Title: How many arrows do you carry?
Post by: Jethro21 on January 02, 2010, 10:41:00 PM
I have a 4 arrow quiver for my Whip (I think its a selway but may be wrong). When I have gone out this season I have fought with myself on if the 4 in my quiver is enough. I dedicate one spot for either a flu flu or small game arrow, which leaves me 3.....

I know I really only need one arrow...am I the only one who lacks the confidence and finds somewhere to stuff one more arrow?

Depends on what I'm doing. Skwerl hunting seems to eat a lot of arrows.

I carry 4 broadheads when I deer hunt.  Since I can shoot more than one deer and to ensure if I miss.

I have always thought about the extra judo for squirrel.

Two quivers one is a 4 arrow,3 broadhead one small game or roving head. If hunting small game or long backpack trips I take my 6 arrow quiver 5 broadhead one small game head and multiple back up heads.

I carry five in my bow quiver (Selway slide on) - four broadheads and hex head.  Sometimes I add an extra hex head using piggy backers.

Post by: leftybearfan on January 02, 2010, 11:27:00 PM
I carry 4 deer-ready broadheads and a field point/dull practice broadhead in my Great Northern quiver.

The field point/dull broadhead is always put in the same spot to avoid any confusion if I have to find an arrow in a hurry.

Two, both broadheads when hunting for Deer, Elk, Cougar, and Bear.  I don't like to have a lot hanging off my bow when I have to break brush.  If I want more arrows, I carry a back quiver which usualy has bird and squirrel arrows with two extra broadheads.

I can carry 3. I have the Alaska Bowhunting Supply 3 arrow quiver. I like the idea of being able to transfer it from one bow to the next in a couple of minutes.

I use to carry too many, in my current bow quiver 4-5 in a GN, or 5 in the Bear. I don't like the extra weight.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry?
Post by: Jason R. Wesbrock on January 03, 2010, 12:58:00 AM
For deer hunting, three would be ideal for me. But since my Great Northern holds five, that's how many broadheads I take.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry?
Post by: Charlie Schweikert on January 03, 2010, 02:03:00 AM
I carry 3 BH, 1 judo in a 4-arrow bow quiver; 4 BH, 1 judo in a 5-arrow bow quiver.  Carry the judo with nock into the hood, judo point back at the nocks of the other arrows, always in the same place in the quiver to make sure I don't mess up.

Fourteen ! I like chasing ground squirrels . I kill lots of arrows. 6 broad heads and 8 jados or blunts. When calling coyotes or deer hunting its 8 broad heads and 4-6 jados .

If I'm deer hunting,I have a bow quiver,with 3 broadhead arrows,and how ever many spaces are left get filled with hexhead tipped arrows.

If I'm small gaming...can never have enough.Bow quiver plus back quiver...sometimes just a five arrow bow quiver,sometimes just the back quiver with 6-10 arrows.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry?
Post by: wingnut on January 03, 2010, 06:44:00 AM
Normally 4 broadheads and two small game.  If I'm covering a lot of ground like when elk hunting, I throw in another broadhead.

One year we had a very good grouse population and I caught one of the guys with 2 broadheads and flu flus in his quiver.  No wonder he got more grouse.

LOL

Post by: ishoot4thrills on January 03, 2010, 09:32:00 AM
Well, until Monday, I carried 4 broadhead tipped arrows in my Kanati bow quiver(it only holds 4 btw). Since Monday, I have decided to change one over to a Judo tipped arrow. So, now I carry 3 with b-heads and one with a Judo. I like to shoot the Judo at something(stump, stranded leaf, tuft of grass, etc.) while on stand sometimes before I get down. I also like to shoot stuff with the Judo while walking to and from my stand. It helps get me loosened up and focused when I shoot stuff on the way to my stand.

I used to carry 4 b-head tipped arrows in my bow quiver and one Judo arrow attached via "piggy-backer" to one of those arrows in my quiver. Since then, I've switched over to skinny carbons and my piggy-backer no longer fits them. So, that's why I replaced one of my b-head arrows in my quiver with a Judo one.

I depends on which outfit I take, but usually it's three broadheads and one or two blunts/judos. I have 4 and 5 arrow quivers. I rarely shoot more than one broadhead a day, but it's nice to have them along just in case. I almost always shoot a blunt or two out of my tree stand before I climb down, sometimes more if I see more squirrels than deer.

Occasionally i use a hip or side quiver and i'll carry 3 broadheads and two blunts or judo's . but i much prefer to carry a back quiver whilst hunting as i hunt stumps and rabbits just as much as i hunt game and as such i need to carry an enormous supply of blunts , judo's , flu flu's and old broadheads .....
the whole thing is so much more fun when i'm able to fling arrows without fear of coming up short when a stag wanders by or that big ol'  Tuskered hog needs  feathered attention .
more importantly , as i walk back to the car from my day afield and the sun sets , the rabbits will be out and the rotten old stump on the track back to the car needs some serious whackin ...

I carry a Timm O lite tube style side quiver with 4 broadheads and two judos.  Used to only carry 2 of each until this year.  In Ohio you can kill 2 deer a day and earlier this year I had spine shot a small buck and had to follow up with a quick second shot to the lungs but when I got down two more does walked within 10 yards of me.

If I plan to be out there for a few hours or more I wear my cat quiver with 4our broadheads, and a couple of blunts. If I'm merely o;n a short jaunt to check out something I have a two blade single arrow quiver on my bow, and I carry another in my right hand. I'm very focused at all times about where the hand arrow is pointed.
