Ground Quivers

When archers are shooting from an established shooting line, a ground quiver can conveniently hold the arrows. Several manufacturers make ground quivers, but you can easily make one yourself.

A ground quiver can be made from a short length of 4" PVC pipe and a flange or piece of wood. Cut the section of pipe about 15 to 20 inches long. Glue a closed flange over one end of the section, or if you prefer, cut a hole in a piece of 1 inch pine or 3/4-inch plywood large enough to hold the pipe.

Drill pilot holes in the pipe and attach it to the wood with small screws, brads or nails. Cut another piece of wood slightly larger than the first, and attach it to the bottom of the first one. Drill a couple of holes just inside the edge of the bottom piece to accept a dock spike or other anchoring device.

On level ground or indoors, these quivers may be used without support. On uneven ground or in windy conditions, anchor the quiver to keep it in place.

Ground quivers may also be made form heavy gauge wire, welding rod, or light metal rods. Bend a ring on one end, then bend the ring to a right angle with the rod. Push the rod into the ground until the ring is about 15 - 20 inches above the ground.

You can probably think of more ways of holding arrows on the shooting line. Anything that is light, portable and stable is acceptable.
