But it certainly is a factor that lends itself to a more efficient handling and shooting weapon.ДЇor the last decade and a half, I've used a hip quiver almost exclusively. A bow with a quiver can be more unwieldy. The same can be said in a still-hunting situation, where you must hold your bow at your side, oftentimes with an arrow nocked, while tiptoeing through the woods. This is why treestand hunters like to remove their quivers when they arrive on stand, so the bow is more streamlined, easier to maneuver, and quicker to point and shoot. One thing that's hard to argue with is this: A bow without a quiver is a dream to hold and handle, because it sits in the hand perfectly plumb.

A good two-piece quiver, or a long-stem, one-piece model (i.e. Much of this has to do with the overall design of the quiver, though. Although I consider a well-designed quiver with a snug shaft-gripper pretty darn quiet (given all the arrows are stuffed in the hood solidly, with the broadhead tips tight), arrows do tend to rattle loose during practice sessions and long hikes in the mountains, causing that dreaded 'buzz effect' when shooting. Besides improved consistency, a bow without a quiver tends to shoot quieter.
