struttinhoyt Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 (edited) Once you get in the stand.... Do you leave your quiver on or do you take it off and put it some where?... me personally when I'm in my Summit Viper I usually use the strap that packs my stand together to go around the tree and strap my quiver to it....

toddyboman Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I always take my quiver off my bow.....It gets hunt somewhere in the tree....Usually on my ez hanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I started taking it off a couple years ago. I usually use the excess line from my safety harness attachment rope and tie my quiver to it. From experience, anything not tied to the tree has a good chance of ending up on the forest floor 30 feet below me. A real pain when you have a climber.

hutchies Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I actually mounted a quiver bracket to the side of my stand. I just take it lose and slide it into the quiver bracket and I'm good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I strap it to the tree once I get all settled in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterLuke Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I have a quick question but I don't want to hi-jack the post, I see that alot of people take their quiver off when hunting, Why is that? reduce vibration/noise after the shot or make the bow lighter? Sorry for the off-topic question. I may have to start taking mine off now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the off-topic question. I may have to start taking mine off now. I suppose there are a couple reasons. 1. The less things I'm moving around getting ready for my shot the better. The chances of an arrow falling out of the quiver as you rasie your bow are low, but zero when it isn't attached. In addition with the quiver off there is less chance of me snagging a branch with it as I prepare for the shot. 2. Less weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Actually most people take it off because that added weight makes you tend to cant the bow to the side. The more you cant the bow the more left or right arrow flight you will get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhino Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Actually most people take it off because that added weight makes you tend to cant the bow to the side. The more you cant the bow the more left or right arrow flight you will get. Ditto. Also assuming you don't put a death grip on your bow, when you release your arrow the added weight to the quiver's side of your bow will cause it drop off in that direction. If you practice shooting with your quiver off, you should hunt with it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 I practice with it on and leave it on. Not only is another arrow immediately available if needed, it serves as cover. A bow with a rack full of arrows really breaks up your outline. Many times hiding behind my bow w/arrows was just enough to put the deer at ease. On the ground and in a tree.

Tony Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 my quiver goes in my pack with the fletching up. when i get to the tree i hang my pack. this way i can get to an arrow easily and they are out of the way. i always shoot without my quiver on, but if your going to be doing any spot and stalk hunting, it might be a good idea to pratice shooting with it on.

woolybear Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Leave mine on. It's the way I shoot the bulls-eyes. It's the way I shoot the bucks. Would hate to second guess a shot op if lack of time to undress my bow were ever to become an issue. Practice and hunt with a shirt on too for the same reason. Probably saved myself a few hundred bucks over the years not laying my quiver on the forest floor when I get to tracking hit critters.

mike13candace Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Do not use a qwiver. Carry arrows in a backpack. Arrow sling is removable. Strap to tree when I settle in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY_Bowhunter14 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I will usually take mine off and put it in my backpack, which i have hanging next to me on the tree... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backwoods07 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Like most of these guys, I take it off and hang it either on a bow hook or a tree limb that's out of my way yet still in arms reach. If I have absolutely nowhere to put it, I'll take an arrow out and rest the individual arrow somewhere and tie the quiver to the bow hoist and lower it to the ground.

bluelund79 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I leave it on the bow. Otherwise, the hip quiver with the fun arrows is on the back pack...Now that I have a Primos vest, got to find a new way to keep those "handy" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
