Message: <blockquote data-quote="drnuncheon" data-source="post: 289726" data-attributes="member: 96">If you're willing to drop the cash, get two gloves of storing - the right hand for the rapier and the left for the bow (assuming the character is right-handed, of course.)  This means that it's trivial to switch weapons without dropping them or taking time to resheathe, and lets you have your hands free whenever you want.An additional benefit is that the glove keeps the item in stasis - so keeping your bow strung 24/7 will not ruin it, and there's no chance of the weather getting to it.As for the arrows, having stuff on your back when you tumble is generally bad for it - you'd be rolling across them and that's just no good.  Since you've freed up space on your hips, though, consider a hip quiver where your sword would normally be.  I would make it of cuir-bouilli for lightness and protection, waxed to be waterproof, and include a 'cap' that fits over the end to seal it off.For a low-tech solution to keeping your arrows in place even when the cap is open, affix a block of soft wax to the bottom of the quiver, and thrust the arrowheads into it when you load it up.  It should be as secure as the magnet if not more so, although you will not be able to stick your quiver to the refrigerator.The quiver should be loose, not strapped tight to your body - that way if it is going to get in the way of a tumble, you can grab it with a free hand and hold it out of the way.J</blockquote>
