I was curious on where you can get a good larp set. A bow, quiver and arrows. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Here's a good start:

Quivers are a bit harder, I don't have recommendations for that one.  Yoga Mat bags seem to work well for some, or getting custom leatherwork done can do it.

If people have other sources, please share them!  The list I linked to can always be added to. ;)

  I believe you have a link to Swords of honor on your page. They sell quivers in their LARP weapons section. they look pretty nice. they cost about $70 I think.

  As for bows, I would suggest one made by the Indiana Archery company. they make the ones you normally see at scout camps or in school gym classes. they make a nice 18 lb fiber-glass recurve that is quite sturdy, decent range even with boffer arrows.

  Arrows, I have no idea.  We have a couple people who make them here I have never had to buy ready made ones.

Still working on the other parts but as for bows. I bought one at Dick's sporting goods for around 18 dollars.

I just ordered a 48" Indian Paddle bow of 25# weight, as a U-Finish kit. $89
also ordered a hickory 60" youth bow U-finish kit at 20#  for $45.


Both bows came from Rudderbows.com
Both bows only have to be lightly sanded, stained and polyurethaed

Will let you know how they are when I get them
