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 like to keep it 20 yds and under.

A hip or pack quiver ain’t a bad way to go if you don’t want to shoot with a quiver on

 

Perfect 0-22 yard set up point on at 20 for me except full length 500's.

 

20 yards for me. I like a back quiver. My brother-in-law made me one years ago and I really liked it so i started using it. I was always taking the bow quiver off anyway. I could never get comfortable with it on in a stand.

 

I determine my effective range via practice. I expect kill zone shots at least 9 of 10 arrows. This year my effective range will be 15 yards, the shortest since I started in 1968. I don't like quivers on the bow. I carry arrows separately or remove a bow quiver when I arrive on stand. There was a time years ago when I used bow quivers. I recall times I've "hid" behind my arrows as deer approached.
