What is the primary purpose of a quiver?

A quiver's primary purpose is to store arrows safely. It serves as a container designed specifically for holding arrows securely while keeping them organized and easy to access. This is particularly important for hunters and archers, as it prevents damage to the arrows, minimizes the risk of injury from exposed arrow tips, and ensures that the arrows are readily available for quick drawing during shooting. A well-designed quiver allows the archer to carry multiple arrows conveniently without them clattering together or becoming tangled, enhancing efficiency during a hunt or while practicing.

In contrast, while grip strength and shooting accuracy are important factors for archery, a quiver does not directly contribute to either of these. Additionally, although a quiver may provide some protection, its primary function is not to protect the shooter but rather to keep arrows in a safe, manageable, and easily accessible manner.
