The primary purpose of an archery quiver is to store arrows in a convenient and accessible manner.

There are three main types of archery quivers: hip quivers, back quivers, and side quivers.

Hip quivers are the most common type of archery quiver, as they are lightweight, easy to use, and provide quick access to arrows.

Hip quivers are lightweight and easy to use, provide quick access to arrows, and protect the arrows from damage.

Hip quivers can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, can interfere with the archer's movement, and can be difficult to draw arrows from while kneeling or sitting.

Back quivers distribute the weight of the arrows evenly, provide easy access to arrows while kneeling or sitting, and protect the arrows from damage.

Back quivers can be difficult to reach arrows while standing, can interfere with the archer's movement, and can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Side quivers provide easy access to arrows while standing or sitting, do not interfere with the archer's movement, and can be used with a variety of bow types.

Side quivers can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, can be difficult to draw arrows from while kneeling, and can interfere with the archer's sight picture.

Archery quivers are commonly made from leather, nylon, canvas, or a combination of these materials.

When choosing an archery quiver, it is important to consider durability, comfort, and ease of use.

Common accessories used with archery quivers include arrow holders, quiver straps, and quiver covers.

Arrow holders serve to hold arrows in place within the quiver, protect the arrows from damage, and make it easier to draw arrows from the quiver.

Quiver straps are used to attach the quiver to the archer's body, adjust the position of the quiver, and prevent the quiver from moving around while the archer is shooting.

Quiver covers are used to protect the arrows from rain and snow, keep the arrows clean and dry, and make the quiver more visible in low-light conditions.
