You should always keep your precious arrows safe and sound. That's why all archers need a qood quiver. Before you buy one, there are a few things you need to keep in mind. Here are a few tips.

Types

You need to know that there are various types of quivers. One of the most common designs is one that connects to your belt or hip. Therefore, your arrows will always be right by your side. However, hunters may find it difficult to go through heavy brush with one on.

Some quivers even attach to the bow itself. Some bow quivers are detachable, while others are attached permanently. So the weight can be removed from the bow before shooting, detachable designs are quite popular. Field or tournament archers normally use these quivers. They're not popular with hunters. You can also find quivers that you stick into the ground. Ground quivers sometimes have a built-in rack to hold your bow on.

Size

It's also important to consider the size of your quiver. Obviously, different quivers can hold a different number of arrows. Five is usually the minimum, with ten generally being the larger amount.

Rain

You should be aware that rain can ruin glue that attaches fletchings to arrows. It's best that hunters have a quiver with a lid. That way the arrows won't be ruined if they're caught in bad weather.

Color

Another thing hunters need to consider is the color of the arrow quiver. If you want to blend in as much as possible, you should consider a camouflaged quiver. You certainly don't want a color that will stand out.
