Traditional Archery Quiver

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to make a traditional archery quiver, the kind that you wear on your back. I was wondering if anyone has a link to a site that might have information on this or if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

It seems like a lot of cultures practiced archery. So, a "traditional quiver" can mean a lot of different styles (and a lot of those are worn on the back)..

You want a Navajo-style quiver? Robin Hood? Ainu? Mongol? Scythian? Parthian?

Try using Google Images to research different styles ... this tool is your new best friend (okay maybe not that good, but still pretty good):

I suggest definitely avoid making a standard arrow canister like you'd see on the movie set for "Robin Hood".

Make something really different!

Was that helpful? I tried to give you a good start and fill yer head with craziness ... :blahblahblah:

Good luck! :rolleyes:

There are some threads with leather quivers on tradgang.com. just do a search and you'll get lots of pictures.

Yeah actually making something different and unique does sound more appealing. Thanks for the suggestion.
