I hunt with mine on always. I like having the second shot readily available, whether for a miss or a second deer. (It' s come in handy for both!) I rest my bow across the rail of my stand, and it just lays better with the quiver on. I' ve shot with it off, anbd it just mak4ed the bow too light for me. I like the stabilizing weight that it provides. It' s just what I' ve always done, and it' s what I' m used to.
