Title: #of arrows in your quiver
Post by: A.S. on November 27, 2008, 07:33:00 PM
Just wondering how many arrows most guys carry with them whitetail hunting? I'm trying to decided on a quiver for my new bow that is on order. I have a couple in mind, one of my favorites only holds 4 arrows.

I generally carry 4 broadheads and a small game arrow.

Four arrows when I'm in a blind hunting whitetail, six arrows when I'm stalking javelina.

I carry two or sometimes 3 deer hunting.Hog hunting I carry at least a half dozen because it is a long way back to get more if I needed them.

4 broadheads and 2 Hex blunts in the back quiver; sometimes a flu-flu's in there, too.

You got ANOTHER bow ordered, Allen?  :scared:

It changes with which bow/quiver I am carrying but I have heard my buddies say that I am a "few arrows short of a full quiver" so I dont think it's enough!

I use a homemade side quiver. I carry 4 broadheads, one judo and 6 or 7 small game bladed blunts. Most of my deer hunts turn into squirrel hunts, I probably don't need that many broadheads.
Title: Re: #of arrows in your quiver
Post by: DRR324 on November 28, 2008, 08:14:00 AM
4 w/razorcaps.  When I'm deer hunting, I'm deer hunting....however, I won't pass a nice shot at a ruffed grouse.

3---used to carry 5 and just wanted a lighter quiver for easier "pointing". Now I carry 3 broad-head arrows in the small eagle Flight quiver.

If I could find a 3- or 4-arrow bow quiver I liked, that's all I'd use for whitetails. But since my Great Northern holds five, I use five.

Eagles Flight 4 and sometimes an add-on with those rubber things that clip on to one of the arrows in the quiver. Usually 3 BHs and 1-2 small game heads

A side quiver on my Silvertip has 5, and i like to have a few odds and ends in the hide for the Guinny fowle ect,
But this one time when i shot an Ostridge,and the chase began, Andy (Tradtusker) and i realised why some of the old school guys eg Hill liked to carry a back quiver stuffed full of arrows.

I always carry 6 arrows.  When hunting 5 w/ BH and one judo.  Even when practicing I have 6 arrows in the quiver.  I like how it balances my bow.  It also gives me the same feeling practicing as when hunting.

Hi All,

For a lot of years I hunted with a Bear Kodiak Magnum, and had a matching Bear bow quiver that held eight arrows.  At first I always made sure that I had eight arrows with me, but as years past I carried fewer and fewer arrows until I only carried two or three arrows, and never needed more than I had during a deer hunt.

I've had to retire the Kodiak, but for the new bow, I'm looking at a two arrow quiver and a three arrow quiver....haven't decided at this point.  Of course, I do like the look of the Lakota quivers!!  :-)

Out of four bows I have quivers on  three have three. If you can't get a deer  with three get out of the tree. One of my Mohawks has a EaglesFlight Jumbo Quiver. That holds FOUR Cedars very nicely with Zwickey Eskimos.
Title: Re: #of arrows in your quiver
Post by: robtattoo on November 30, 2008, 07:20:00 AM
4 for me. All broadheads (any combination of 2, 3 or 4 bladers!) with a couple of loose blunts in my pocket. I'd rather not waste quiver space with blunts & they only take a second to switch over. (I leave the broadhead in the quiver & just unscrew the shaft) I tried a few different 5 & 6 arrow bow quivers & they're just too heavy to lug around all day  :D
