For traditional gear like yours, keeping shots within 20–25 yards is smart, especially with a recurve — it keeps your accuracy and penetration high. As for quivers, yes, there are removable bow quivers designed for recurves. Many attach with a simple bracket and can be taken off easily for transport or when you want a lighter setup. Brands like Easton, Trophy Ridge, and QAD make options specifically for recurve bows. Make sure it doesn’t interfere with your arrow rest or release.

Five year old thread, much has changed 🤔.

I have two things to consider, one is accurate hits but I am more concerned about arrow energy of my 40 and 45lb draw weight. Years ago I shot 50-55lbs when I was younger from recurves so I wasn’t worried. After that shooting high energy compounds energy wasn’t a concern either. But now hunting with a 45lb recurve 20yrds on deer is about it for me.
In Ohio where I hunt getting deer at 20yds or less isn’t a problem.
One other thing is now we have much better broadheads and arrows than when I started out with recurves many years ago.

With my compounds and sights I can hit out to 60yds but limited shots on deer to 30yds.
With my recurve I’m confident to 20yds but just not use to the lower energy and no sights. Years ago when I hunted with recurves they were 50-55lbs and that was before compounds became popular.
I think I might really like hunting instinctively with a recurve. Sometimes sitting in a tree I would look at my high tech compound and think of a simpler time with my recurve and kind of missed that. I think I have a capable set up and I probably haven’t shot a deer over 25 yards in many years with my compound but I wish I was pulling a little heavier weight but now 45lbs is it.

I thought about a hip quiver but worry about it getting in the way, I carry my stand in and out every hunt.

I am shooting a Samick Sage. I hunt from tree stands and have before they started making them. I always used removable quivers with my compounds and removed them when in stand. This summer I will be practicing from stands shooting foam deer.
