A quiver has arrow-holding cells, holding arrows, each cell closed along a top wall, a bottom wall, and one or more longitudinal closure sidewalls, as well as having one or more open sides. The cells pivot with respect to each other, on hinges. The quivers have an enclosing configuration, and an open configuration, preferably a plurality of potential open configurations. In open configurations, closure side walls can have free edges adjacent each other, or closure side walls bearing free edges are adjacent each other, or open side walls provide access to arrows about substantially a full circle about the longitudinal axis of the quiver, or the quiver exposes more than 180 degrees of open wall, and/or arrow holders hold the arrows against unintended falling out at any orientation of the quiver.

An apparatus for transferring heat from a heated gas to a heat transfer medium, comprising: a tank for holding the heat transfer medium; a substantially horizontal combustion conduit extending through said tank in heat transfer relationship with the heat transfer medium; a heat source in communication with said combustion conduit for heating and driving the heated gas into said combustion conduit; a set of fire conduits extending through said tank below said combustion conduit and in heat transfer relationship with said heat transfer medium and in communication with said combustion conduit; and a tank divider member positioned within said tank between said combustion conduit and said set of fire conduits for dividing said tank into an upper region and a lower region, said divider member having two apertures; whereby as the heat transfer medium cools, the heat transfer medium passes from said upper region, through at least one of said apertures, and to said lower region; and whereby when the heat transfer medium is contained in said tank, and when the heated gas is driven into said combustion conduit, the heated gas flows through said combustion conduit, and then flows downwardly and then substantially transversely through said fire conduits, so as to transfer heat from the heated gas to the heat transfer medium as the heated gas flows through said combustion conduit and said fire conduits. 3. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said tank divider member includes two substantially parallel members having an insulator interposed there between for substantially insulating the heat transfer medium in said upper region from the heat transfer medium in said lower region. 4. The apparatus of claim 3, wherein said tank divider further includes a plurality of stabilizers operably associated with each said parallel member for substantially preventing said parallel members from contacting each other. 5. The apparatus of claim 4, wherein said tank includes an outlet in communication with said upper region and an inlet in communication with said lower region, wherein the heated heat transfer medium is extracted from said tank through said outlet, and cooled heat transfer medium is returned to said tank through said inlet. 6. The apparatus of claim 5, wherein said heat transfer medium is water. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein said heat source includes a burner supplied with a combustible fuel for forming the heated gas, and further includes a blower for driving said heated gas into said combustion conduit. 8. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the first and second tank divider members each include an inspection aperture for inspecting the divider members. 9. The apparatus of claim 2, which further comprises: a second set of fire conduits extending through said tank below said first set of fire conduits and in heat transfer relationship with said heat transfer medium and in communication with said first set of fire conduits; and a second tank divider member positioned within said tank between said first set of fire conduits and said second set of fire conduits, said first and second tank divider members dividing the tank into an upper region, a central region located between the first and second tank divider members, and a lower region, said second tank divider member having two apertures, wherein the heat transfer medium passes to and from said central region through said apertures as the heat transfer medium cools. 10. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said first and second tank divider members each includes two substantially parallel members having an insulator interposed there between for substantially insulating the heat transfer medium in said central region from the heat transfer medium in said lower region and said upper region. 11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said first and second tank divider members each includes an inspection aperture for inspecting said first or second divider member. 12. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein said first and second tank divider members further include a plurality of stabilizers operably associated with each said substantially parallel member for substantially preventing said parallel members from contacting each other. 13. The apparatus of claim 9 wherein said tank includes an outlet in communication with said upper region and an inlet in communication with said lower region, wherein the heat transfer medium is extracted from said tank through said outlet, and cooled heat transfer medium is returned to said tank through said inlet. 14. The apparatus of claim 9 which further comprises: a divided side wall operably associated with said tank having an upper chamber for directing the heated gas from said combustion conduit into said first set of fire conduits, and a lower chamber for directing the heated gas from said second set of fire conduits into an exhaust; and an opposing non-divided sidewall operably associated with said tank having a chamber for directing the heated gas from said first set of fire conduits into said second set of fire conduits. 15. An apparatus for transferring heat from a heated gas to a heat transfer medium, comprising: a tank for holding the heat transfer medium; a substantially horizontal combustion conduit extending through said tank in heat transfer relationship with the heat transfer medium; a heat source in communication with said combustion conduit for heating and driving the heated gas into said combustion conduit; a first set of fire conduits extending through said tank below said combustion conduit and in heat transfer relationship with said heat transfer medium and in communication with said combustion conduit; a second set of fire conduits extending through said tank below said first set of fire conduits and in heat transfer relationship with said heat transfer medium and in communication with said first set of fire conduits; whereby when the heat transfer medium is contained in said tank, and when the heated gas is driven into said combustion conduit, the heated gas flows through said combustion conduit, then flows downwardly and then substantially transversely through said first set of fire conduits, and then flows downwardly and then substantially transversely through said second set of conduits, so as to transfer heat from the heated gas to the heat transfer medium as the heated gas flows through said combustion conduit, said first set of fire conduits and said second set of fire conduits; a first tank divider member positioned within said tank between said combustion conduit and said first set of fire conduits; and a second tank divider member positioned within said tank between said first set of fire conduits and said second set of fire conduits, said first tank divider and said second tank divider dividing said tank into an upper region, a central region located between said first and second tank dividers, and a lower region, wherein each said tank divider member has an aperture; whereby the heat transfer medium passes to and from said central region through said aperture as
