In the heat of battle, the medieval archer would often have to place his quiver on the ground for quick access to his arrows. As a result, many quivers of the period were made from simple sack cloth with a leather spacer to hold the arrows. This allowed the archer quick access to his arrows, whether the quiver lay on the ground during battle, or was slung over his back while traveling.
Modeled after those found on the Mary Rose, the medieval battle quiver holds up to 24 arrows comfortably. The draw string top allows the archer to close the quiver completely thus protecting feathers in wet conditions. The quiver can accommodate arrow diameters up to 1/2" thick, perfect not only for standard longbow arrows but also for those using warbow arrows as well. Not to be used with broadheads. Overall length is 40" and strap is adjustable for the perfect fit. Suits left or right handed archers.
