I take mine off once I' m settled in to the stand. I tune and shoot with out it. I have a bracket on my stand that the quiver slides right into and I can access it very quickly and easily. As far as why....well, I like to lay my bow accross my lap and if the quiver is on the arrows are bending(carbons, no big deal) and the bow won' t lay flat....sort of wants to wobble. Also, I have a bow holder on my stand and the bow will not set in it with the quiver on....I could move it to the other side, but then it' s not as handy.

Now that I' ve said all that, I have shot just as many deer with the quiver on....I just prefer it off. Makes me feel more confident, I guess.
