He explained that although they did carry back quivers in the past they were not as common as people think. He rebuked their claims with a follow up two months later. There is a lot of scepticism to Lars Andersen’s archery and in particular the stories of the back quiver in his video. That is quite difficult to do whether you are shooting static or on the move. But to do that you would have to stretch your arm so far for the arrowhead to clear the quiver and sling it around to the bow to nock. When you draw an arrow from a back quiver you have to reach behind the feel the arrow, grab it by the nock and pull it out. I’ve used a back quiver in the past and drawing arrows from a back quiver isn’t that simple. As an archer myself I can see how some truth in that. This convinced Lars that Hollywood invented the myth that the back quiver was the most common type of quiver used by historical archers. Also the fletchings would often get caught in branches as he navigated through the trees. They were not held in place inside the quiver and as he jumped from a height and landed the arrows just went straight out of the quiver. As these archers had to travel and hop foot from each target and then draw their arrows the quiver couldn’t carry the arrows adequately. As Lars found from his practice a back quiver was mostly useless when it came to moving fast. Among these things included a story about the back quiver. Last year Danish archer Lars Andersen became an internet sensation on You Tube when he showed the world some interesting stories about master archers who could perform incredible feats of archery. Let’s start with the back the back quiver. However there are more different designs of quivers than I originally thought. Now when I first looked at quivers I covered the types that were used in modern target archery and how practical they are for modern target archers. Let’s have a run down on that quiver on our person, at the moment there are six distinct types of quiver. This is because I have recently been taking a look at the history of archery quivers for my own personal project. For this post I decided to find out more about quivers.

My first post covered quivers and the reason I choose that as my first post is because I find quivers to be a remarkable invention that is also the bow and arrow’s best friend. It’s been a year now since I started blogging for Legend Archery and it is still gives me pleasure to have an opportunity to share my stories about archery with the world.
