It' s a matter of preference Kiresis........if you want to hunt with a quiver attached to your bow, then leave it on your bow and do all of your preseason shooting with it ON your bow. I personally, prefer to shoot my bow with my quiver off. I still have a quiver that attachs to my bow, but I take it off and hang it on a hook once situated in my tree. If you go this route, just make sure whichever quiver you choose is one that can easily be taken off and put back on. Good luck to you in the deer woods.
