Persian archer equipment

[Dan D'Silva]

I've been trying to source the equipment for a Persian archer around 500 BCE. I'm considering one of these bows and I wondered if anyone had any thoughts or objections...

Also, not only am I having difficulty finding a gorytos short of getting one custom-made but the more I think about it, the less I like the physical setup it offers. The arrows seem to be carried diagonally, top pointing back, on the left hip, which would be opposite the right hand with which I draw the string, so getting each arrow out with the left hand already holding the bow seems like it would be awkward.

How do you do it? I imagine you could (with varying degrees of practicality) swing the bow up out of the way each time, take out a bunch of arrows at once, take the arrows out with the bow hand... or just hold the bow in the right hand. Or, is there any historical basis for having a separate quiver that's more accessible to the right hand? Sorry if this is a n00b question, but the information seems scarce, and I really want to know what I'm doing before buying anything.
