Default Quiver on or off?

I am debating whether or not I want to have my quiver attached to my bow this year. The pros of having it on are quick second shot capability, but the cons are the balance and xtra weight. I have been practicing the entire summer w/o it, but just shot with it and I actually shot better(I know the quiver didnt do anything its just in my head), anyhow what do you prefer.

Edit- I do have a attachment on the tree I hunt on to snap my quiver on that instead of having it on my bow.

I leave mine on, no real good reason, but it is not veryheavy, so it doesn't bother me.

I always take mine off but this weekend I didnt have time to so I just shot with it on. No real difference that I noticed.

I have taken mine off in the past but this season I have just been leaving it on. Doesn't seem to have any ill effects on my shooting!

Once I'm set - up and ready to hunt , I'll take my quiver off.
With the bright fletchings on my arrows I'm afraid that the deer will see the movement if I'd left it on my bow when I get ready to draw.

Off for me. Like RDHunter, once I get settled in I take it off and hang it nearby. No sense in the extra weight plus just more for the deer to see moving and it also may bump something unnecessarily.

i have to leave it on, i hunt from a portable tree stand and im forced to leave it on because i cant put my quiver any where, it does not affect my shot at all... i would take it off if possible, but if you cant it dont really hurt, plus you can get a second shot quicker.
