A quiver a least has to have a bottom which is strong thick enough so that the points don't go through the bottom .
Example:
Cloth quiver with multi layer or thick leather bottom.
Leather quiver with thick leather or wooden bottom.
Fast detachable from belt or shield so that it is not in the way before reaching for the sword.
Bucket, could also be a wicker basket.
These darts are also usable from horseback.
We tried that last year in a training for a show , went well .
After a few test runs the target was hit with a fairly good score.
Darts were held in the left hand, combined with the reins.
Speed of throwing:
Depends on what you want, scaring or hitting the opponent
