Title: How many arrows???
Post by: adam on May 17, 2008, 05:09:00 PM
I set up some hunting arrows for my recurve today, when i finished i put them in my quiver and wondered what everyone else carries in their quiver. So my question is: What kind of quiver do you use, how many arrows do you carry, and what kind of heads do your arrows have.

For me i use a Eagles Flight quiver, with 4 arrows, 3 are tipped with broadheads and 1 is a footed carbon arrow with either a judo or blunt.

I was just intrested to see what you guys carry.

I carry a hip quiver with six broadheads when I hunt deer or hogs. I have three wide four blades and three four blade Delta's sharp. I shoot the Delta's if I want more penetration. If I plan on shooting a practice shot I use a matching practice BH. All are sharp except the practice.Ken

Depends on the situation...

90% of the time I use a GFA Quiver with 5 broadheads and a Judo (I find that 7th slot in the back side behind the strap mount virtually impossible to access so don't put an arrow in it).

In the rare instances when I want to carry more arrows than the GFA, I use my Adams Arrow Holster with up to 9 broadheads and 1 Judo.

When The situation dictates a bow quiver I use a 3R strap on with 3 broadheads and a Judo...

I use a bow quiver for big game hunting.When small game comes in,i`ll carry my back quiver full of flu flus and other arrows with varirous points.  :thumbsup:  So sometimes i`m loaded with ammo,no matter what comes from behind the tree.BIG or small.  :D

EFA bow quiver 3 arrow.  For deer and hogs 3 Magnus Mag I or Ribtek 160 grain broadheads.  May start carrying along a footed carbon with a zudo just to take shots at pesky squirrels.  May swith back to my GN strap-on to give a bit more room.  Have used a GFA style quiver on extend hog hunts a Granger WMA TX where shoots are fast and furius.  Makes those shots at a walking deer seem tame.

For practicing, I put 10 arrows in a self-made back quiver.  Five are 460 grain cedars, five are 624 grain carbons.  Because they fly differently and I am pulling them at random, it forces me to keep my mind in each shot.  It's just a little game to keep me amused.

I use a GN 5-arrow adjustable strap-on with four Ace Express broadheads and one blunt, either an Ace Hex or a Judo.

I use various quivers, but none on the bow, ever.  The one I use most frequently is the mini Cat quiver.  I carry six Magnus or Grizzly tipped arrows.  No judos, no blunts, no field points unless I'm stumping or small game hunting.  I don't want to blow any chances when after deer so I leave the other stuff at home.

Usually 6 in a plains or back quiver.  Growing up in NJ and hunting in the Pine Barrens, we would take even more.  Use to hunt where wild dog packs roamed.

Plains style quiver, 3 with broadheads and one with a blunt is my norm.

It varies with my mood.  Can't shoot stumps or squirrels without ammunition.  At least eight or ten.

Post by: Stringdancer on May 18, 2008, 12:32:00 PM
Six is the norm for me....  Four 125gr Magnus 2 blade broadheads, and 2 Judos all in a back quiver from Mike's Archery Leather or a deer hyde Plains quiver.

three broadheads, one judo or hex blunt.  Always (while hunting big game.  If squirrel hunting I stuff as many nutters as I can in my back quiver.

I use different quivers depending upon my mood for the day.

I use to have 3 or 4 broadheads along now I carry 6 to 8 and sometimes a  judo.  On a good day here you elk deer bear turkey in a day.  Plus 2 years ago I had a buddy run out of arrows (4 arrow quiver) on a deer.  Hit it bad with the first shot and tried to force a few through some brush to get another arrow in it.  When in doubt quiver out lol

I generally use a Cat Quiver IV.  I carry 6-8 with 160 grain Grizzilies and 1-2 with a rubber blunt.  If I need to use a bow quiver, I use a slide on Selway on my longbow.  I carry 5 broadhead tipped arrows and use the "piggybacker" to carry a blunt for practice.  I will occasionally use a leather back quiver as well.

I carry 3 broadheads, one judo and one hex head blunt. I've been using a back quiver for years. Thinking of trying a GFA side quiver though.

4 in a German Ridge quiver that very easily comes off and hangs in the tree if I am treestand hunting. Woodman's and GT's.

I've been using an Eagle's Flight,either 3 or 4 arrow quiver.But I've never liked a quiver on my bow,and it always comes off when I'm in the stand.

This year I'll be using a possibles bag with quiver attached and carrying 4 birch arrows tipped with WW........maybe a small game head on another birch shaft.

Depends...

If I'm mostly deer hunting, then I use a hip quiver (carried like a GFA side quiver) with four broadheads and two blunts.

If I'm mostly squirrel hunting, then same quiver but with four blunts and two broadheads.

If I'm mostly rabbit hunting then a back quiver with a few broadheads and however many blunts I currently own.
