Quiver

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A quiver is a holder for arrows or crossbow bolts. It can be carried on an archer's body, the bow, or the ground. It varies by the variety of shooting and the archer's personal likes. Quivers were originally made of leather, wood, fur, and other natural materials. Now they are often made of metal or plastic.
