Did anyone else mount their quiver with the arrows pointing down?

[BowmanMike]

I had my quiver mounted with the arrow tips pointing up and it really threw my bow off balance,so much that i wasn't going to shoot with it attached no matter what. 

I decided to mount it to the bottom.of the bow with the arrow tips pointing down and wow,does that feel better. It is actually so much better that it acts like a rear stabilizer. I don't think i will take it off in the stand either. 

I am shooting a halon x pro and it is a little top heavy,so maybe this doesn't work with every bow,but if you feel your bow feels weird with the quiver on try switching it. I can not believe the difference on mine. It went from a nuisance to a plus.

Interesting concept. I do t thinking have ever seen that done before. 

 

I never take my arrows off. I practice with them on so I figure I need to keep everything the same all the time for repetitiveness.

You using a strap on quiver?

[DirtTime]

I have seen two piece quivers you can mount that way. If I put my quiver on upside down, it throws off all balance, and the arrows are so high over the bow they catch on everything walking in or out. I rareley shoot with my quiver on the bow, but I always keep the tips pointed up.

I have not tried flipping quiver, but have not found that the quiver affects the accuracy of the bow at the distances that I practice at (

I think the "up concept" came with the intent of not having the quiver collecting brush, leaves, water, or whatever. It also gives the arrows a way to fall out of the quiver since they are not likely to fall up in your scenario.

Interesting concept.

Main reason I use hip quiver never have to worry about on or off bow to shoot, arrows are readily available when stalking . And it holds 8 arrows which let's me carry a couple judo points,and or turkey heads  During the season.

Compound and Xbow I never attach quiver. It’s my backpack when I walk around and when I sit to hunt I lay it next to me. Idk how anyone shoots with one on. I never even tried but just looks distracting

No,a matthews web quiver for 4 arrows that bolts on. It is reversible. It really tipped my bow to the right when i had it mounted on the top right side. I felt like i had to torque my grip too balance the bow,never a good thing. I think i might never take it off now. The difference is crazy,like putting your left boot on the right foot,not that that ever happened to me...

My quiver is on the right side of the bow,i am a right hand shooter. It is completely out of the way of everything.

[doebuck1234]

I use detachable.only time its on is my walk to/from.slide it off and sits next to me when in stand/on ground.have never tried keeping it on but tips up,its habit

 

[TreeGuy]

X2 on detachable. I have shot the bow with it on there and didn't notice any difference in accuracy, but I would recommend you mount it whatever way is best for you !

Quivers are vastly different. Some really put weight out there to change the side to side balance. I've tried it before but didnt care for it enough. Honestly the best quicker you can own is a Tightspot.

Years ago, when people first started putting quivers on bows, the broad heads were covered by a snap on hood.  The hood could be removed from the arrows when they were still in the quiver.  Having the broad heads pointing down was a recipe for disaster as they could easily pierce anything they had the occasion to jab into.  It was considered safer to have them pointing up to prevent most injuries.  Apparently, it was a common problem.  I believe today's attached quivers simply followed that rule.  It also seems to be easier for most archers to nock them when they are grabbed with the broad head up.  Today there is a lot more flexibility with quivers, but when recurves were the norm, quivers were mounted with broad heads pointing up in at least 90% of the cases.

The big decision then, was whether to mount the quiver with the arrows on the string side of the bow, or sticking out past the front of the bow.  String side was always preferred for it's compact quality, but sometimes the arrows, or the protective hood, would not fit without hitting the limbs.

Always carry with Tips up, but upon getting to the location, I remove the quiver.  Easier to maneuver the bow and arrows right beside me

[loworange88]

Tips up on mine, but its only attached to the bow for walking in/out.  While on stand I remove it and hang it via the loop at the top, or I added a big twist tie to attach it to the stand rail.

[BowmanMike]

I used to remove my quiver as well as soon as i got to the stand,but i think i am keeping this one on the bow at all times.

[Hock3y24]

No, don’t want moisture dripping into the foam for the broadheads. I take it off when I’m tree anyway.

Unnecessary weight tho

The first thing I do when in the stand is take the quiver off and hang it.

Try shooting bareshafts with quiver on and off.  You will see a difference.  As a general rule, the more weight you add to the bow, the stiffer the arrow reacts.  So tune however you plan to shoot the bow, whether quiver on or off. 

[grampy]

Quiver never comes off. Practice, hunting, walking. I don't even think about it being there, cause it always is. And being a ground hunter, it's almost like added 'cover' attached to the bow arm?

Good thought moog,i haven't shot a bareshaft with it on. Going to see what happens tonight.

More weight let's you hold steadier generally. I dont care about those several ounces difference,my bow is heavy to begin with.

[mlammerhirt]

Once I started shooting 3d I realized how much a mounted quiver effects accuracy. Now I make it a point to remove the quiver once in the stand, and only practice with the quiver off.

Shot a bareshaft at 20 yds and fieldpoints. Great group,no change from before. My quiver stays on! Upside down,but it is right for me.
