ELF BOW AND QUIVER FULL

If you disagree, I think you shoot your bow too much in the woods. If you're in the woods, carrying more than a dozen at most is unnecessary. The way I see it, if you're headed off to war, there will be countless sheaves of arrows available, because it is the leadership's responsibility to provide ammunition if they want you shooting it. What I've found works best for me, is using 5-6 oz, and keeping the quiver small. Because they move so freely and don't hold their form, I've actually seen the straps pull the top and bottom together, like scrunching up a sock, allowing the arrows to slowly creep out until there's no quiver left to hold them in place, and the whole bundle gets dumped. Thin, floppy quivers just don't belong in the woods in my book.

Andy literally stuffed his entire quiver with shearling to avoid this, but this seems to have reduced his capacity by quite a bit (though he never commented on that publicly.) Also, nearly every video clip you've ever seen (or in person in public for that matter) of a person dumping a quiver full of arrows because they 'turned around too fast' or any other number of motions that are rather common in the woods, was carrying a large-mouthed, stiff leather quiver. This loose arrangement, yes, will rattle, even with soft fluffies put around the edges, because the arrows in the middle still hit against each other.

What I've found is that the general tendency when making a quiver with stiff, thicker leather is to make it large, able to accommodate 2 dozen+ shafts.
