I have not used a bow quiver for about 15 years or so. Instead, I've been using a hip quiver.

The last time I had a quiver on my bow, it rattled and got in the way. That was back before all the great improvements.

The hip quiver I use is old and has many miles on it. I like everything about it except it really is awkwardwhen I have my climber on my back.

I am considering a bow quiver. I think many of my concerns about noise and such aren't anything to worry about anymore.

The thing I am concerned about is the affect on accuracy when the quiver is empty or nearly emptyor off the bow completely. Will a properly tuned, modern bow, shoot the same place, regardless of the amount of arrows in the quiver.

I am trying to decide between a one piece ( I can remove) or a two piece ( which may be fullto almost empty) This is also one of the reasons I went with a hip quiver years ago. It made the bow lighter and always hit the same place because of no quiver on the bow.

Can anyone give me there experience on this?

Also, what bow quiver do you guys like?

I use a quick quiver of some type. It can snap on and off in a second. You can loosen it up fo it is easier to detach/attach and then tighten it up by turning a dial once it is in place to eliminate rattling. It seems to work well for me however i do not shoot with the quiver on. I don't practice with it on so as soon as i get to my stand, or my area i am going to set up i snap it off and rest it beside me.

alpine's soft lok quiver is pretty nice, just a thought...

I'm a big fan of the two piece quiver. I used a one piece for years then switched to the two piece style. I like the two piece better because I always shoot with the quiver on so having a removable one did not benefit me at all. I like having my arrows right there on the bow easy for me to grab.The two piece seem to be quieter, closer to the riser and hold the arrow more secure. I recently purchased a Trophy Ridge two piece for my Browning Oasis and like it very much. It's made very well although slightly heavy. My Ross on the other hand has a two piece quiver made for the bow and it's a work of art in it's self. Very light, very quiet and puts the arrows back far enough that even the longarrows I shoot stay protectedwithin the bow.

I shoot with my quiver on.....and I practice with it on about 1/2 the time. I don't see a difference with it on/off. let me also say that I'm likely not shooting the distances you are.....so take what I say with a grain of salt.

I get in the tree and take one arrow out of the quiver and put it in the rest. At over 300fps....I don't think my bow knows the diff.

I also like having it there when I hunt for follow-up shot reasons. I was afforded a follow up shoton 2 occasions, this year.

There's a lot of good bow-mounted quivers out there. I've had experience with 2....and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of the top name brands.

I like a removable quiver for hunting so it doesnt get in the way. Even when stalking i take it off and turn it into a hip quiver by running my safety belt through it. I only practice w/ my quiver on occasionally. Ive found my arrows make alot of noise when they vibrate... I just seems louder to me maybe. Also I dont like having all that weight to one side, increases my hand torque.

I have a fuse archery quiver, and its great. No noise and quick precise dismount/mount.

I like two piece so that I can remove easily if I want to while in a treestand or blind. I have a Kwikee and it is great for the price. I also have a fuse that is also great but costs $60 buck more than a Kwikee. It is cool though. Better? Not really. They both get it done for my type of hunting. If it had to stay on my bow for most of my hunting, I would definatrly go with the fuse. I like how it holds and releases arrows better.

Do you guys see a difference in accuracy when shooting with the quiver on or off when practicing?

I recently got a Diamond Victory. I'd like to add a bow quiver.

I feel very comfortable taking 30 yd shots and sometimes farther if conditions are perfect.

I'm concerned with accuracy and how much a quiver affects it.

I did think of taking a one piece off and using it as a hip quiver by putting my belt through it, as Huntinged suggested. I just wantthe bowto shoot the same with it on or off.

If I went with the lower profile, semi permanent, two piece, I'd like it to shoot the same whether full or only one or two arrows in it.

i use an alpine Soft Loc 3 arrow quiver. i went with a 3 arrow because if i miss on my 3rd shot im throwing the bow for the 4th. i dont need 5 or 7+arrows. the rest of my arrows are in the truck in the case need be. also i heard 5+ MIGHT affect accuracy of some bows. not a chance i wanted to take. another factor was weight and size. ive shot it with 3 arrows and shot one out of the case all the way down to empty and i generally practice with it off. theres no effect on accuracy..noise is minimal and almost nonexsistant. the soft loc quiver is a good one for the money IMO. its held on by rubber which helps alot. also makes attaching and detaching simple. 90% of the time i take it off and attach it to the tree. just personal prefrence. i rest my bow across my bar on my summit viper and just dont like it on..sometimes ill leave it on though..and state land i cant drill into trees so i leave it on..
