Hi Deborah, yes quiver is the correct name for the container for arrows.
When fighting on horseback, the arrows would be fed to the bow from the quiver one at a time but during a siege or an on foot battle the arrows would be taken from the quiver and stuck in the ground to facilitate a faster shooting rate.

Actually, in this case it may have been called an arrow bag.
