Iuse a one piece fixed made by Mathews. In the last 15 years I have had several opportunities tonock a second arrow. Example- I shot a nice buck that was trailing a doe, he ran off but the doe didn't really know what was going on. I slowly nocked the arrow and filled that tag also. Another time I hit a limb and the deer ran about 15 yds and stoped to look around. I got a second shot at him and killed him. IfI was having to reach over to the side to grab my arrows I think I would have been busted from the movement. I like my arrows on the side and ready to go at all times. JMHO
