    Exactly. Even though I can shoot both ways I've always taken mine off on the stand. I don't want to be trying to get my bow off the hook and get positioned with a quiver full of white wrapped and fletched arrows waving around. Even if they weren't white it's just a lot more mass to be moving around at the moment of truth.

    White fletched arrows won't get you busted any quicker then black fletched arrows. ;) My quiver never comes off. Too many Important positives In having It on- quieter bow, less movement In a tree, quicker when getting an arrow with It attached.

    Mine stays on. Partly because its a pain to get off with the screw that holds it to my bow. Idk why bowtech made it like this but it is an '03 model lol. Also I dont shoot any different with it on and it is nice having an arrow so close in case I miss. Never had it spook a deer before.

    My thoughts exactly, I screw in the the bow holder and the quiver holder before I even pull the bow up.

    Same here, except for a couple years back. Whacked a doe from the ground, while walking to my afternoon stand.

    I take mine off because I practice with it off - I don't want to change anything up when I get into a real shoot to kill situation. That blasted thing could throw me off a little bit and cause me to make a form adjustment that will cause me to miss totally or make a less than perfect shot.

    Simply put - WITHOUT

    Mine is on the bow until I get into the stand. Then, it hangs to my left and the bow to the right.

    I plan on using a hip quiver. So I don't have to worry about a quiver on the bow at all.

    Off and it never goes on my bow. I have two quikee quivers (6 arrow and 3 arrow) that I attach to my backpacks (4)which all have a kwikee receiver on them. When I get to the tree I take the quiver off the pack and usually hang it or leave it on the pack.
