This review is from: G5 Outdoors Head-Loc Quiver (Sports)
This is a well built quiver and I love the idea of rubber attachment points to minimize vibrations. However….
I have had 2 issues with it so far. First, the arrow holder locations on the side are very difficult to attach arrows to. The shape of the side holder opening is a little different and the rubber fingers always close, rather than open and accept an arrow when you attempt to install one. I have to pry it open with one hand and push it in with the other. The other arrow holder locations are easy to use. Once in, all arrows are very secure.
Issue number 2, and the biggest issue and frustration is it has clearance issues with my bow set up. For what ever reason, the quiver hits my rest in 90% of possible installation configurations. I moved my sight to all 4 mounting positions to try to get the quiver to clear the rest (my quiver is mounted to my sight). I also moved the quiver up down, or even rotated to try to get it to clear. The second bar on the quiver always hit the rest (unless i move the sight or rotate the quiver to an extreme angle). When I say hit, I mean, significantly hit. I have no idea of how others are not having this issue. The quiver sits very close to the bow and I think this is why it hits. I even purchased nylon spacers to try to raise it off of the bow a little, and that did not help. I needed at least 1/4 of an inch or more to raise it to clear my rest.
For me, I can only install it in 2 locations. My sight all the way out and the quiver all the way up and the bottom body of the quiver just clears….. by like 1/16 of an inch. The other location is with my sight almost all the way in and the rest splitting the rest.
The installation is frustrating because it forces me to mount my sight in certain positions. If any of you are like me, this makes may be a deal breaker if you don’t want to move your sight if your quiver hits. If some of you do not have as many mounting positions, it may be impossible for you to find a position for your quiver to work. However, it appears I am the only person with this issue compared to the other reviewers.
See the attached photos. I tried to show the positions where it clears and the clearance issues when it hits.
I decided to keep it despite of the drawbacks. The quiver is nice and I figured if I could get it to work i would keep it. The whole process was more frustrating than it needed to be. A quiver mount with more mounting position options would make this perfect.
FYI – My set up is as follows: * Bear Lights Out bow * Trophy Ridge Revolution 2 rest * Trophy Ridge React Pro sight.

This is one of the Best Built quivers I have ever seen. I use G5 Magnum 1.5″ Broadheads & this is the only quiver that comes close to holding these heads. This quiver is extremely lite & quiet. Extremely adjustable. I shoot w/ it off so I purchased extra tree mounts. The Locking System is amazing. The quiver does hold arrows really tight so I placed arrows a couple of sizes bigger than my normal shafts to widen the grippers. AMAZON does it again w/ price!!
