Yes you will needed to remove your quiver with either the factory quiver mount or if you have a top mount quiver bracket such as the Munch Mount. There is room to strap the quiver in the case. The case only comes with 2 accessory straps and it should have at least 4. It is possible to make your own. I will be doing that later on. There is loads of room to store your hunting gear though.

Ok great, thanks. I just noticed the quiver comes off rather easily with a thumb nut. I was worried I had to take the bracket itself off also. Brought the case home tonight, so hopefully by later tonight I will have it all put together.
Do you guys store your x-bow in the case ?? I know foam firearm cases can absorb moisture and cause rusting, but I guess there is not to much to rust on my x-bow except maybe for the trigger assembly.
I do not store mine in the case. I have a handmade holder made out of red oak. I put some fluid film on any bolt heads or screw heads and threads before I put them together. Before I had to take a medical leave from work, I was the person who assembled all of the crossbows that the store was selling. By using the Fluid Film it would work well so the bolts and nuts and screws and any metal parts would not rust. I would not use that on the camo mainframes. I wasn't sure if it would have any effect on the camo on the mainframe.

I just got my case tonight and it is a beauty. I have a munch mount and it fit perfectly with the quiver off. Lots of room for both my exomag and vortex (one at a time of course). There is so much room i might even be able to put both of them in if I took off the scopes. May have to try that tomorrow in the interest of science of course.
Now my biggest issue is where to put it when not in use as it is too tall to fit under the bed with my other rifle cases.
380 Matrix, Vortex, Y25, Exomag and Brown Vixen
Boo Strings & Big John Arrows to hit 'em
DaGriz Knife and Hatchet Set to Skin 'em

I would say that when you sink in the limbs in the top foam (seperating it where the pre-cut slits are made) and using the two tie-down velco straps at the stock, it should plenty enough. My excal is very snug in the case - ain't gonna move around in there.
Also, as its made of a solid piece of aluminum, there's really no flex that would need to be supported imo.
