I use a side quiver, so the bow is free....  :thumbsup:

My bow shoots the same whether my quiver is on or off I've practiced enough both ways to make sure. I am more likely to take it off while sitting on stand to avoid flagging (all white fletching) and noise from the fletching rubbing on something. It's hard for me to be a statue.

 Also, I will use an Arrowmaster on some of my hunts, my bow won't feel strange to me on those days if I normally have the bow quiver off.

I never liked a bow quiver, then I seen the eagles flight 3 arrow quiver and tried it. I love the way the bow shoots with it on, seems to make it more steady and balanced.

Yes....i hunt and shoot animals with bow quiver on.

Make sure you have it attached properly in the fade outs.

Lots of advantages to leaving it on.

I have been back and forth on this issue. I have settled on a EFA 4 arrow Apache that i leave on my bow all the time. Only problem so far is that I ran out of arrows on a Big Bull in New mexico. Shot under him 3 times in a wallow. Come to find out my string had streched a little and nock had moved up.More arrows may not have helped.  :knothead:

I shoot most of the year without the quiver, I use a side quiver for 3D shoots. I strap on the Great Northern bow quiver about two weeks before the season to get used to the different feel.

I never shoot without my quiver. Shoot like you'll hunt.

Its an entirely personal thing...I practice with my bow set up both ways..the feel is different with the quiver on but I can shoot well either way. I like to have it on when I'm shooting a longbow...it just feels better

For hunting i always havea bow quiver on. I went on a caribou hunt with a back quiver and it was such a pain i switched to the bow quiver and never looked back.

I hunt and shoot with a bow quiver.  I like mine a lot and I am shooting an older MAII Black Widow with a bow quiver bolted into inserts.

I carry 4 arrows in mine---3 broadheads and one blunt.  I like a bow with a little weight to it, just feels more stable in my hands.  But to each his own---

I don't like one on my bow. Yes it is more convenient to grab a second arrow, but then you are creating more movement for the critters to see with your fletching hanging out there waving arround.

Boomer.....that's what fletch covers are for. And the bow quiver with fletch cover along with the bow act as a blind breaking up your outline.

Again....most folks don't know about maximizing all the positives of a bow quiver. I've even rattled in a buck with one.

Depends on the bow. My BW has a kwikee quiver that comes off and attaches to my climbing stand. My vintage Bears that I mostly hunt with are shot with the vintage spring arm quivers installed.

I shoot better with one on.  I guess I like more mass weight.  Some times I'll remove it & use a catquiver to hunt from the ground.

I prefer it ever since I scrapped the fletching on my pants from arrows that where in a selway and the two deer spooked..

if I have to shoot with it on its a great northern because it keeps the fletch all tight together and out of the way,, selways and thundehorns spread the fletching apart which scares me..

so i walk in and walk out with the bow quiver on when using one of my bows that uses one, once at the stand it come off.

Always on! It helps to add a little mass weight to my bow. Seems to help quiet down.
