So I guess that just being older, or as I prefer to call myself "well seasoned", does not automatically mean one is smarter! Yes, the spring arm quiver looks really good on the bow and in fact the weight seems to have a nice stabilizing effect on the bow; BUT oh my is it ever noisy! CLANG GLANG with every shot. Yes, even with some soft leather pads under the arms, I see that the finish shows wear in just a few dozen shots. Thanks for your help, but I may just stay with back quiver and tie on a one-arrow stalker when I want an arrow close.
