 Posted: Tue Mar 27, 2007 7:39 pm Arrow bag - fairly authentic |

Gt1cm2 sent me this link, showing a reconstruction of an arrow bag/quiver based on the finds on the Mary Rose. I've had several people tell me about these, but I don't have any primary sources to verify the design.

Cheers,

Hi Guys
met these very guys at a major re-enactors fair 2 weekends ago! The only piece of this that relates to the Mary Rose is the spacer with the holes in it, the bag is a"best guess" from other source. Almost all of the arrows and bows recovered were packed in chests or barrels There is a good bit in Hardy's "English Warbow" about it all. BTW these guys sell really nice archery gear, 19C style longbows and medieval style longbows up to 180 pound draw!!!!. Decent people to talk with too.

hey Nigel
there is a War bow Archer from the uk who belongs to the English war bow society and is living here in hastings now
he was at taupo and put 2 arrows through my shield...(eat your heart out Charlie!)
he has a bag exactly the same as that and he is wanting to start a war bow society in new Zealand.
hes also got a book showing the construction of the bag as well as garb for the archers from early 14th to the late 15th century
hes keen!
so am i
thought you might be too

Hi Frosty, I know who you're refering to. A very nice guy and calling him "keen" is putting it mildly! He was trying to get a chapter of the English Warbow Society going up here but then opted for for the Hawkes Bay instead. Auckland's loss is Hasting's gain there. If you see him say hi from me!

hahaha yes keen is mild. ill tell Keith you said hi
would be nice to have a New Zealand wide chapter going though wouldn't it? then its not Auckland's loss. simply a slight access problem

i made one of those bags for my wife and they are really simple to throw together
they are also really easy to draw from and the cloth hood stops the arrows falling out.
i would recommend one like this over the steriotypical quiver any day

now that you say stereotypical quiver im looking at mine and thinking..right *throws it away and starts again*
those quivers are nice for storing but i think the "stereotypical" quiver still looks good to "ye olde public"

Wouldn't canvas or leather be better in terms of waterproofing?
