Automatic quiver

A quiver comprising:

• a housing having a top end and a bottom end and an opening between the top and bottom ends for the insertion and removal of arrows;
• a rotatable shaft located along the longitudinal axis of the housing;
• at least one means attached to the rotatable shaft for gripping arrows in an angled orientation;
• a shaft mount associated with the top half of the housing for mounting the shaft;
• a rotatable flange associated with the housing against which one arrow, held by the gripping means attached to the rotatable shaft, closest to the opening between the top and bottom ends of the housing, may be biased;
• at least one spring for biasing the rotatable shaft, the at least one spring being associated at one end with said shaft mount and at the opposite end with the rotatable shaft;
• and
• said rotatable shaft, with said at least one means for gripping arrows, being positioned and arranged to bring arrows automatically to a position adjacent the opening between the top and bottom ends of the housing for removal from the quiver,
• whereby a user may store previously shot arrows by first moving the rotatable flange out of the path of rotation of the arrows, manually reversing the rotatable shaft, inserting used arrows into the gripping means for arrows, manually advancing the rotatable shaft until the previously shot arrows are in a position behind the rotatable flange and then moving the rotatable flange in a position of abutting a next unused arrow to be shot.
