detachable quiver on or off
 

what is everybodies preference shoot with quiver on or off.

RE: detachable quiver on or off
 

I'll go with OFF. I hate shooting with them on, but do take a few practice shots when I'm done broadhead tuing and then again every time I have a practice session with it on. Figure I'd best be able to shoot both ways.

I have an alpine archery 5 arrow quiver and I ussually keep it on while hunting and shooting. It's low profile so it does stay out of the way. Apine archery also utilizes a rubber mounting bracket that in my opinion works to dampen vibration. I shoot an 70# Mathews Sq2 and constantly get complimented on how quiet it is. Who knows that may be the reason?
It's a matter of personal preference, my preference is to shoot with it on.

I have a kwikee kwiver that locks down tightly onto my Mathews so it doesn't make any sound. I also have limbsavers on it to dampen the noise. The quiver's weight does affect the bow's accuracy somewhat by canting it slightly. It does not affect it enough for hunting purposes at ranges out to 40 yds, even with broadheads (fixed or mechanical). Whatever you do make sure you practice with it either on or off and hunt that exact same way. I personally always practice with it on because I hunt with it on. Consistency is the key. If you can't make up your mind shoot with it both ways and see which one you like better and only shoot that way. It may not affect arrow flight for you, but it does affect the feel of the bow, which is important for consistency. I don't mind shooting with it off, but I have been shooting with it on for years and I don't want to change it.

Good Hunting!

I always detach my quiver as soon as I get to my stand.

Off.

I take mine off once in the stand. I have a second quiver mounting bracket which is sewed on a loop of belt fabric which slides over the safety belt that fastens to the tree. So once I'm belted in, I fasten the quiver to that bracket.

Happy Hunting

I'v got a quicke quiver too & usually take it off once on stand. I practice with it on minus an arrow sometimes & found that out to 30 or so yards it doesn't change impact much at all. Much harder to hold steady in windy conditions tho.

I prefer it off since thats the way I shoot all summer at 3-D shoots. I use a piece of coat hanger to wrap around a small limb with a small hook on the other end to hang a detachable quiver on. Its right next to me if I need it.

RE: detachable quiver on or off
 

As soon as my feet hit the platform, my quiver comes off.

In all my years of bowhunting I think I might have shot 2 deer with my quiver attached. Both were shot from the ground. I hunt mostly from tree stands these days and mine comes off as soon as my bow reaches the stand.

I think the key word here is detatchable quiver.
as soon as I get to where I need to be the quiver comes off.

Bigpapascount I like to still hunt and I hate having my quiver which happends to be a detachable quiver on my bow I actually attched it to my hip sack. No need for sarcasim

RE: detachable quiver on or off
 

Sorry
I was not trying to be sarcastic.

why dont you just buy a good hip quiver instead?

I re-discovered Kwikees this year after trying to find something better.....apparently it doesn't exist. ;)

The brackets are cheap as dirt allowing you to permanently affix one to any object you think you may be next to during a "venison event". The brackets are also lightweight which is a plus when mounted to the bow. Price-wise, I don't think they can be beat for what you get.

Detachables enable you to grab an arrow on the walk in to your stand, hoist the bow/arrow combo up in one shot, and shoot unencumbered once you're on stand. This is all assuming you have a treestand strapped to your back.

The only disadvantage I can see is the heavier bow with the quiver/bracket/bow combo if you happen to get a shot on the hike in or out.

OFF......OFF......OFF!

Good Luck!
