I used to use bow quivers on all of my bows but quite a while ago I haven't been using a bow quiver on my bows. I definitely like the feel of it. I tuned things without using a bow quiver. I'm using a side quiver now .
The downside to not using a bow quiver, in my personal opinion, is that it is not as convenient and "compact" while hunting.
I decided to put on my Selway quick detach quiver , well below the fade outs, and my arrows were definitely not flying the same. The whole dynamic of my setup had changed.
Is there anyway around this because I really don't want to switch arrow setups . :archer2:

How much have you shot since putting the quiver on?
Years ago when I first put a Selway quiver on my longbow I found that my arrows were impacting 4 to 6" left.
RH shooter. After I continued to shoot my brain reprogrammed and I started hitting good.
Now I can take my quiver off and shoot and put it on and shoot the same with no issues.
The added weight on your bow doesn't allow the same side movement when you shoot.

When you say "well below the fade outs" does that mean they're beyond the fade outs on the limb or well up onto them.  It should be the latter.

Regardless, a bow quiver sometimes can contribute to the arrows impacting left (for a right hand shooter). When that seems to occur, which is not very often, I find that taking a somewhat tighter grip helps bring them back into lines. I also concentrate a bit more on maintaining a solid bow arm.

I've never really had an issue with it.  Perhaps, like dnovo, my mind just adjusted for it.

I slide my quiver towards the grip/shelf , past the fade-outs
