already have to fish one out of the smaller hole in your Palmer? I don’t see how that’s a significant improvement for arrow access, but again I’m sure it works for you. I just don’t care for opinions to be stated as a matter of universal truth.

You've never used anything else. You're arguing with yourself. My cat I came with one strap....that is how it was intended to be worn....maybe not yours, but mine was.

Watch the Palmer video. By your comments you obviously didn't. No one is fishing for anything from a small hole......again, watch the video.

These aren't opinions as much as they are issues specifically addressed by the development of these designs.

And calm down, it's a conversation about quivers.

You’re right. It’s a superior design. I’ll be selling my cat ii for one.

Actually my cat was a "mini". That could be the confusion. The others have backpack straps.....the mini is the stand alone, sling over the shoulder style.

I think we’re talking past each other. I agree that your Palmer, compared to what you experienced with the cat, paired with HOW you use it is a good setup for you.
