Three classic quivers in comparison
There are three types of quiver for arrows. The back quivers are considered ‘traditional’ quivers, as we know them from film and television. These quivers are usually made of leather or imitation leather in a classic look and are sometimes very elaborately decorated. A distinction is made here between quivers with adjustable shoulder straps and three-point straps, which prevent the quiver from slipping on the back. However, this form of quiver worn on the back is actually more of a modern fashion.
On the other hand, the classic quiver is usually attached to the hip via a clip on the belt. Depending on whether the shooter is a left-handed or right-handed shooter, the quiver is attached to the corresponding side of the body. Today, quivers in classic or modern designs are made from leather (including imitation leather or suede) as well as robust fabrics for professional archers.
For traditional archers and for shooting on the course and in the field, a side mount quiver or bow quiver is also an option. These quivers are attached directly to the bow and thus increase the weight of the bow.
| Pro | Contra | |
|---|---|---|
| Rückenköcher | traditioneller Look Bewegungsfreiheit | blindes Herausziehen erschwert Herausziehen der Pfeile bringt Unruhe in den sicheren Stand |
| Seitenköcher | blindes Herausziehen schnell & bequem Stand mus nicht verändert werden | instabile Tragweise |
| Anbauköcher & Bogenköcher | hält Pfeil fest am Bogen stört nicht im Gelände | Anzahl der Pfeile im Köcher ist begrenzt (oft nur 2-8 Pfeile) |
Find the right quiver quickly
The right quiver for your arrows should be chosen carefully. What is important to you in an arrow quiver, classic design or sporty functionality? For example, a leather back quiver is particularly suitable if a traditional look is important to you. If, on the other hand, you want to store your arrows comfortably over a longer period of time or transport them protected from moisture, use a simple plastic tube quiver. For professional use in archery, where functionality takes centre stage, high-quality quivers from brand manufacturers are the right choice.
A quiver is an indispensable accessory in archery for storing and transporting your arrows. Holding the arrows in your hands while shooting or leaving them on the bow is not an option. Your arrows are always ready to hand and protected in a quiver.
There are different types of quivers, including back quivers, side quivers and side mount quivers, each of which has different advantages and disadvantages. The choice of quiver depends on personal preference, shooting style and intended use.
As the name suggests, the side mount quiver is attached directly to the bow. This makes it easy to transport your arrows without having to take a separate quiver with you to training. This is particularly practical when shooting in the field. The additional weight on the bow can also improve your balance when shooting with a side mount quiver. The arrows are firmly attached to the quiver so that the arrows do not rattle.
As the name suggests, the back quiver is worn on the back. This offers the great advantage of freedom of movement. The hands and arms remain free during all activities. In addition, the secure grip on the back ensures that you do not have to take your eyes off the target when shooting. The back quiver is particularly popular with traditional shooters due to its appearance.
The quiver is worn on the side of the hip. The arrows are well and firmly stowed in the quiver, minimising rattling and clattering. The quiver also offers individual options for side attachment, depending on body type and preferences. Another advantage is that the arrows are always within sight and you don't have to make any big movements backwards. This gives you a good overview and allows you to grip your arrows accurately.
