Title: how many arrows?
Post by: aussieman8 on September 01, 2010, 11:32:00 AM
How many arrows do you take with you when you go out hunting. I know of people that take out only 1 arrow to people who take out 12. i personally take out 6.

Four (4) broadheads fit in my Thunderhorn Mini Boa. This year I'll take an Ace Hex Head along in a Piggy Back arrow holder.

I take 3-4 broadhead-tipped arrows and one blunt or judo. I've been known to carry a spare broadhead or two in my fanny in case I need more shots -- I can exchange shot (now dull) broadheads for fresh (sharp) ones.  I've only had two few arrows with me one time and that was an Ontario Black Bear in 1985 that required some unusual decisions.

Three dozen to camp..with 4 bows..
But I only carry 5 or 6 on the hunt, depends on the quiver, always have one judo or small game blunt..
My friends laugh when I unload my truck and see all the arrows, they are compound shooters and only buy 3-5 arrows at a time at Wally-world, and keep them for years...
They never tune a bow or arrow, if it hits where the sight pin is, they are happy....

Until recently I have always used a bow quiver and have carried 4 (3 broadheads, 1 judo). A couple of weeks ago I hunted for the first time with an Arrowmaster quiver and opted to carry 5 (3 broadheads, 2 judos).

I just put a Selway back on my Pronghorn for elk season, since carrying my Safari Tuff with a large pack is kinda cumbersome. So I will carry 4 broadheads and a stumper for elk. When I return to my ST quiver, I usually carry 6 broadheads and a couple of judos; that will be for whitetails, antelope, and turkeys.

Post by: Zbearclaw on September 03, 2010, 01:09:00 PM
Is this a day hunt?  Backpack hunts I usually only carry my five in the quiver but at base camp or the truck have a dozen with broagheads ready to go.

Day hunts usually just the 5 in my great northern.  Sometimes one is a "hammer" blunt other times all are broadheads.  I know a few guys that had big hunts ruined because a fall broke their quiver full and they didn't have backups at the truck...

Post by: TooManyHobbies on September 03, 2010, 01:21:00 PM
4-6 w/one being a field point or small game head. I like to pick a leaf 15-20 yards from my stand to practice one shot for confidence sometimes.

On my upcoming moose hunt, the quiver will be full of broadheads (6)

Three and one. That may change though to two and one soon enough.

I shot the neck off a grouse the other day and the 165grn. snuffer quickly became a blunt thanks to a rock behind the bird!

Duh!

Well, now I have a blunt with attitude...


Joshua, as surprised as the grouse was.
