Default Quiver: On or Off the bow?

Does having your quiver on the bow make any difference as far as shooting goes?

I hunt withthe quiver offmy bow so Ituned the bow with it removed. After tuning, I shot broadheads with the quiver on just to make sure the point of impact was the same. In my case, everything worked out fine, so I can shoot with or without.

If you are planning on hunting with the quiver on, then I suggest you tune the bow with it in place.

Hope this helps.

Practice how you are going to do it while hunting. When the time comes, you don't want anything to be different!

I've found that it doesn't make any difference for me. I usually hunt with the quiver off the bow so I usually practice that way. I do on occasion hunt,(stalk or still hunt),with it on the bow so I make sure I get practice that way as well.

Off. Hip quiver. I'm sure you can shoot just fine with it on. I can think of some reasons it might cause me to cuss though. Weight is one and them arrows hitting something when drawing on somethings another.

I have noticed that I shoot 'bout an inch low with mine on. It probably affects each one alittle different. PlusI find it a distraction, seeing it out of the corner of my eye.

It's never made a difference on almost every bow I've ever owned. In fact, the two best NFAA field rounds I've every shot were with a quiver full of arrows.

I don't like shooting with my quiver on because of the added weight to the side. It seems to cause me to cant the bow if I'm not paying attention. Plus it adds extra noise to the shot so I just take it off when I get to my stand.
