Quivers changing arrow tuning?
« on: October 30, 2015, 12:34:00 AM »
Thinking about trying a strap on or slide on quiver. I usually use a hip quiver, and have for years. Would a slide/strap on quiver mess with my arrow tuning with it being attached to the limb?

My opinion isn't the same as Jerry's.  It COULD make a difference in your setup.  Only way to know for sure is to try it for yourself.

I do not notice any difference with a bare shaft.

No, they usually do no affect tuning.  However, most people shoot a bow with a quiver better than the same bow without the quiver.  The bow with a quiver and arrows is more forgiving of hand torque and form flaws when shooting.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Probably not much difference in the tune of the arrow.  It will shoot differently.  The added weight can also induce torque upon release.  It just takes a little getting used to.

I'm with Hermon... won't know till you try it...  

I'm one that it does affect...

I shoot my bows pretty much vertically to 1 o'clock cant and with a quiver they will shoot 6-8" left... take the quiver off... right down the middle...

Pain in the butt as I like the handiness of a bow quiver... side quivers are always in the way as I have to carry stands in an out each trip... so I've gone with a Great Northern that I can take off when I get to the stand...

I shot alot with my buffalo bow. I added a Hoyt quiver and it changed the way the bow sat in my hand at draw it would move at and after the shot differently. I went to a thunderstorm boa and it shot almost the same as without the quiver. Almost that is. The closer to the riser and the lighter the quiver is the less it seems to change things.
It did not truly change the tune, it changes the weight, the ballace, the feel and the way you handle the bow.

the quiver adds mass to the bow... I'm with Walt.   More bow mass (to a point) smoothes the release.    
I shoot my longbows better with quivers attached and 4 or so arrows for weight.

I guess I was more concerned with the quiver strapping to the limb, changing something.

Just make sure you get the quiver down on the fadeouts or where the limb is not working... make sure it's not up on the working part of the limb...

Don't know. I've never tried a quiver on a longbow. Back when I was younger and shot recurves, I was equally bad both ways.

2X on this post   and you are fine. even on a TD bow it won't effect anything.

Once you get used to shooting with a bow mounted quiver, its hard to go back to shooting a bare bow for some guys. I like the extra mass weight and balance better with a full quiver.

I always used a hip quiver before I got into hunting, but I prefer shooting with a bow quiver now. I use the 3 Rivers Mini Boa on my longbow. It doesn't affect arrow flight at all for me, and I don't have to worry about arrows snagging on brush anymore.

I don't think it will affect the tune unless you have the quiver mounted too far up the limb, I prefer the extra weight actually.  I'm a gap shooter and I really notice a difference in how much the tip of the arrow moves around when the quiver full of arrows isn't on the bow.  

The best quiver I've used is the Selway slide on.

I've been using a bow quiver on my longbows for a lot of years now. First one I had was the Selway slide on. I had to get used to it which didn't take very long, but at first I shot 6" left with it. I have since gone to the Thunderhorn Boa and now the small fry. For quite a few years now I can take a bowquiver off and shoot the same as having it on.
I just think it takes a little while to adjust to it.
