I've seen too many so called "professional" hunters on T.V. fumbling all over the place trying to get another arrow from their "detached quiver". Not to mention making noise and wasting timeand losing a second chance because they've spooked everything around them. IMHO, it's a bad habit to get into by not hunting and shooting with a full quiver attached.
I have actually been able to nock a second arrow a few times out of dozens of bow kills and I have always had my quiver off and never had any problems getting another arrow on quickly and quietly.If Imake my firstshot countI dont need a secondarrow : )
I guess its all howindividuals handle things under pressure in getting that second arrow nocked. Either way you will cause some kind movemet and some noise IMO.
