Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I just recently purchased a used Hoyt Magnatec from one of the local archery shops and noticed that the quiver is allen screwed to the bow. I have always removed my quivers while hunting but I obviously cant do that with this one.

Just wondering what do yall do while hunting. Hunt with quiver on or off bow?? Are there any advantages either way??

Thanks,
TP

I leave mine on.
I like my arrows right there.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I usea cat-quiver so mine's off

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

off in the stand

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

When I had big quivers I took them off. Now that I have my 3 arrow Alpine Soft-loc..I leave it on.

I've done it both ways but for the past several years take it off. My climbers have a bracket for my quiver to slip on before I leave the ground. If I'm in a hang on I always carry a Caddy Bracket for the Kwickee in my back pack and put my quiver to the right of my stand so that my hand can easily grasp an arrow. I don't worry too much about having my arrows right there on the bow. I figure that 49 out of 50 times the second arrow isn't a possibility or necessary to have so quick. I do practice with it on the bow some just in case I run into a stupid deer walking in or out. It's happened.

I take mine off once I'm in the stand.

Off. BTW, how much you pay for that bow if you don't mind me asking. I've been trying to sell one ever since I bought my Allegeince.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I take mine off because I shot with it off. I can tell the difference when it is on or off. To me I think I shot better with it off and it sounds quieter.......

I leave mine on, I switched to the two piece design a few years back and prefer it.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

Take it off when I get into the tree.

Less weight and noise the better.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I hunt on the ground so it's always on. I also practice with a full quiver so it's the same weight and balance when I hunt.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I never understood why someone would take it off. If you need a second shot the odds are much better with it on. I have taken 2 shots several times. The good out ways the bad so I would say leave it on.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

Off, but practice a couple shots with it on just in case.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I prefer off when on stand.

My reason to take it off is it won't fit in the bow holder with it on and it's harder to manuvor with it on.

Thanks, that's more than I was asking completely rigged.

I have a detachable quiver, and it is always off when I'm hunting or practicing. Even when I'm walking or stillhunting, the quiver is off. It's no problem to set it down if I get into deer. It is handy to attach it if I'm walking down a road, or before shooting light, or hauling my rig up a tree.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

My quiver comes off as soon as I'm in my climber. I attached a spare bracket to my stand, so my arrows are always within reach.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I have always hunted with my quiver on, but I'm thinking I might start taking it off now. Sounds like a good idea.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

leave mine on it is attached

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

OFF

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I've done it both ways but if it's quieter then I might take it off again.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I take the quiver off.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

It's always on.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I took 2 deer this year that (I won't say 'required') ALLOWED me to take a follow-up shot. On both occasions....I was glad my quiver was attached to my bow. Beofre that time.....I'd switched back and forth between on and off. Now....I leave it on all the time.

I typically take ONE shot when I hunt (if I get that ONE shot). The weight is not an issue. It's not in the way, and I can get another arrow on the riser QUICKLY with it so handy.

It's just a personal preference.

I always take mine off while in the stand. I hang in within arm's reach so getting a second shot "if presented" is never a problem.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I lay my bow on bar on the front of my climber when hunting. If I kept the quiver on it would lay directly on my arrows. Quiver is off as soon as I pull my bow up.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I take it off.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

Or you could flip the bow over?

I leave mine on, and lay it across the bar also.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I leave mine on. I just got a new two-piece for my bow. Its extremly light weight and low profile. I like it alot.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

off while in the stand. personal reasons that i am not at liberty to say.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

Same here.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

it just depends on what stand I am in.. Some stands I can leave it on without worrying about hitting it on anything and then some stands I have to take it off or it will hit something and be loud..

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

I take it off and use the screw in tree bracket I dont have the worry about taking another shot, its still right there if need be, but leaving it on for worry of needing another shot is not an option for me, I take it off to to reduce the weight for me it helps make the my first shot the best and one that counts been doing it that way for alomst 10 years now, I wanna try the new light 3 arrow quivers just because my bowtech quiver doesnt have the same kwikee quiver tree srew in mount..

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

Off in the stand or blind, on when stalking or elk hunting.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

Off for me, i have a easy hager,Ilove the thing, I hang my back pack and quiver on it and my bow during season. it works better then anything else.

RE: Quiver on or off while hunting??
 

OFF
