    I take mine off just so i can lay my bow in my lap, but if I decide to hang my bow while in the stand then I put it back on. Also I practice shooting with it both ways; it doesn't seem to make a difference in my shooting.

    Off. Just makes me feel better. I can't say that it helps anything, just makes me feel better about it.

    I use a climber so I take off the quiver and lay my bow across the upper part of my climber. Since I self film it allows me to keep one hand on my bow and one hand on my camera at all times. The quiver just gets in the way and gets hung up on the padding.

    Out west, almost don't have a choice but to leave it on. Unless the few instances of tree stand hunting, stalks and impromptu set ups are always changing. Too easy to forget about your quiver when pursuing a 205" muley or 385" bull.

    I hunt in W. Texas where 10-20mph winds are the norm. I take it off so as to nor catch as much wind resistance against the bow

    Use your bow hunting like you do when practicing. I never have my quiver on when target shooting so when I hit the woods its on until I reach my stand.

    I take mine off. I have been doing it for years. A lot of newer quivers are lighter and they vibrate less than in years past. Do whatever feels most comfortable to you.

    Off as soon as I get to the stand. I put a eye bolt on the top and it hooks on extra bow holder hooks.
