Some have mentioned removing the foam that is in the quiver
if using mechanical broadheads. The other option would be
to use a softer foam.
Wishing you all the best.
Take care.

 

i agree. I cut holes up in the foam. No longer an issue.

 

All my quivers have had the foam removed after seeing what it can do to a mechanical. I bet the greater majority of premature openings folks have experienced over the years was from the foam partially popping the heads open.

 

I fully agree and part of the point I was making about jamming your mechanicals into the foam.

 

I agree about their quivers needing some work. I have a TenPoint Siege and the quiver that came with mine sounds to be a little different than yours. Mine has rubber to hold the heads. The blades of the broadheads slide into slots so they stay closed. The heads do go in far enough to push the dental bands back and they need to be rolled back into place. Mine is a 6 arrows quiver with four arrows on the front and 2 on the back. The 2 on the back appear to be made for field tips. An expandable will sit in them, but the blades are exposed. You wouldn't dare put a fixed blade head in one.

My complaint with the quiver is arrow retention & the mounting bracket. To ME it is difficult to get the quiver mounted and locked on so it stays on. The arrows seem to pop out pretty easy also. I carry my bow over my shoulder with a sling. Last year I was walking out of the timber and heard something behind me. Turned around and there was my quiver laying on the ground. When I picked it up, I was missing an arrow. I back tracked about 75yds and found the arrow. On another occasion, when I got back to the truck and was putting the bow away I noticed I was missing arrow. I found it the next day about 50yds for my stand. Since having the quiver fall off the bow I just started carrying it in my pack...at least now when arrow pops out(they have several times), it stays in the pack and I don't have to go searching for it. I always remove my quiver when I get in the stand anyway, so it's really not an issue. I actually removed the mounting bracket from the bow.

Hole/place on the back for an arrow. See how the blades are exposed...imagine if it was a fixed blade!

I had the same problem with the quiver on my Vengent not holding arrows. They sent me a new part that is stiffer and works better.

 

My quiver came with my crossbow, it's pretty cheap though tbh. The foam in the bottom had some circle shaped cutouts, so I took a box cutter and pulled them out and my fixed blade broadheads slide right into them with the blade corners at the back just barely touching the edge of the circle. If I used mechanicals they would fit inside there without deploying.

 

To put it bluntly for such great bows their quivers suck. A single row of grippers and then foam under the cover you jam you mechanicals into to retain your bolt often time partially deploying the blades. With 80%+ of todays hunters using mechanicals Ten point needs to ditch the foam under the hood and put two rows of grippers on the arm.
Saying that is there any aftermarket quivers that will work with our bows?

TIA

Exactly! I took one look at the 3 arrow quiver that came with my Wicked Ridge Invader 400 and knew it wasn't going to work. I sure expected better from TenPoint! I used a 4-arrow, double-gripper quiver from Bear with the hood foam removed. (Came on a crossbow that was half the price!) Very impressive, and it has worked perfectly with mechanicals.
