Bullfrog, I've done it and it doesn't effect the quiver staying in place at all. Just make sureto cut only the bottom ear on both pieces. As a matter of fact I've got that quiver mounted on my new Whisperstik.

Bill, Hope this helps. I originally cut the ears off for another bow but as you can see it still works like it was intended.

I recently traded quivers with a fellow who sent me a Boa that had been modified like this.  I was not familiar with it and sent an email asking about the cutting.   :confused:  

After he explained, I tried it and love it.   :bigsmyl:
