When Hunting From a Tree Stand?

[Wannabe1]

Planning on using a tree stand for the first time this year. I was wondering for those of you who hunt/have hunted from stands, do you use a bow quiver or prefer to shoot bare bow? How do you hang your quiver if not using a bow quiver?

I don't like bow quivers so I don't use them.  I use a plains style quiver and hang it from a hook I screw into the tree.  Used to do the same with removable bow quivers.  The trick is to hang where you can reach it, but where it's not in way when shooting.

My recurve quiver (German Ridge) comes off with ease so I just hang it on a branch. My EFA longbow quiver does too but I like the extra weight there so I leave it on. Consistency isn't really a human trait!      :D

I use a bow quiver in a tree stand, but not in a pop-up blind. It's not in the way in a tree, but the nocks can dig into the dirt in a blind.

I use a bow quiver while treestand hunting. It's just one less thing to deal with when up in a tree. Bow quivers are nice while carrying a stand on your back too.

I rarely use a bow quiver once the deer season is over.

I keep a bowquiver on my recurve all the time... in the tree or on the ground.
Not sure I see the wisdom of taking it off in the tree.

I guess if one can shoot as well with it off as with it on you'd just find a different way to carry arrows. Seems like switching back and forth couldn't be good for a guys shooting.

I shoot both ways from a tree.It depends on which bow I'm carrying. If I take the quiver off I tie a piece of cord on it and hang it on an extra bow hanger. It just depends on how you shot with one on the bow I guess. I never take one off my bow on the ground though I guess I feel more comfortable on the ground.

Bare bow and use a screw in hook for the quiver.

[robtattoo]

I'm with Charlie on this one. If I couldn't shoot as well with it on as off, I'd use a different quiver.
Why would you want to take it off, just because you're up a tree?

[carbonflyr]

i use a great northern strap on and it's always on the bow during open season.

[Wannabe1]

Ok, the reason for my question is, since I've never hunted from a stand it seems it would be kind of hard to have the bow laying across your lap with an arrow nocked with the quiver attached to the bow causing it to roll back and forth if you see what I'm getting at. Sorry, that was kind of long winded.   :D

I also use a German Ridge quiver, I take it off when I get in the tree and hang it on a hook with in easy reach. The German Ridge is quick and easy to take off and put on.

When I plan on hunting from a stand, I always carry my arrows in a bow quiver. I use a Thunderhorn Boa 5 arrow with a homemade camo fletch hood. It straps on tight and comes off easy. I have a couple of hooks on a spare tree strap and hang the quiver and my pack on the tree within easy reach.

I almost always shoot with a bare bow. It's easier for me to manouver around in a tree and on the ground.

when shooting out of a tree stand remember to bend at the waist when you are shooting or you will shoot over their back.  Missed some good deer before i learned that.

Bow quiver on in the tree for me.The only time I don't like a bow quiver is bunny hunting in thick brush.Less to get hung up on.

[Stone Knife]

I use a safari tuff quiver, i have hooks to hang my bow, quiver and other gear screwed into the tree at every stand. If I use a climber i just have hangers in my fanny pack to screw in then take them out when I done for the day.

TW I alway leave my Great Nothern quiver on and have no problem

[BowMIke]

I leave my Mni Boa on in the treestand.

[stickbow2442]

I always use a back quiver or side quiver. I don't like a quiver on my bow. I just sit the quiver behind me on my set.

Been hunting out of trees since 1973, alway used a take off quiver, either use small limb or deer step hang quiver on, with quiver on a bow your fletching could catch the eye of a big buck when you start to draw.
