The medieval archer had to be ready at a moments notice, travel light, and carry plenty of arrows. Also, medieval archers were poor. As a result, many quivers of the period were made from simple sack cloth with a leather spacer to hold the arrows securely, stay lightweight for traveling, and protect arrows from the weather. This quality replica medieval archer's quiver is a great way to recapture look and feel of the medieval times. Modeled after those found on the Mary Rose. Perfect for the SCA archer or Renaissance Faire goer. Holds 24 arrows comfortably, arrow diameter can be up to 1/2" thick, just like the medieval battle arrows. Not to be used with broadheads. Overall length is 40" and strap is adjustable to the perfect fit! Made in the USA from duct canvas and cotton rope. Holds up to 24 arrows, diameters up to 1/2" - medieval war shafts!! (Arrows not included) Not to be used with broadheads Fully adjustable strap 40" overall length ...read more

Product is quite handy...provides a modicum of protection to arrows...holds up to 24 arrows...may have to modify leather ring inside (if included) to allow for larger bodkins ==================== Always put dry grass in bottom of bag to prevent or minimize point coming out through the bottom, especially the larger Medieval bodkin points.
I was hesitant at first...

Getting back in the game after 30 years and decided to go full medieval. Finished up a longbow and needed a quiver. Decided on the authentic 'Mary Rose Quiver', and there are a lot of tutorials out there on how to make them. Problem with making it is, the leather, the canvas, the cutting, the sewing, the required tools, the skill, and the draw away from making the bow and arrows.… read more So, I bit the bullet and ordered this one. Holy %^$&! (fill in own four letter expletive) Extremely happy I ordered this instead of making a Frankenstein's Monster of a sack. It is very well made with mostly 'traditionalist' looking materials. Durable, adjustable, comfortable, holds 2 dozen shafts with fletchings separated, and looks amazing. THE ONE I RECEIVED ISN'T LIKE THE PICS. I actually think its better. The thin rope has been replaced with a thick nylon based rope, which still looks authentic and is probably more weatherproof. I do plan on making a natural 'tan' dye and try to darken it as the natural bleached canvas is a bit bright. The outside canvas stitching, of course, isn't hand sewn, its machined, and the leather spacer insert also appears machined punched (or very accurately hand punched), though it is hand stitched into the quiver. A hundred bucks was a bargain compared to the time, effort, and expense to make something much less appealing.
I would buy another one!

I wish I liked my hunting quiver this much. Bought it for the renaissance festival longbow contest & loved it. Holds a MASSIVE number of arrows for target shooting.

The only thing about this excellent quiver I don't care for is the brightness of the white fabric. I soaked mine overnight in a homemade walnut shell dye, and it's now a beautiful tan color that is much more to my liking!

This quiver is very versatile. It is easily adjustable for differing arrow lengths. The quiver holds up to 24 arrows with all fletching kept separate and from touching one another. The area above the leather spacer would protect the arrows during inclement weather. The fabric is plain but does allow for personal embellishment.

Its longer than you'll expect. I can fit a couple dozen arrows in it easily and securely. I also carry my armguard and gloves in the top. It functions great as a kind of case as well. The quiver is very light and easy to wear. I've had it across my back, off to the side, just about anywhere. I does move around a bit as I walk... but I just pull the end of the knotted rope… read more (the one that ties the bottom together) through my belt so the bottom/end stays put. Very useful and unique. Its simple materials and construction are well thought out and crafted. At some point I intend to 'personalize' it with stitching, beads, etc. Should last many, many years.

While this will be worn similar to a side quiver you would pull the arrows out of the top. It does not have an opening to pull the arrows out of the side/bottom.

5 years ago
I suppose you could pull arrows through the bottom—your fletching will pass through the 1/2" or so hole in the leather spacer. Bags like these (based on finds from the Mary Rose) were used to supply rounds to medieval archers. When worn as a quiver it was likely used as a hip quiver. 24 arrows was about 2 minutes worth of ammunition. The need for a fast supply likely explains why arrows can be removed from either end. Archers can load arrows grabbed by the nock end faster, so top opened wide makes sense. The bottom access might have been used by support troops to quickly load ground quivers with fletch up.

No. I drop the arrows in from the top and pull them back out the top. I stuffed an old shirt in the bottom to cushion the points. I think in medieval times, they stuffed straw or grass down there. The top is long enough that it can roll up and offer a bit of protection for the arrows. I like it, but I'm still trying to figure out where it's most comfortable to carry and access. Also, there is a leather spacer toward the top that keeps the arrows separated. Hope this helps.

This cloth quiver is tied at the bottom on me this quiver hangs off my right side belt line. to pull an arrow out I reach behind me with my right hand to pull an arrow out, if you are left handed reverse everything I have said. I use mine when I am portraying a 13th century English archer.

Hi Chris,No, this is more for transport and storage. It's made of heavy fabric and has no inherent structural rigidity. I use it to carry my arrows to and from the range and hang it from a stand I made while shooting.

12 years ago
I have had one of these quivers for over a year now and have noticed very little wear from points. As the arrow tips group on the bottom where the quiver is tied it has reinforcement to protect it. I would say with years and years of Heavy use it will need to be replaced though. If you do not want that, open the bottom end of the quiver and put a curved piece of leather to hold the points, then retie the strap in place.

Yes, It can be used as a quiver. I am a medieval archery reenactor and I have used them this way by suspending them from my belt using the loop near the spacer. There is little evidence that they were used either as an over the shoulder quiver, and not much for them being used as a hip quiver. They were more likely just carry bags that let a person carry arrows long distances (on the march) without crushing the fletchings.
