How did medieval archers carry their bows

Medieval archers carried their bows in various ways, depending on the type of bow and the archer's preferences.

1. Over the shoulder This was a common way to carry a bow, as it kept it out of the way while still being easily accessible. The bow would be slung over the archer's shoulder, with the string facing down.

2. On the back Another popular way to carry a bow was on the back. This method was more secure than carrying the bow over the shoulder, as it prevented the bow from swinging around. The bow would be attached to the archer's belt or backpack.

3. In a bow case Bow cases were also used to carry bows. This was the most protective way to carry a bow, as it prevented the bow from being damaged by the elements or by being bumped against other objects. Bow cases were typically made of leather or wood.

4. In a quiver Quivers were used to carry arrows, but they could also be used to carry bows. This method was not as common as the other methods, but it was an option for archers who wanted to keep their bow and arrows together.

5. By hand Archers could also carry their bows by hand. This was the least secure way to carry a bow, as it was more likely to be dropped or damaged. However, it was an option for archers who needed to keep their bow close at hand.
