It doesn't bother me, I leave it on. It also conceals you a little bit when taking a shot. Especially if you are on a staulk.

Extra kwiki bracket thats screws in the tree here.

I do keep an extra kwikee bracket on the screw in base in my bag at all times, but rarely use it. My hinged bow hanger fits perfectly between the arrows in my quiver, so I usually just slide it down the bow arm so it sits against the tree, fletching side up. Keeps it out of the way, but readily accessible........and also it can't fall off this way.

You can see my quiver attached to the side of the tree beside me with my Kwikee Quiver Caddy.... I thought I had a patent on this idea when I made my own almost exactly like it well over a decade ago. Even went to a machine shop and had a few made... Later on that year, I discovered the Kwikee one already out.

I use a Catquiver from Rancho Safari, that has a backpack with a built in quiver. Works really nicely!

I have the qwickie quiver bracket that screws into the tree, but also have a q. quiver bracket screwed into my loc on's and climbers so if i somehow forget my tree bracket i can lock it right on the stand upside down with the arrows facing towards the sky.
