Best Quivers for Traditional, Target and Recurve Bows

A bow quiver is a container that holds bolts, darts, or arrows and bow accessories.  Depending on what the archer prefers, a quiver can be attached to the bow, the ground, or to the body.  Materials used to make quivers were traditionally furs, wood, and leather.  Modern day quivers are generally made of plastic or metal. In the medieval days, quivers were simple arrow bags made from a cloth sack with a drawstring.  A leather spacer was used at the top of the bag to separate the arrows.  These were put on the ground or tucked into a belt, and some had rope or straps sewn on to make them easier to carry.

Main Types of Bow Quivers

Best quiver: here are several types of quivers, the most common being the belt style.  The belt quiver is usually shaped like a cylinder or flat and hangs from the belt. The way the quiver is worn varies.  It can be tilted forward or backward, or worn in the small of the back.  It can also be worn on the off-hand side or the dominant side.  Some styles are just small pouches that cover the first few inches of the arrow, while other styles cover the whole arrow.

Bow quiver: another type of quiver is the bow quiver which is attached to the limbs of the bow and uses a clip to hold the arrow steady.  Compound bow hunters tend to like this type of quiver because it enables them to carry just one piece of equipment, and it does not get in the way.

Back quivers: these quivers are worn on the shooter’s back and attached with straps.  With this quiver, the archer can rapidly draw the arrow over the shoulder because the nock ends stand up over the shoulder of the dominant hand.

Ground quiver: if you are going to be in one spot shooting, then a ground quiver is a good option.  These are usually some type of pole in the ground with something on top to hold the arrows within the archer’s reach.  Japanese quivers are another type used mainly to carry and protect the arrows. Quivers are a matter of preference, and they make it convenient for the archer.
