a couple of quivers

Recommended Posts

Here are a couple of quivers I have made in the past. The castle quiver was for a friend's little boy who loves all things knightly. His Dad's formed quiver was made on a wooden form I carved and has my friends arms on it It sets so the arrows are always at hand and no bow bump is necessary to retrieve an arrow as you see with most back quivers.

The castle rocks! Cool idea!

They way I work I think I would end up spilling them arrows out of the quiver of the first one, but that's me and I'm not into archery..yet.

It is specifically designed for the type of shooting we do in the SCA. If the quiver is constructed properly, when you round your back to bend over the arrows will be held in place and not end up on the ground in front of you. A deeper quiver slows your draw down. Using that depth quiver with a special strap to keep it in the right place you should be able to get off eight to ten aimed arrows in thirty seconds. The normal quivers you see commercially are usually to deep and ride to high on the shoulder. The only way to get arrows out is to push the bottom of the quiver with your bow hand.
