Abstract
A quiver is adapted for detachable mounting on an archery bow to hold hunting arrows, while they are spaced upright with their sharp hunting heads quickly, releasably positioned in a protective hood above, and with their nocks quickly, releasably held below on a cross-retainer or nock bar, while all their nocks are aligned. The arrows are removed upon a quick uplifting motion, followed by a quick offset lowering motion, and then followed by a ninety-degree vertical rotational motion, whereby the nock of a withdrawn arrow is in alignment for quickly fitting the bowstring in a shooting position. To accommodate groups of arrows having the same overall lengths, which are different from groups of arrow having the same common longer or shorter lengths, an embodiment of the quiver is longitudinally adjustable. The nocks preferably snap on and snap off the cross-retainer. The sharp hunting heads have their entry portions positioned in a resilient material within the protective hold.
