Welsh Longbowmen would stick the arrows into the ground, or prop then with rocks... to lean & grab. From personal experiance, Whilst doing the running through the woods.... I found carrying it low on the hip and close to the body kept the arrows from hanging up in the branches.. My point was that the quiver looked like it was falling off the shoulder.. )tis ok Mr sanity... I"m a bit of a medievalist as well ) Cheers, Wizzard
