To quiver or not to quiver
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but do you guys hunt with your quiver on or off your bow. Whats the downside to having it on your bow. I'm not talken bout the kind you can take on and off but the kind that stays on there even when you shoot.

RE: To quiver or not to quiver
I hunt with my quiver on the bow because i like to have about 4 arrows with me and it just seems like a pain to carry around a hip quiver, the only downside is that it adds weight to your bow and can be a little loud if you dont put limbsavers on it....but im not takin it off anytime soon.

My stays on the bow while I'm hunting. Last year, had a chance for a second shot after I blew the first and it's nice to have an arrow right there where you can grab it.

I shoot with mine on. I never used to but that was when I had a detachable quiver and it wasn't snugly fit to the bow. I now have a two piece quiver (4 arrow) that is rock solid. I can't think of an honest drawback to having my quiver on my bow. I've been shooting with in on now for a year and wouldn't dream of taking it off.
The quiver is the key to wether or not you can shoot with it on your bow.

my quiver goes on the bow until I get to the tree, then it gets hung up. I prefer it this way because it allows me to hold my bow that much more steady if I am at full draw for some time. it allows for better balance in my case. but walking around, it stays on the bow.

I think it also depends upon where and what you are hunting. I don't know many elk hunters that take their quiver off. Yes I have seen Will Primos do it and a few other on videos, but very few hunters in the west that are not hunting in a tree stand take their quiver off.
