Has anyone seen a decrease in performance out of their bow with limb mounted quivers?

I have been shooting a 48 Super Mag for about a year straight now with a Selway limb mounted quiver. I just took the quiver off tonight and wow. It made such a difference. The bow seems faster and seems to handle much better, less clunky. Has anyone else seems this with thier bows? If so explain your experience.

Thanks so much!

Was your quiver,pushed far up in past the fades towards the center as far as possible. Not on the limbs at all? JF

What Jeff said, couldn't have done it better myself.

I have not seen any decrease in performance. I have chrono'd and tuned bows with and without quivers, it has never made a difference for me.

I mainly used the selway slide-on or the great northern strap on quivers.

as mentioned above, I have seen a lot of photos over the years on this site of quivers mounted too far into the working part of the limb.

Dang, I didn't see this and just added a similar post. I went back to a back quiver after using limb quivers for a time. I had mine mounted on the fade outs and not on the limb. The limb quiver worked fine for some of my bows, but I got a reduction in consistency with my Toelke 52" Troll recurve. Took the quiver off that bow and the difference was amazing. I took the quivers off some of my other bows and paid close attention to my shooting. I did find my myself shooting more consistent with those bows too. I'm betting it has to be me doing something different. No matter, it isn't that big of a deal going back to a back quiver. I guess each of us has to find what feels and works best.

It may well be more important on a short bow to have the quiver as far down the fadeouts of the riser as possible.The magnum is a short bow without much working limb.Also the fadeouts on really short bows are not very long typically.They get thick pretty quick.

If you were using a selway I would wet the fadeout area with water and a tiny bit of dish soap and you can push it down farther.

I think most strap ons like Great northern and Eagles flight or Thunderhorn you can put them pretty for down from the fadeout.I think Eagles flight and Great northern are easier go farther down the fadeouts do thier design though vs the Thunderhorn.

Mounted to high up and your gonna rob some speed and also the free recovery of the limb.So its not gonna feel that great.

I hunt with bowquivers and really dont notice much difference in a bows shooting qualites.But it will balance a bit different and can actually quiet some bows and tame some handshock as well.

My Toelke Kestrel actually shot very well with an Eagles flight quiver.I hunted with that bow for 2 years.Shot great for me.I really like the smaller Eagles flight quivers very much.Four arrow hood for some room for 3 arrows with broadheads and 3 arrow gripper.Excellant rig.

Even with the quiver mounted down the fadeouts you you need to take the time to make sure its as tight as possible.

I have two bows with limb mounted quivers that have zero effect on limb performance. One is a Black Widow Recurve while the other is a Journeyman longbow. They are both 3-piece take-downs with rigid / static risers. As noted above, the quivers are pushed way up on the fades or tight against the riser and located on the totally rigid part of bow. I had a self bow that could not accommodate a quiver as the entire bow including the riser was active. In other words, the riser was not static and therefore was affected by the limb-mounted quiver.

No difference I use the three rivers mini boa works great

No difference for me. Maybe RISER quiver is a better name cause they should not be on the limbs. :)

I use the EFA without an issue.

Never really noticed or thought about it either.

Does anyone have a correctly mounted boa type quiver Pic? I think I have mine mounted to far on the limbs, If I can do it wrong I probably did, just my nature I guess. Pip

I have them on 10 bows and see no affect what's so ever

As long as they are mounted properly on the non-working prt of the fades its not gonna effect anything. I don't like em myself because my arrows are 32" and with that short a span between gripper points my arrows shake, rattle, n roll every shot.
