My bow weighs +/- 4 lbs. My arrows weigh +/- 460g ea, + quiver. I typically have my bow in my hand for about 1 min or so before I shoot (If I had to average it out).

I can handle the extra "weight" for that long. This is a roundabout way of stating that in MY "opinion"......the extra weight is a non-issue.

I like having the arrows readily available in case I get the chance at a follow up shot (which I did on 2 occasions, last season).

I've also practiced with it on and off......and don't see a discernable difference in either approach.
