That’s a really pretty bow and quiver setup you have. I had thought about a Dual Arc for a while but made up my mind when I saw them at Archer’s Advantage. I didn’t want the goldish brown metal finish only because it was a bit shinier than I’d prefer so I ordered one in black.
I tried to position mine so that I could achieve the following and in the following order from most to least important to me:
1. Shafts and feathers angled within the normal curves of bow and not sticking out in front. This was to allow me to get as close in on a blind or tree as I would with a bare bow and not worry about feathers brushing into stuff.
2. Balanced to make the bow fall back into my hand when shooting. It’s hard to describe but when shooting it, the top bow tip will ever so slightly fall back towards me upon releasing. This lets me keep my grip loose and not have to “grab” the bow because it’ll roll back right into my hand anyway.
3. Arrows not too low where they’d drag on leaves or sticks when still hunting if I rest my bow tip on my shoes when hunting. This just keeps my nocks and feathers out of leaves and sticks on the ground and it gives me space to put the bow in my Archery Stand By without the quiver and feathers getting into the way.
4. Mounting straps as close to the grip as possible while giving the positioning and balance that I wanted. This was to keep the quiver as far away from the working limbs as possible.
5. Shortest foam to gripper distance possible. This was to allow as much space as possible for clearance for the fletchings from each other when removing arrows so that they don’t make that opening Velcro noise when the feathers rub each other upon removing arrows when hunting.
I’m not sure that what I have is “the optimum position” but it is one that meets all of my goals. I wish I could get the quiver up a bit higher and a bit more towards the string but when I do that, the fletchings start brushing into my poof silencers. I’ve asked Santa for a new string and some fur silencers that should be a bit lower profile and when those come in I’ll play with their placement to work around the quiver as best as possible.
I have in the past been a back quiver guy but don’t foresee myself not using the Kanati quiver for hunting in the future. My bow actually shoots better with the quiver on than without; it is more quiet now, it is more stable when aiming and firing, it falls into my hand ever-so-slightly rather than needing grabbed, and it puts all my arrows right there up front for me now.
