Andrew, the GFA style was popularized by G. Fred Asbel. It is a rigid broadhead hood and an arrow grabber attached with a slat of wood and slung over the shoulder like a side stalker type. I would post pics but Photobucket has a bug so I don't want to risk opening it. If I can find pics in "my pictures" on my computer I will post some.
I made mine from an old Selway bow quiver. I liked the bow quiver on my glass bows but not on my selfbows. I disassembled the bow quiver and attached the hood and arrow grabber to a slat of ash with a shoulder strap attached. It is great for hunting because it keeps the arrows separate and quiet and can be pulled around my back when slipping through the woods to prevent the arrows from getting hung up. Not very primitive but very effective for me.
AndrewS:
Ok I think I have it ;)
May be you could make a primitive Version out of a big dried fungus (the sort you can use for firemaking "Zunderschwamm" it is called in german an i don't know the american word) for the broadheads, a sapling and a leather arrow grabber. At least a leather strap - ready ;)

I like the side-stalker types best. Don't get in your way, and easy to grab an arrow from without a bunch of movement.
