    Just wondering what you have to say,
    pro's vs cons.

    I can only think of less bulk, less weight etc...

    Whada you say.....

    I take mine off when I get in the stand and hang it on a hook next to me. Less parts moving and less weight.

    I actually don't think I have ever shot my bow with my quiver on.

    My old quiver made noise when attached, I now have a Mathews T- series and its not noisy but it does create vibration during shots. I think the answer you will find is if its a two piece then of course they shoot with it on, and if its a quick detach then they shoot with it off.

    I do both. The bracket for the quick release was broken so i shot with it off for a while. Now that i have a new bracket i shoot with it on. I haven't noticed any difference but that's just me.

    I always practice with it on and I don't notice any real difference. I have the T-Series Quiver so even when it is off the bow, the vibration from the attachment arm lingers more with it off than on. Limbsaver tape would fix it, but leaving it on does just fine.

    I practice with the quiver off so I hunt with the quiver off.

    I have a 2 piece that I really like and have never taken off. I was thinking that I might replace it with a removable one though. Might just wait till I get my new bow next year!

    Same here...Quiver off. Just remove it when I get to the stand and hang it in the tree. My bow shoots quieter and with less vibration when it is removed.

    What Bry said. All it does for me is contain arrows during the walk in. It's just another potential item to snag onto something or to make noise.

    I practice with it the quiver on and off but take it off when in the tree.
    My problem is with the Mathews quivers even when you take it off you still have the bracket on your bow, so I've been using a backpack with built in quiver.

    Besides more mobility. I shoot alot of white on my fletchings, so with quiver on it would be like waving a white flag when moving. I shoot with mine off in the tree and while Turkey hunting!
