Since 1995 only one quiver has been attached to my Excalibur and it is the Kwik 3 at only 5.6oz.
I can't count on one hand the number of times that I have needed a second arrow in the field out of the 40+ deer I have killed using my Excalibur

I carry 4 on a hip quiver less mass on a bow draws less attention to movement, No bow quivers for me. My quiver holds 6 field tips but only 4 broad heads with out blades touching that has been fine' I can replenish when I get home most of my hunting is near home .
I have been using the same hip quiver for the last 30 years its is nothing special but keeps on working fine , thought of getting another quiver a few times but see no need.

I take 6-8. Never needed over 2. How? Since I use FOCs, they easily fit in a camo field quiver (like for field points) and just slide into my back pack. Don't like having a quiver on my bow or xbow.

I carry three and have only needed a second bolt once. The third is just extra insurance!

I carry four in the quiver, but keep two with small game points (judo's) in my stand - never know when a grouse or a bunny will wander by.

And four is about 2 too many for deer hunting. If you miss with the first, bambi doesn't usually hang around while you reload :lol:

I carry three . Because the broadheads come in packs of three . The luminoks first came in packs of three . Carrying three has only bit me once . Shot two coyotes and one deer in one morning hunt . Had to have dad bring me a sharp broadhead tipped arrow just incase I needed a coup de grace .
