I take it off and use the screw in tree bracket I dont have the worry about taking another shot, its still right there if need be, but leaving it on for worry of needing another shot is not an option for me, I take it off to to reduce the weight for me it helps make the my first shot the best and one that counts been doing it that way for alomst 10 years now, I wanna try the new light 3 arrow quivers just because my bowtech quiver doesnt have the same kwikee quiver tree srew in mount..
