Abstract
Abstract As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a new and improved arrow quiver is adapted for detachable mounting on any bow irrespective of the style or size of the bow. To accommodate various lengths and diameters of the arrows carried in an upright position thereon, the quiver includes upper and lower spatiallydisposed gripping members which can be selectively positioned and adjusted as desired.
