My quiver has served me well for the last 2 yrs. Its the standard Cartel quiver that comes with the package deal Intemediate package from a shop. It is a good alround budget quiver, plenty of pocket sace and hooks fr finger slings and mascots!!!

Just upgrading to a custom made leather engraved quiver but the price is a lot more than the material budget range!

When it comes down to it its an object you put your arrows in there is no pressure or tension put on the quiver and any of them should last you a fair few years!!!

when i started a year and a half ago,i bought myself an aurora quiver from Merlin and i still use it, no need for anything else.

Has 3 tubes which is enough i think, side pocket with diff compartments for pens and such, nice upper zipup pocket for release/tab and anything else, zipper pocket on the front of that and metal loops to hang other things like pullers/small towel etc off.

and a really good price too, sorted!

Merlin Archery; Aurora Quiver - Dynamic Top

A quiver...is a quiver...is a quiver...

The Longshot range are perfectly good but a quiver is something that you don't need to change that often - it isn't going to wear out. So it's worth looking for something that you will be happy with for a good few years. Neet do some nice looking ones (you can find them in the Quick's catalogue as well as at a number of other retailers), Aurora are good, and Arrowhead do some very good ones too. Arrowhead are here, and if you want to speak to the man himself just pm him on this forum - Old Bloke!

as long as you're not a complete klutz and manage to stab yourself in the leg when pocketing your arrows.

**THUNK- your link is pointing the wrong way **

The correct link for Arrowhead UK is here: http://www.arrowheaduk.com/acatalog/shop.html

Old Bloke makes them to order; I have one of the Deluxe Quivers, and highly recommend them (the extra pockets are definitely worth it). My coach has the wheelchair version and is also really happy with it. All really well made, a cut above anything else in this price range.

Same here. But mine's in purple! I'm a newbie and don't plan to change anytime soon.

Oops! Sorry! How did that happen?

I think Old Bloke / Arrowhead must be the only source of purple quivers in the UK...
