The TightSpot quiver gets its name from how “tight” the quiver can mount to your bow, which is a feature of how slim the quiver is, but also of the way in which the mounting bracket is designed. This setup puts the mass of the quiver slightly forward, which helps me with holding steady and following through with the shot. My quiver is set up to be angled forward the hood of the quiver is closer to the front of my bow, and the tail-end of the arrows is angled toward the rear of my bow. These channels allow the mounting bracket to pivot, and therefore changes the vertical angle of the quiver in relation to your bow.
The mounting bracket controls two critical factors of the quiver’s setup: the vertical angle/cant of the quiver, and the distance of the quiver from your bow.Īs you can see in the photo above, the mounting bracket has two curved channels in which the mounting screws reside. The lever on the quiver allows you to attach or remove the quiver in a split second.

Upon first glance, there isn’t really anything special about it, but as you begin to install your TightSpot, you begin to realize just how important this bracket is to the overall design of the quiver.Īs you can see in the photo below, the mounting bracket is attached to your bow sight, and the quiver itself is attached to the mounting bracket via a dove-tail joint. The design of this bracket is beautifully simple. The TightSpot mounts to your bow sight via the included bracket.
Now that we have those details out of the way, let’s take a look at what makes the TightSpot really special. The TightSpot comes in both right- and left-handed versions, and is available in Matte Black, Realtree AP, Realtree APG, Realtree Max-1, Mossy Oak Infinity, Mossy Oak Treestand, and LostCamo. The TightSpot weighs in at 11.36 ounces, is 19 3/4″ in length, and it holds 5 or your favorite arrows. But, if you are one of the many who spot & stalk game with your bow, or for any other reason need to shoot with your quiver, you should look at the TightSpot. If all you are going to do is use your quiver to get to your treestand, and then take it off to shoot, then there are 130 better ways to spend a buck. If you are a treestand hunter only, I don’t think it is necessary. However, I still wasn’t sold on dropping $100+ on a quiver…it just didn’t seem necessary. If I couldn’t shoot well with my quiver, I was in trouble. All of a sudden my quiver was more than an arrow “transportation” device, and it was now a critical piece of my bow setup. It wasn’t until I tried spot & stalk hunting, that I realized I did need a quiver on my bow, and I did need to shoot with it on. When I first heard about the TightSpot, I literally laughed at the price, just as some of you may be doing right now.Īfter all, what can a $130 quiver do that my $30 quiver can’t? I certainly didn’t need to spend $130 to hold my arrows until I got to my treestand, because once there, I was just going to remove my quiver from my bow anyway. It isn’t often that I start a review with something negative, especially on such a great product such as the TightSpot, but let me get this out of the way… There is only one downside to this product, and it is the price.Īt $130, the TightSpot isn’t cheap, but price aside – everything else about this quiver is perfect.
