Do you shoot with your bow quiver attached?

[KSshrewman]

Stand hunter...but I prefer quiver on bow.  Just more convenient for me and like a little extra weight.

[Mike Harris]

I have found that I like the way my bows shoot with a quiver attached, they are more stable, and having a second arrow handy is somtimes a good thing. If you find a side or back quiver cumbersome you should take a look at the Kanati Dual Arc! It was designed to be adjustable to get it just the way you want it on your bow, or for those who like to take it off when they get to the tree it comes off and on easily and has a handy tree hanger. Check them out @  www.kanatiquiver.com

I do both depending on the situation or type of stand/ground blind Im hunting , I pratice both ways through out the year .

[BDann]

Mine is a Kanati, and it stays on.  I like the extra weight, and there is one less thing for me to forget in the jeep.

[Marc B.]

I put one one in August and leave it until after the season.

[frassettor]

I shoot and hunt with mine on, it never comes off.

[dnovo]

Shoot and hunt with it on. If I wanted to take it off at the stand, I would not be using a bow quiver. There are many different choices to carry arrows that way. I use arrows fletched with brown, red or yellow barred feathers with white spliced in at the rear of the feather. This allows me to see the arrow flight but does not provide enough fletching to flag while on stand.

I was unaware of the fact that you could shoot a bow without a quiver on it...lol Mine never comes off I like the weight it gives for stability

[jess stuart]

I have used them for so long, I can't imagine a bow without a bow quiver on it.  Have a hip quiver but have never used it.

[Terry Green]

Good thread....I'd also like to add that at times I use a back quiver, and times I use an Arrow Master, and times I take my bow quiver off in a tree stand....all just depends on the scenario. It shouldn't be one VS the other.

They are all just tools used to carry our arrows and some tools work better than others.  I use a bow quiver brobably 90% of the time for several reasons.  And again, there are ways to maximize them and many advantages.  

Also, we are very fortunate to have so many options today with an array of choices to fine tune these tools to the max for the said purpose.  

I did an article once for a major mag talking about the advantages of the bow quiver and how to make the most of it.  Others did back quivers, back pack quivers, side quivers etc.... All of them have advantages for different uses and different styles of hunting.  And sometime is just comes down to personal preference and what some folks are just use to.

Again...great thread........

My G.N. is always on the bow.

[jjwaldman]

I used to have a back quiver, but now have a Kanati and love the extra mass and the silence it has brought with it.  I think I will be sticking with it.

[Stumpkiller]

I keep one arrow on my bow in a Skookum single quiver - or a Jack Bowyers "Single Stalker" broadhead sheath & 1/2 Selway Piggybacker version of the same.  The rest of my broadheads and blunts are in a side quiver.

 

 

[Steelhead]

I like my bow,quiver and arrows to be one solid unit for hunting.I dont take it off ever till the seasons over.

I do shoot my bows without the quiver attached alot when its not hunting season

[wapitirod]

I've always used a bow quiver going back to when I started in 83 on both recurves and compounds. I have an older limb bolt Sagitarrius 8 arrow quiver on my Brack and a Selway slide on 4 arrow on my Wallace.  I'm having another Wallace made up and I think I'll go with the Selway limb bolt design this time.

[30coupe]

Like Terry, I use both bow quivers and a back quiver depending on the situation. I have a limb bolt Selway that I use on my Orion for tree stand hunting. It gives me one less thing to have to hang somewhere. I have an EFA quiver that I use on my longbows when I use a bow quiver on them because it is light enough to have little effect on the balance. I like my back quiver for the ground blind because with short bows my nocks are constantly in the dirt if I set the bow down. I also like it with my longbows to keep them light and agile.

There is really no wrong answer.

[vtmtnman]

I have always shot with mine on.The weight is better and prefer the conveinece of it.

I use a back quiver only when stumping or small gaming with my LB.

[Rick Richard]

Put it on to walk to the stand and then take it off once I am there.  Maybe an old habit from the Compound.

[hardtimes]

Nope, not anymore. Used to use a bow quiver which I kept on all the time. I have switched to using an Arrow Master and do not have any complaints. I love that thing.

[Shakes.602]

I use an eagle 4 Arrow Bow Quiver. Its so light, I have No Problem Shooting with it on.
