When the cover does not require crawling or ducking, a skilled user will pass through the brush sideways to protect the protruding arrows with bow arm and foot forward. I like to switch my strap around so that the smooth finish side is next to the body in order to slide easier. The quiver equipped with a single strap can also be easily rotated around the body and under the arm while going through thick brush. I also occasionally like to shoot at squirrels while deer hunting, and carrying more than a dozen mixed blunts and broadhead arrows is no problem for the back quiver. This method, outlined by John Schulz in the video and booklet titled Hitting ’em Like Howard Hill, is the method with the most economy of motion and efficiency. With practice, this can all be done in a matter of a few seconds and without looking. Next, guide the arrow to the rest and rotate your hand around the string until you are again in a position to shoot. Angling the upper bow tip up slightly will assist in this “trap and slide” procedure. Trap the string between your thumb and forefinger, guide the string into the nock groove, and slide the nock down the string to your nocking point (nocking above). To take the fullest advantage of this asset, the archer should nock from above a single nock point by sliding the arrow down the string from above. I was never able to get that second arrow out and on the string as easily or as quickly as I do now with the back quiver. Some of those shots resulted in successfully downing game that would otherwise never have been recovered. I have had more follow-up shots at game now that I exclusively use the back quiver. Once an individual is proficient, a second arrow can be smoothly and fluidly back on the string and ready for action without looking or even consciously thinking about it. Speed and capacity are two other advantages for which the back quiver gets the nod. Rotate the quiver under your arm for going through thick brush. In my opinion, the fewer things you have hanging off your bow for hunting purposes, the better off you will be. If a bow quiver were more conducive to accuracy, Olympic archers would have them on their bows. This imbalance can be a detriment to accurate shooting and the proper feel of the bow. The result is to ruin the balance that the bowyer intended. A bow quiver adds weight, and it does so lopsidedly. Longbows especially are by design light in mass and delicate in the hand. The most noticeable advantage of the back quiver is removal of the quiver from the bow.
In fact, the back quiver can provide many advantages to the hunter. All of these issues can be resolved with a properly constructed, designed, and well broken in hunting quiver along with the time to become proficient and skilled in the use of the device. I am not flexible enough to remove my arrows without contortions. The area I hunt is too thick to go through the woods quietly. My exposed arrows catch on every twig and branch. Their reasons are numerous: My arrows rattle around and make noise. Many archers like to use a back quiver for roving or the 3-D range, but dislike them for hunting.
