![]() ![]() I have tried using a couple of back quivers, but never found one that has worked for me. Though it can carry more I tend to only carry 3 or 4 arrows in the quiver with the rest being kept in an arrow tube on my back. A while back I covered what I carry on a shoot (here is the link to it). ![]() It is fairly standard as quivers of that kind go, with four tubes allowing you to carry 10-12 arrows if you ram them in, along with a couple of pockets for spare string, pens etc. Shortly after I got more seriously into the hobby I bought a leather field quiver out of a bargain basket at a local archery shop, when I really got hooked and I’ve been using it ever since. When I first started I made a simple leather quiver, just enough to carry three or four of the arrows I owned. Often quivers are one of the first things that archers buy when they start shooting. What is very clear is the choice of quiver can be as personal as the choice of bows, some people love back quivers while others hate them and prefer the convenience of the bow quivers. I’m also going to mention a mate of mine who has a quiver mounted on a walking stick, which offers both a method of carrying arrows and a useful aid when walking some field courses. The three most popular are in descending order, back, hip and then field quivers, though bow quivers were also very popular too. The results from the poll are shown below and it is interesting in the sheer diversity of styles. The feedback and response was awesome for which I’m very grateful. On the site I posted a simple poll and invited members contributions and thoughts on there. So what’s the appeal of one over another? We know they come in all shapes and sizes and I got wondering as to what people use and why? To answer this or rather to get more insight I thought I’d turn to the great internet for help and specifically a Facebook group I belong to “ Fellowship of the bow” which is mainly for traditional archers and it has a few thousand members. There is almost as much variety in quivers as there are in bows, back quivers, bow quivers, field quivers and more. This got me thinking about writing an article on the different types of quivers being used in archery. While I was writing the article on the traditional bowhunters style proposal in the NFAS recently, I got thinking about the different types of quivers that we use. ![]()
