Call it what you want, BUT the torque is in your HAND, not from that quiver. Ignorance here is speaking for himself, and it's pretty obvious.

Not sure where there's a good link here, but this is STICKY'd on another site and is quite informative in all honesty. It's been referred to literally THOUSANDS of times by good EXPERIENCED archers.... http://www.archerytalk.com/vb/showthread.php?t=539460

I always think of extremes in this situation,imagine you have a ten pound weight on iether side of your bow,that would create obvious side torque right?

It would ONLY create torque if you allowed the extra weight to MAKE you torque the bow in your hand.

Hold it steady.....NO torque issues.

I do have a level on my sights and do use it on every shot,making sure my grip is loose enough centered in my palm

TRUE ANSWER.... NO, not if you have a good grip. I notice NO difference with or without a quiver on my bow, loaded with 5 or 7 arrows. Precisely why I'm saying the problem is the guy behind the bow. I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm trying to guide you to realizing there IS a better way of doing things. I posted on another forum that I believe my Slick Tricks fly BETTER than my FP's and out to 40yds, I'm sticking them where at least one blade is touching the 2" diamond in the center of my MDL Broadhead target.

In all honesty, if you tune your bow to shoot BH's close/with FP's, you'll shoot FP's better as well. I may have come off harsh, but you really are spewing forth BS and I know a lot of guys who think like you do or used to think like you do until they "saw the light," archery wise at least.

Maybe someone should define "A GOOD GRIP"

The more you type, the more you open yourself up to make yourself a BETTER archer. The bow should BARELY touch your palm. If you hold it between your thumb and index finger, and let the rest of your fingers fall free, that's the way you should be holding it. Are you using a wrist strap??? If not, you NEED one. It will help you "relax" your hand and eliminate torque. Seriously, look at the link I provided, it's been hit on over 22,000 times for a reason!!!!

I may be all wrong, here.....but I don't think of it as "gripping" my bow. I'm allowing the bow grip to rest agaisnt the right spot on the inner part of my palm......the extension of my thumb(if you will). My fingers only rest on the front of the riser...because that's where they are most comfortable....and it assures me of no tension in my bow hand.

The "force" of holding the bow is applied by the fact that I'm at full draw. I don't "grip" my bow.

I hope this makes sense....and if not...I'm gonna learn something

i was suprised when i put the shutle t-lock 100 grain on after sighting in with field tip, didn't have to change a thing. right in the bulls eye

I may have mis-spoke there,I can`t imagine centering the grip in my palm,actually the area you spoke of between the thumb and index,but more on the left side of thethumb muscle,I don`t let the bow fall away after release though,I do own a sling but don`t use it because I dont let the bow fall away.
