![]() If you shoot a variety of arrows or number them, target quivers are ideal. ![]() That makes it much easier to see and sort through your arrows. Target archers who like hip quivers often go for target quivers, which lean the arrows’ fletching forward and their points down. They also have three to four built-in plastic tubes that separate your arrows. As with field quivers, target quivers hang off the hip with a clip or belt. It comes in six colours blue, green, grey, olive, orange, and red, with all of the colours being described as “melange”, which is a colour effect obtained by mixing different coloured fibres to make the fabric.Target quivers, however, offer more storage pockets and clips for accessories and tools. There is also a plastic loop on the front of it where you could clip an arrow puller onto for easier access than a pouch. Generally everything is very well made, and has thoughtful touches on it, such as the padded tags on the zips, branded with the Aurora name, that add something to the overall look. It is expandable to a large size, and has a simple buckle clasp. This model comes with a belt, made of the same material, and in the same colour as the quiver. The upper pocket is also a good size, with plenty of room for multiple finger tabs and slings, with an even smaller zipped pocket on the front that could be used for stowing a membership card or a sheet of sight marks, perhaps.īoth of the main pockets on this quiver have a support strap between the body and the pocket, so the pocket cannot fall open if it has been left unzipped (an offence of which I am often guilty!). This pocket does not have a zip or closure, so it can be easily accessed. There is also an open pocket on the outside of this which is the perfect size to slip a phone into. There are a multitude of pockets available, with a sizeable pocket on the body of the quiver itself, large enough to hold the essentials such as a small notebook, arrow puller, and snacks. If you don’t fancy carrying the backpack on both shoulders, there is the option to hide the shoulder straps inside a hidden pouch, and convert the bag into an over the shoulder strap bag, with a comfortable shoulder strap included. This waistband contains a pocket complete with a USB port, so you can attach your own USB portable charger to the inside and charge your phone from the bag while you walk! I can see this coming in very handy if you have to trek home after a long day at a competition and want to listen to music on your phone as you walk. ![]() I used this configuration to carry it backwards and forwards across the university campus to my training venue, and found the backpack much more comfortable than any other I have used previously, likely due to the padded shoulder straps and the fact I used the waistband. ![]() The shoulder straps are padded, and there is a waist band to take the weight off your shoulders if you have to carry the bag long distances. There is a pocket with a small diagram of a sight on the tag (perfectly sized to store my Shibuya sight case) two labelled with stabilisers for the side rods, and a longer one adjacent to the arrow tube to store the long rod. There is plenty of space on the inside, with various pockets that have tags to suggest what you should keep in there. This backpack comes complete with a removable pouch for the riser and limbs, and includes an arrow tube. I’ve been using a smaller Aurora backpack for seven years now, and have struggled to find a suitable replacement that is large enough to keep my kit tidy and in place, but doesn’t make me feel like I’m off to my first day of “big school” when carrying it. This well organised backpack from the Bignami stable is great addition for any recurve archer.
