Can a quiver make you shoot better?

Apparently for me the answer is yes. After waffling over a Tightspot quiver for a good year I finally found a deal on a used one and pulled the trigger. It\'s almost laughable saying a deal on a quiver when it was still 80 dollars, but compared to the 139 for a new one, I would say it\'s a deal. I got a black with the rubber insert and it has a magnet in the hood that helps hold the arrows in place.

First impressions...what\'s not to like. It\'s built like a brick sh** house. The attachment from quiver to bow is rock solid and the detach is quick and easy...one handed. The rubber hood with the magnet is slick and not having to deal with foam is nice. On the other end it has tension screws to adjust how tight it holds the shafts. Awesome setup.

Mounting...The quiver mount allows the user almost u limited adjustments as far as cant and placement. This is probably the best part of the setup. By adjusting the angle of the quiver you can fine tune the balance on your bow. It holds close to the bow, really close.

I replaced an alpine detachable 4 arrow quiver. I hated that thing. It stuck out like a sore thumb and when it was mounted I had to use hand torque to keep the bow level. When I would setup for an ambush or calling I would always take it off because I didn\'t shoot nearly as well with it on vs off. I can confidently say I actually shoot better with the Tightspot vs the barebow. Hard to believe but the TS allowed me to balance the bow better and remove all hand torque.

If anybody has any questions let me know! I use a slider sight so I had to use the adapter that worked great. It added a little weight to the setup but added even more adjustability.

I have a TS on both my bows. eBay for both of them. Hands down, the best quivers I\'ve ever owned.

I was apprehensive at first because 1 piece quivers have always been noisier for me but the TS is like adding silencers! So adustable and I like the way they help balance out my bows.

Personally, I don\'t think a quiver helps you shoot any better. However, I don\'t think a quiver makes you shoot any worse either. I never take mine off of my bow. And when I target practice, I keep 4 arrows in the quiver. I suppose it\'s all in what you get used to.

WW I guess the question would be which quivers are you comparing? I\'d bet you a beer if you took 2 quivers of someone else\'s choosing, a quality quiver and a cheapie, you\'d shoot better with the quality quiver. I guess you could get use to anything but in my case having that cheapie quiver that made my bow want to can\'t to the quiver side negatively impacted my shooting. Like you I shot all summer with it attached.

The Tightspot actually helping with the feel or the balance of a bow i s due to the fact that you can bring the weight closer to the bow. Before the Tightspot this wasn\'t really possible because all of the quivers I know of mounted far away from the bow. I think this is very similar to loading a pack with meat. It is tough to manage if you pack it as far away as possible from your back.

I really like my Tightspot. I do think I can shoot better with it off and using a sidebar though. Compared to other quivers I\'ve owned, it\'s not even close. It basically comes down to how you intend to hunt. Before I started elk hunting my quiver always came off once I got in my stand so I never had a need for adjustability or balance in a quiver. Once I decided to head out west and realized I would likely be shooting with a quiver, the Tightspot became a much important accessory than before!
