cavalry spearbag
#12
Yes, a low slung quiver has many advantages, the most important easy draw. To get any firing rate at all, the early period archers would have had to unsling the quiver to get quick acces to the arrows for sure. I intent to add a brass ring at the front (four holes to afix a plate) to allow me to plant a stick upright to steady the quiver in front of my firing position. I based it on the observations of B&C and what iconographic evidence there was. This is indeed for my first century impression, wearing "standard" aux uniform and Galic G or H helmet.
