I've gotten to liking side quivers. The one I've got is a brain tanned raccoon skin that I initially put two loops on to hold the arrows sideways across the lower back. But that didn't work with it riding too low and jostling with every step. But it works well for me hung off just one loop with the arrows facing forward. The softness of the leather pinches the arrows and with a big ball of wood scrapings in the bottom keeping the tips for moving making it very quiet when moving. And when moving quick I can rech down and grab the arrows holding them still so they make no noise and my hand it already on the arrows ready to pull them out. And I have colored banding at the nock so I know what head is on the arrow when I pull it out. There are a few things that I need to change about it that don't work too well. Don't let the tail dangle down, it catches everything. Make the loops so they can be opened and closed, it's a pain taking your belt off every time you want to remove your quiver or have a seperate belt for just the quiver. And add a pouch for the extras you like to carry.
Dakota kid, you'll have to let me know how you like the quiver after you've used it a while. It's the first time I've tried making a quiver in that style and I didn't have much time to play with it between completion date and shipping date. So I wasn't sure of exactly where everything needed to be to be in the proper comfort area. And feel free to modify it as you see fit to make it work better. I felt like it would be a good way to keep your fletchings dry on a rainy day and you don't have to worry about arrows falling out.
