WESTERN RECREATION IND Vista Big John Back Quiver Camo

Well, the Vista Big John camo back quiver works. It fits my large frame (6 feet, 7 inches) okay, I guess. There is a lot of adjustment in the web strap, so I can make it loose or tight. But the quiver body is not as deep as it claims to be. Despite it saying it is 20 inches deep, mine is exactly 18 inches deep as measured with a tape measure. My arrows are 31 inches long, so more arrow sticks out of the quiver than I can easy handle. The nocks are so far up in the air when the quiver is on my back that I can't comfortably reach them over my shoulder. I have three other back quivers that are deeper (about 20 to 22 inches) and are made to ride lower down my back, and they are all much more comfortable, because the arrows' fletching/nocks are closer to my shoulder and easier to grab. They are all too nice to tear up in the woods, so I thought I would get this inexpensive quiver to use instead.I tried slinging it farther down my back and tightening it there, but the way it is made of flimsy web/backpack material, it collapses against my body and makes the arrows angle out away from my back. That makes them even harder to reach over my shoulder. I think if I sew on an extra strap to hold the top to my torso/shoulder area, or if I put some kind of insert (cardboard?) in it to make it rigid so it doesn't spoon up against me and make the nocks angle away from me, I can use this comfortably.

Ok so to start I am a pretty muscular guy with a broad chest and on the lowest tightening the quiver would shift to make the arrows point away from me. So why do I give it a 5 star rating? Because I was able to fix it with a simple solution. What you do is take the extra strap at the bottom that kinda just hangs there and pull it as tight as you can. Then wrap it around the other side of your body and connect it to the cross strap. Sew that part to the cross strap and voila the arrow will stay in place and you take the quiver off by unclipping the buckle.Trust me it works and I don't regret buying this item :D

I am an avid archer. I hunt and sport shoot, long, recurve, compound, and crossbows. I do not care for the installed arrow holders that are on many of the newer bow products. The added uneven weight just adds another factor you have to compensate for when shooting. So I take them off and I use a traditional quiver. Since I prefer to where it on my back this quiver was perfect. Hip quivers that are often popular make more noise than I like when I hunt or stalk and I find it catches brush as I move. This product holds lots of arrows comfortable and is strong and well fitted. It came quickly and was in great condition. This is a best buy 5 star for me.

I have to say that when I opened it the first time, I was disappointed. It seemed to be poorly made. Once I began using it in the field, I love it. The adjustable positioning is great to line up the top of your arrows with your behind the back grab. I can move arrows in and out easily with out looking. It holds a dozen broad heads easily with room to spare. I also found that the plastic clasp was helpful once in a tree stand. One more idea, utilize the strap loop to attach your flashlight, knife, rangefinder, etc and you have a one grab article that houses all your gear with out having to mess around with a belt and safety harness. Highly recommended.

This back quiver is perfect. Its adjustable to fit my frame and it clips on and off easily so I can throw my arrows back in and put it back on my back in a few seconds. I use full length arrows and they fit well. It does have a warning not to use broad heads in this quiver which is a little disappointing. I may give it a try and see how it works. Maybe if I use some mechanicals that are aren't as sharp is a fixed broad head. We shall see...

I was happy with this quiver for a while. I didn't get a chance to use all that often, so it seemed good. Well, a while back I pulled it out of the gun cabinet and broken away at the point where the nylon strap meets the camo pattern nylon fabric of the quiver itself. It had fifteen arrows stored in it while it hung in the cabinet, without any heads attached whatsoever to the arrows. Not a heavy load. I would not recommend this product to anyone. It's just too flimsy, won't stand up to any real use. If you happen to have one, then keep some chute cord on hand to make some repairs if you happen to have it break while you're using it on a hunting trip.

My 14 year old grandson wanted a camo back quiver for his archery hobby. He is about 5 7 so wanted one that would be appropriate for his age and height. This product is exactly what he wanted. And the seller was stellar. I called him to ask about the product, return and refund policy (in case this wasn't what the boy wanted) and he was kind, courteous and very customer friendly. Recommend this product and the seller.

The quiver is good but does not have any support. It folds up before the arrows are put in. Needssomekind of support in the quiver to help keep it ridge while on your back
