Shooting with a quiver attached

[Samdemarais]

I have been shooting a recurve for a few years now but find I shoot much better without a quiver attached. I have tried to go back to keeping it attached but it’s just not the same. I shoot a 60” Toelke chinook. Biggest issue is the riser torques to the left (left handed bow) and then the string rotates more to the right towards my bow arm at release and I hit my arm with the string much more frequently. Anyone have any suggestions or advice for shooting with a quiver mounted to the bow. I have tried a selway and great northern quiver, own the gn now. Thanks.

I have a couple bows like that. If you want to shoot with a quiver on you will probably have to make adjustments with your grip (knuckles 45 degrees) and rotate your bow arm elbow out at the beginning of the draw.

Those are good fundamentals but some bows you really have to be on your game at each shot.

I would just run it without a bow quiver so it will be more forgiving in a hunting situation and figure out how you want to carry your arrows. I recommend a side quiver from Safari Tuff.

I feel like my selway improved the shot. Probably just the fact that adding some weight added stability.

I’m using an ILF, and even with the option of adding an offset bare bow weight to balance it out, I just haven’t actually felt a need. But, I’m not an expert shooter at all. Just barely getting to a point where I feel like I can start hunting with it.
