Does anyone have an issue with grouping with he quiver attached, I always shoot without one but since I am stalking antelope it doesn't seem an option. With it attached my groups go to chit I take it off and I can group a baseball at 80 yards.

an apex. I guess it is causing me to torque my bow but I have never had a problem with it in the past. going to try a rear stabilizer at an angle to see if it offsets the weight. Fingers crossed

Instead of a rear bar going out at an angle you might look at PSE or Stoker. They both have "stabilizers" that mount perpendicular to your bow on the opposite side of your quiver, they don't make your setup as wide as it would be with a back bar angled out to the side. You can also slide the weight forwards or back on them if your bow is nose heavy or if the bottom kicks forward when you shoot. My old bow has a 5 arrow Tight Spot on it, it's a great quiver but I still hate the way it feel with the weight of it plus 4 arrows hanging off the side of it feels when I shoot with it on. The new bow has a Quivalizer and I love shooting with it on and loaded up. The weight is where it's useful and the weight pulling the bow to one side is negligible.

I typically do not practice with my quiver on my bow as that is usually not how I hunt. However, if I know I will be hunting with my quiver on I need to sight my bow in accordingly. With the added weight on the side of my bow I will torque it and my arrow groups are different when compared to shooting without a quiver.

Make an adjustment to your pack that allows your quiver to be accessible without getting in the way. I used to have the same dilemma until I did that.

I may end up doing that but when I am bowhunting antelope I have not been taking my pack. I am gonna try the tight spot quiver and see if allows me to not torque since it is so close to the riser. If that fails I am going to take a pack. Of course my bow is not shooting right so about to drive to billings to get it worke on again. They are having trouble getting it in tune and the timing right.
I also shoot the tight spot and have shot my bowtech experience with and without the quiver and it groups the same for me. Hope it works for you. I like to take the quiver off when it is windy. Without wind, I like the quiver as it adds weight to the bow and makes it super steady at full draw.
I bought one this evening and returned it. it was bad off. not sure how it can get that bad in two weeks. will try shooting tomorrow at lunch. thanks guys

How old are your strings and how long does your bow sit in a hot vehicle before you take it out to shoot it?
The strings are new well about 5 weeks old and I don't leave it in my truck typically. I for the most part leave it at home unless I am hunting. However after it shot bad the other day and time management I brought it to work this week to shoot it. However it is not really hot. Today it is not getting out of the high 60's

If they aren't high end strings and your bow spent some time in a hot rig, even just foe an hour or two, it could have likely caused the strings to stretch, given how new they are.

I have had a Tight Spot on my Mathews ChillR. Mount sucks up nice and tight to bow. No issues. Look into one.. Great quiver. Girlfriend has on her Mathews SDX as well..

I used to, then I switched to a CAT quiver a few years ago. I love it for stalking, always out of the way. Only issue I have had is sometimes getting arrows with broadheads back into quiver. Not difficult, you just need to pay attention.
