Three BH's when hunting deer and/or turkeys.

Years ago rattled in my 1st buck, which was leaving my area. I fell apart, dropped the 1st arrow, missed point blank with the 2nd and spined him with the 3rd. Nothing to brag about but sometimes confessions make the next opportunity turn out a little smoother. I have harvested three deer and two turkeys that permitted a 2nd shot opportunity.

Depends on which quiver I am using.  With a bow mount quiver I carry four broadheads and one judo.  With my back quiver I carry five broadheads and two judos.

I will have 6 broadheads and 2 judo points and on a couple of occasions I have had to sit down and resharpen all of the broadheads after getting sidetracked by grouse, squirells, or rabbits while hunting. One time when I was hunting elk a Pine Marten got curious and by the time he was done demonstrating that he could dodge my arrows quite easily along with some just plain bad shooting on my part I had to call it quits for the day because I didn't have any arrows left in my quiver!

I usually start out the season with 4 broadheads and then later go down to 3. I missed a doe 4 times once...all under 20yds., and have shot twice a lot of times (twice last season). Think I will carry a dull broadhead this yr and start taking a practice shot each hunt. It fairly rocky where I hunt, but every now and then can find a soft spot to shoot at.

3 Broad Heads and 1 Judo in my quiver. But I always carry spares of each in my pack, as well as a file. Judos sometimes bend or break. Broad Heads I have never needed. But it is always a long way home for more.

Title: Re: How many broadheads you carry?
Post by: Bowwild on May 15, 2011, 11:26:00 AM
I typically have 4 arrows in my bow quiver which I take off the bow and hang in my gree or lean against the wall of my blind. I have 3 broad-head-tipped arrows and 1 field tip or judo.  Sometimes, especially if I'm hunting away from my home place, I'll carry a few spare, ready-to-hunt broadheads in secure, protective cases.  This way, if I miss I can retrieve the arrow and replace the broadhead with a sharp one.

I have needed a follow-up arrow on a couple of deer and a black bear.

Liberal deer limit in CT, so I carry a full quiver. 4 sharpies and two field points for practice shots. My first trad deer I shot twice within seconds. Last year killed a doe and missed an 8pt, five minutes later.

I use a 6 arrow Selway slide on quiver full of broadhead tipped arrows. I also carry one arrow with a field point attached with piggie backers, and then alot of times loose the field tipped arrow once on stand just to make sure everything is working properly.

I usually carry 3 to 4 bh depending on the amount of arrows I own at the time. I will also admit to shooting them all and not hurting anything but my pride! Take as many as you can carry plus 2 more.

Thanks everybody for answering.I have a three and four arrow Eagles Flight quiver.With my new lighter bow the 4 arrow seems to make the bow feel top heavy.The 3 arrow feels great.What I was going to do was carry a extra broadhead in my pack and a extra arrow with piggy back clips to give me 4 broadheads.Anybody else do this?
