Horizontal Quiver Troubles

Post by Ernildir »

My quiver loves to tend towards a horizontal position. I don't love it to tend towards a horizontal position. Any tips as to how it could be secured more vertically?

Thanks.

without pics its hard to tell but i would guess adding a strap or two at the top or even bottom will keep it in place better.

Lose your arrows playing Golfimbul again, did we? ;)

I've seen your quiver, and honestly, the best thing you can do is shorten your strap. It's too long, which lets it sag. Additionally, if you were to reattach the bottom end of the strap further up on the quiver, say, 6" from the bottom, and make the whole thing short enough to be snug across your chest, it'll keep it upright.
Now the sword shall come from under the cloak.

Thank you for the suggestions... I think what I'll try first is simply punching some more holes further along the strap so that the buckle can fasten the whole thing more tightly.
