I've done it both ways but for the past several years take it off. My climbers have a bracket for my quiver to slip on before I leave the ground. If I'm in a hang on I always carry a Caddy Bracket for the Kwickee in my back pack and put my quiver to the right of my stand so that my hand can easily grasp an arrow. I don't worry too much about having my arrows right there on the bow. I figure that 49 out of 50 times the second arrow isn't a possibility or necessary to have so quick. I do practice with it on the bow some just in case I run into a stupid deer walking in or out. It's happened.
