joebobhunter4 Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 who shoots with there quiver on? who shoots with it off? what are the advantages? what are the dis advantages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? As soon as I am in my stand, the quiver comes off, and gets hung on a hook off to my right side. I like the way my bow feels without the quiver. I am just more comfortable without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? i use a quiver but its not attached to my bow...i have it tied on to my backpack...kind of like how michael waddell does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tunkhannockbowhunter Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? no quiver for me either. the arrows in it will vibrate and make excess noise, and when its on it is just a hassle because the arrows are sticking all over the place which makes it harder to manuever.

AJ Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? I use a hip quiver. It lightens up the load in my hand while walking to and from the stand. It makes the bow easier to hold up for extended periods of time (full day of shooting). It keeps the bow balanced better when it does not have all that weight on one side. I hunted about 15 years with a quiver attached to the bow and then I tried a hip quiver. I have been using the hip quiver for 12 years now. I love them.

lil hunter Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? I always shoot with the quiver on. it's just a lot easier to grab a new arrow. If for some reason the arrow falls off when i'm up in the treestand, I don't wanna be fumblin around tryin to get a new arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddhunter Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? I take mine off when I get to the stand and hang it in arms reach, sitting and standing. I feel with it on the bow it just gives the deer more to spot when moveing to get a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kunegos Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? No quiver when I'm shooting. I use the kwikee- it goes right on the tree once I get up in the stand. Arrows are in reach but not in the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntrman Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? This is a good topic. As for me, I don't have a quiver on when I'm shooting, but I like it on when going to the stand, which reminds me, I need a new quiver for my hoyt.

PAhardwoods Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? when i'm walking to stand i have it on my bow and when i get in stand it gets hung in the tree.......but i often practice with the quiver on my bow so that if i have to shoot on my way to stand i'm use to how the bow feels with it on Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? Hip quiver and have done this for 14 years. It lightens the bow, cuts down on any extra vibrations, makes getting another arrow more convenant for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchand99 Posted August 7, 2005 Report Share Posted August 7, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? [ QUOTE ] on to the stand off in the stand [/ QUOTE ] Same here.I keep it off because, 1-I don't care if deer can't see color I'm not going to flash my bright fletchings around. 2-I don't want my arrows to hang on a vine or anything else(I like alot of cover) 3-Less noise 4-less weight to hold up I really don't see an advantage to keeping it on.I hang mine beside my stand fletchings up,and can grab another just as fast as if it were on my bow.

archerjg Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? I shoot with it both ways. When I hunt it is always on and full. For me it is an advantage as a counter weight to help me keep the bow straight and I have the arrows close if happen to miss and get a follow up shot.

GWSmith Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver?

Tominator Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? Quiver off for me--mostly because of weight and noise issues. I can see one disadvantage to this strategy--it's tough to get a follow up arrow if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Re: quiver or no quiver? I do 90% of my shooting with it off. I do practice a little with it on and with different amounts of arrows in it. If I'm in a treestand, groundblind or any stationary setup, the quiver is off. But, if I'm doing some kind of stalking, the quiver is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
