When you shoot long arrows (36 inches), you have to find a way to carry them... so that... they don't do what they always tend to do : dangerously interfering with people, things and tree branches, falling, provoking a disaster when you squat, etc... the traditional japanese way of carrying arrows would be ok, but it seems a bit awkward; the manchu-style quiver could be ok, if the arrows were staying close to the archer's back... so... something in between ? easy to make ? the manchu-chinese-american quiver : the baseball glove... :-) ... seems perfect ... i'll try it in real conditions... when the covid-19 lockdown ends... 2020 05 14 : tested today ... not really manageable... or requires some kind of learning / training .. the cool feature that keeps the arrow shafts close to the back of the archer is an obstacle to easily reinserting the arrows in the quiver; (i need to rotate the quiver to put in front of me, reinsert the arrows under the scarf/belt, then rotate the quiver to put it behind my back... during all that process, the length of the arrows complicates the manipulation).
