Shooting With Kwikee Kwiver On Bow

[Got2strum]

I'm trading into a Silvertip that is drilled for a Kwikee so I'm hoping to try one. Does anyone shoot with them installed? If so, are there any tips to keep them quiet? I used the search and found some old posts saying about possible noise when shooting with them on the bow. I'd prefer to leave it in place on the bow if I can make it quiet. I have a 6 arrow and it has the thumb screw that locks it in place. The bow isn't here yet, just thought I could get the kwikee ready ahead of time if I need to modify it. Appreciate any tips!

I mounted a quick disconnect to my tree stand and attached the Kwicky Kwiver to that before I went up the tree. I had it set so the arrows were close at hand while sitting in the stand.

The thumb screw does a fine job at keeping mine quite enough when carrying it to the stand. My favorite thing about them is that they are so easy to detach when I get where I'm going. I always lay my bow across my lap with an arrow nocked when on the stand. I can't do that comfortably with a quiver at attached. I have shot with the quiver on the bow just for practice...it is quiet enough and my arrows don't vibrate out like they have on some other bow quivers.

I take mine off when I get to my spot.....I just like it better off.

Thanks. I have a thin piece of rubber that I cut to mount between the bracket and bow. I guess I will try that and the thumb screw and see how it works. I hunt from the ground and sometimes stalk or change positions to get a shot. If possible I'd like to keep it on the bow.

Like shag08 said, tighten down on the thumb screw and you should have no problem. I use the Kwikee all the time but mainly because I like to carry my arrows with a bow quiver and shoot without the quiver on the bow. If I'm stand hunting I take it off and attach it to the tree with the tree bracket...which works great. When I've shot with the quiver attached I've had no issues with noise. You can spruce it up with a leather hood which is not hard to do. PM me if you'd like the leather pattern to cover a 6 arrow hood. Good huntin... Dave

If I'm going to keep it on while hunting I do a wrap of electrical tape around quiver and riser to reduce vibration.

Why are you worrying about it when you don't even know if it makes any noise?  A lot depends on the bow it's on      

You go screwing with it before you even know and your liable to make it worse. Why not wait and shoot it and go from there I shot quickie's for years many years ago on many types of bows and never had to touch them.

My quickie 3 arrow doesn't make hardly any noise with thumb screw tight.I did put black electrical tape on the back of the attachment that fastens to the bow to keep it from damaging my riser.I try not to shoot with it on BC my ADD kicks in and I find myself looking at my bright fletchings instead of my target...

I got the bow today and did some shooting and a little tinkering with tuning. So far it definitely makes noise. I'll just keep messing with it and see if I can get it to work. If not , oh well. Thanks all....

I tried one and it was noisy .

I've been tuning the bow and quiver and I've got both dialed in and ready for the first day of rifle here in PA. I use the lock down screw on the quiver and cut a Limbsaver in half and glued the pieces on where they wouldn't interfere at all. This combined with the nice, heavy FMJ arrows I just set up keep the bow nice and quiet quiver on bow or not.
Can't wait to get back out after some whitetail!

Glad it's working out for you. That's a nice looking set up.
