No. It is its own type, an old one, not my invention. Its strength is the slit down its side: while stalking you draw the arrow out through it, as easily as from a field or target quiver, instead of reaching over your shoulder. In carrying it does resemble a back quiver: wear it at your side, or slide it round onto your back, and it sits more like a shoulder bag. The name says it, a hunting quiver for the woods, though it is fine at a competition too. The lambswool collar keeps the arrows quiet, and it holds more than a dozen.
Lawrie Conole has carried the prototype since October 2020, and it has been his main field quiver ever since:
“For the kind of archery I mostly do, the stalking quiver and back quiver work best for extracting arrows while wrestling with the undergrowth and traversing over uneven ground. I usually have it low down by my side on the draw hand (right) side of my body, and sometimes around behind my back.”

The quiver described here is the stalker quiver.
