An arrow holder comprises: a U-shaped bracket; an arrow catch extending from one side of the bracket toward the other leaving a vertical gap; a spring member for biasing an arrow stack within the bracket against the arrow catch; and opposed arrow guides at the front end of the bracket. The arrow guides extend vertically to constrain horizontally the top arrow of the stack. The bracket, arrow catch, arrow guides, and spring member are arranged for: enabling the top arrow to pivot about the arrow guides and pass through the gap; releasing the top arrow when it pivots sufficiently to clear the arrow catch; and biasing the remainder of the stack against the arrow catch if the top arrow is released. A method comprises pivoting the top arrow thereby releasing it from the arrow holder. The method may further comprise inserting the single stack of arrows into the arrow holder.
