Title: Arrowholics
Post by: Bear Heart on February 26, 2009, 11:47:00 AM
I have noticed that some people I shoot with are always changing arrows.  Last week could be 1916, this week 2018, next week 2016.  I just like to find what shoot well and has the characteristics I'm looking.  Then I stick with it for that bow.
Anyone else have that arrow addiction.

I am guilty of having lots of arrows.I shoot a big variety of bows and just like a bunch of arrows.:)I recently gave away all my aluminums since wood or mostly carbon is all I shoot now.That was 11 dozen arrows and I have twice that many carbons left.   :biglaugh:

I am an arrowholic. I have many dozon wood aluminums, and carbon. My reasoning is this. I am retired and wife retires in a few years. Stock up now for when the paychecks stop. If nothing else I have "tradebait" for future.

I like having the 1 arrow for 2 bows. It cuts down on my foolin around.< But I guess foolin around can be fun to

I don't switch arrows for a bow, but I have lots of bows and lots of arrows. Every time I would see Brandywine arrows at a shoot, I would usually find something so pretty that I had to take it home with me, too, so I have a LOT of arrows.

I stock up on my favorite aluminums when I can as well, too, as they are the workhorses of my stable. And then there is the shafting, laying fallow and awaiting the crafting into darting, deathdealing missiles for the hunt.

There are worse things to have lying about the house.

I have my bows tuned to my arrows, bows are 45# 50#55# woods and alum. shoot 3 under two of my bows have 2 nocking points one is for 15 yds and under. And the other are 20 to 60 yords,shoot 40-50-60-yards at senior olympic in spring, takes a bit of tweeking to git bows set up.In prosses of making another set ow woodies for compatition. I carry 12 and 4 spares keep splitting arows or R. hooding.

Anybody that knows me is witness to the amount of arrows I own. Wood, carbon and 2016's. "Can't have enough ammo" I say. All my bows are close in draw weight so they kinda like the same arrow, I guess.
