Hip Quiver Alternative
 
Been using this method of a Quiver attachment for a long time.
I've using a version of the "Quicky Quiver" brand quiver for many years,
I used to use the one that holds 5 arrows but switched to the smaller lighter
one that holds 3 arrows in recent years.

I'm shooting a heavier older bow and I prefer the quiver weight off the bow.

I found the "quick diss-connect" connector for the Quicky Quiver worked best
for me. I have a QD attached to a belt to wear like a hip quiver, I have another
attached to my climbing stand and another attached to my fixed ladder stand,
and another mounted inside my bow case.

Quicky Quivers don't hold the smaller diameter arrows that have become popular today but do hold most others very well.

They are moderatly priced, good quality and can be found in just about in any
store that sells sporting goods.

Pictures I've attached show how you can modify the QD to use for a waist belt.

The standard mounting of a QD for a Quicky Quiver is on the riser, it uses the
same hole pattern as any other quiver.

Good stuff.
I think my bow would be easier to navigate through the brush without the quiver on it but I haven't seen a hip quiver option that I'd be interested in trying but adding something like that to my belt might be good. Cat quiver looks great but the price is crazy.
What's it like walking through thick brush with the quiver on your belt? Better on the side or back?

I put my quiver right in my pack. Out of the way and easily get through the thick bush.

I wear it behind my back when still hunting or climbing up/down a stand,
I slide it around front when backpacking my climbing stand or ground blind.

I also use a long belt to go around high at waist level and enough to wear over a
camo coat when it's colder out.

When the quiver is around back it's very easy to reach an arrow and the nocks
are about even with the top of my head so they are all most totally hidden
and very seldom catch any branches overhead or to the sides.

I expect you can find other quiver brands that have a quick diss-connect
method of attachment that could be modified to work the same. Just need to
be able to buy additional QDs.
