Hunt with quiver attached to bow?

RE: Hunt with quiver attached to bow?
I haven' t hunted with a bow mounted quiver AT ALL in the last 6 years. I HATE the stupid things. Noisy, knock your bow out of balance, ugly monstrosities if you ask me.
I have been using a Catquiver1 for the last 2 seasons and it works out great. I wear it when I climb, slip it off and strap it to the tree. The little pouch on top holds what little gear I need with no need for a fanny pack..... kills 2 birds (and hopefully a deer) at the same time.

I hunt with mine off unless I' m stalking. The extra weight seems to tip my bow to the right. I never noticed it until I bought a sight with a level in it. If I would practice with it off for a while, no problem. Then I' d break out the bow with a full quiver and draw back the first arrow and notice the bow tilting to that side! For 3D shoots I use a hip quiver. Most everyone else I see there does also - probably for the same reason.

I hunt with mine on. I use a 2 piece quiver because its lighter, quieter and solid. Years ago when I shot fingers, I used to shoot 3-Ds with the quiver on and arrows attached.

I shoot a very light bow so when the quiver is on it really seems lopsided and out of balance. I practice both on and off...more accurate with it off, but I feel comfortable taking certain shots with it on just in case.
I' ve been thinking about that Cat Quiver...I' m too cheap. Anyone use a side quiver fro Bheads while hunting?

I hunt with mine on always. I like having the second shot readily available, whether for a miss or a second deer. (It' s come in handy for both!) I rest my bow across the rail of my stand, and it just lays better with the quiver on. I' ve shot with it off, anbd it just mak4ed the bow too light for me. I like the stabilizing weight that it provides. It' s just what I' ve always done, and it' s what I' m used to.

RE: Hunt with quiver attached to bow?
i started taking mine off because i lay my bow in my lap and then i started practicing without it attatched and decided i was much more acurate. It weighs down the bow a little so i tend to start wobbling faster or shoot high.
