    Default quiver trouble

    My bow is consistently shooting six inches to the left with the quiver on. When I take the quiver off, I'm dead on. Has anyone ever had this happen? It's a tru-glo quiver mounted to a tru-glo sight...they should be compatible. I usually just shoot with the quiver off, but it would be nice to have it functioning properly when stalking game.

    the extra weight of the quiver is causing you to torque the bow

    rebel is right..extra weight causin torque on the bow...most sights have quiver mounts on them and the older sights require you to have one long bolt that runs through the quiver and the sight bracket..doesnt matter what sight and quiver you have on it..

    You can get a level to go on the sight which won't fix your problem but it will tell you if you are torqueing the bow or not. They are cheap and if you are going to shoot with the bow on you need to develop good form with it. Putting the level on your sight will give you a way of knowing how far to rotate the bow back to get it on level.

    I hunt with a level on my bow but the only times I really need to check it are when I am shooting at a funky angle.
    If you don't know me how could I offend you?

    If you are not a member of Delta or DU then you are living on duck welfare.

    I have a level on my sight and I usually pay attention to the bubble when shooting...maybe I need to shoot some more with the quiver and watch the level more closely. Hopefully, it is just poor form due to the weight of the quiver. I looked at the Fuse sidekick stabilizer, but it's around $100 bucks.

    the level will help but it isnt from the deisgn of the quiver its from its weight..all quivers are compatible with all sights except the few quivers that mount at the top and bottom of the riser such as a mathews quiver
