Do you take the quiver off your bow once you are setup to hunt?

Would you take it off if it was quick and easy to take off and on?

Imo, the most important features of a bow quiver is it must hold the arrows securely in place, and must not slide up and down, on a bow that has abrupt or gentle sloping fades.
If it moves, I don't want it.

I used to use a quickee quiver that slid into the bracket. I took it off every time I was in the blind.

I just don't like more stuff hanging off my bow to get snagged up.

I just can't figure out why you would use a bow quiver if you want to take it off to hunt or shoot. Lots of other choices for not having it on the bow.

I have a Great Northern quiver with rubber straps to attach it to my longbow. I remove the quiver when on stand and strap it to a tree limb within reach. Works great, leaves arrows within reach, straps securly to tree limb allowing easy removal of arrows. If still hunting, or stalking, I leave the quiver attached to my bow.

I always take my bow quiver off when I'm on stand. I like easy to see feathers (so I might find them easier when I miss. those bright colored feathers saved me $90 last season) and don't like flashing them around when I move my bow to shoot.

I hunt on the move and I want my arrows as close and handy as possible.

Only bow quiver I ever used was on My wheelie bows back in 2002-2004. Since I started using a trad bow I haven't used a bow quiver.

Many times I have a climbing stand on my back, so a bow quiver makes it easier to get all my stuff where I'm going. Once up a tree, the quiver comes off.

I practice with it on the bow so it stays on all the time.

I hunt brushy terrain that whether I'm crawling or just walking a side or back quiver would be more subject to snags. I believe a bow quiver by design is quieter. When hoisting my bow up a tree the quiver is in place and requires no additional attention. I spend a lot off time up a tree and enjoy a bow holder which keeps my bow close to my left hand. That said I'm right handed and that woud put my arrows between my bow and stand. I simply detach my quiver and affix it to my stand. This is just the way I've always done it not to say I wont one day switch as I very much like the construction of Eagle Flight quivers and have entertained employing one on my longbow. If I encounter a deer and need to get off a shot with quiver attached ,I'm ready for that as well!

I voted yes on both because I used to hunt with a kwick-e-kwiver and I did take it off. I no longer hunt with a bow quiver. Because if you need to take a shot in the field you won,t be able to get the quiver off and if you're not used to shooting with a quiver on your bow it will affect your shot.

I don't like or us bow quivers. I hang my back quiver, usually a CatQuiver, on the stand I'm carrying, going in and coming out.

My quiver does have a qiuck detach and I havent taken it off for anything but travel.

What BWD said is exactly why I'm looking at buying a GN bow quiver. I have used the Cat 2 quiver exclusively for years and like it a lot. However, using a bow quiver for transporting arrows is better when you are carrying a stand etc on your back on longer treks. Once set up I would remove as I don't like to shoot with a quiver on the bow. When not toting a stand I will stick with the Cat 2.
