It's good to have a few bows but to be honest, a bow without arrows/BH's is just another billy club; I am focusing on getting my inventory of arrows/BH's way up;
What's your inventory looking like?
:campfire:
1 bow, 3 strings, a dozen arrows, about 18 broadheads...2 different models of Magnus.
I'm somewhat of a minimalist...once I find what works, I go with it. I may order another dozen arrows soon, though.
2 bows the same make and specs(one is also interchangeable to longbow) 5 dz arrows- 44 tipped with various broadheads- 8tipped with hex heads- 8tipped with feild points!!! All my bows can shoot any of the arrows(tuned to)
I usually build and tune a dozen arrows.3 are bareshaft,3 have field points and 6 have broadheads.I then make up 3 blunts to interchange with the field points.If I brake or lose a broadhead arrow,I replace it by fletching one of the bare shaft.
I have 4 bows that will tune to one type arrow.After my initial dozen,I wanted to play with more FOC so I built a second dozen.So 2 dozen arrows,1 dozen broadheads.
I have one other bow cut a good bit past center and it takes a different arrow.I did basically the same thing so 2 dozen for it with a dozen broadheads.
These will last me a long time.
2 bows (one on reserve) 2 strings, 16 arrows; 6 broadheads, 10 field points.
I've found that the more arrows I have, the faster I seem to go through them. With a minimal supply, I pay more attention to shots and focus more on not losing or breaking any when target or stump shooting. It has helped with my consistency since I don't have an "unlimited" number of arrows to throw at the target.
Oh dear....
10 bows
Somewhere around 100 arrows (Beeman MFX 340s & a few mixed woodys & ally)
Probably in excess of 200 broadheads, in a bucket. A good mixture of just about everything. 2, 3 & 4 bladed.
I have 2 bows a dozen arrows a piece and 3 broadheads for each. Always trying new broadheads so I haven't stocked up on any yet. Thinking about going to the same arrow for both bows and adjusting with a differnt point weight.
BH & arrow poor w/maybe a hundred each or more. Prefer Ace 160gr on heavy wood shafts. 750gr total. Guess I could trade bunches I'm not using. All 2-blades.
Somewhere around half a dozen bows, couple hundred arrows and broadheads.
finished arrows, probably 4-5 dozen with at least another 100 shafts waiting to be built.. BH's couple of dozen ACE 160 & 200 grain plus a couple of dozen STOS 160's... That's the woodies
Got a big trashcan about full of assorted carbons and aluminum arrows in various stages of complete..
1 Bow, 16 arrows, 3 judo points, 3 hammer small game heads, 6 woodsman broadheads, and a partridge in a pear tree*
*As soon as partridge comes back into season I'll fling an arrow at him, I promise.
Too many!
2 bows, dozen arrows for each, probably 10 bh an array of field points and blunts. Just started not long ago. I'm afraid it will grow with time!
Two take down recurves, thirty 2212 aluminum arrows, six 3 blade Muzzy 75 grain broadheads and eighteen 2 blade STOS broadheads broken down into six 130 grain, six 145 grain and six 160 grain.
I'm not going to include the 2114s, 2213s, 2215s and 2117s which are my heavy to very heavy arrow setups.
Some dozens of bows some houndreds of BHs and arrows.
:dunno:
Bill
not enough
I only have one bow a Northern Mist Classic. 55 @ 28" 68" long Im fixin to order a Hill for a backup or front up. I have 3 dozen Surewoods, 2 dozen old but good PO cedars, 1 dozen CX Heritages. My favorite arrows that shoot the best are the Shurewoods with 3 fletch LW shields cut 28.5 BOP 540 grains, one dozen 160 grain STOS, 1 dozen ACE bunny busters and a couple dozen field points.
I seem to find myself one bow short of what I "need"; about a dozen arrows shy of where I want to be; and 3 broadheads below a perfect inventory. I am a sick, sick, man.
Hello, I have 3 bows 257 arrows and 128 B/H IN 2,3,4
blades.I still think I do not have enough arrows???
MAY THE SPIRIT OF FRED BEAR GUIDE OUR ARROWS.
3 bows one on order, maybe 30 or so broadheads and 100 or so arrows
6 bows, several hundred aluminum arrows, several hundred more aluminum shafts,(dont want to run out when easton quits making my sizes), couple dozen 160 snuffers, maybe a dozen assorted other broadheads.............
At present, about 30 bows and close to 300 arrows with about 2+ dozen with broadheads on them, and around 300 wood shafts laying around.
Arrows for the poor. :bigsmyl:
How many pairs of shoes does Imelda Marcos have again?
I take the fith.
just sold my one and only bow (with 12 arrows) to a buddy... so NO bow, NO arrows, but 6 VPA terminators! P.S. i gott another bow i am trying out though as we speak.. wont be long!
Come on guys, dont answer this. Its a trick. I know my wife put you up to it. Admit nothing !!!!
I got a bunch of different size and make carbons for two bows. I try to make up a doz. for hunting season and keep about a doz. or so of 3 or 4 different type broadheads with various weights of broadhead adapters.
I have technically 5 Bows but one of em are with a friend.
Bear Grizly 56" 50# @ 28"
Bear Super Grizly 58" 45# @ 28"
Sky Sky Hawk 60" 47# @ 27"
Same Sky Hawk with 62" 56# @ 27"
Zona T/D Recurve 60" 49# @ 27"
For each bow I have minimum of 2 sets of strings.
For each bow I have a minimum of 18 target arrows.
For each bow I have a minimum of 6 hunting arrows.
14 Bows and I have a couple out on loan also. About 10 dozen arrows and 70 BHs. Need a lot more of everything, I think. Shooting 2 Bows currently ( Both at the same weight 54# ) getting ready for hunting season.
More of each, than I need. But I want more. :archer2:
I have a bin separated into compartments and marked by spine class. The range is 30#-115#, and I have arrows in every class, some in two or three lengths. That doesn't include my "active" arrows, a few dozen that shoot from whatever bows I've been using most recently. All wood. I own one aluminum arrow because I killed an elk with it, and no carbons. Wait, I do have that dozen carbons that came with a bow, but I don't use them. I don't even like to pick them up- too skinny, almost as unnatural feeling as aluminum. :) I also have a couple of thousand wood shafts and a bunch of nocks, points, finishes, and fletching for replenishing my stock.
Bows? Do you have to count them all, or just the shooters? Broadheads? Plenty, mostly in the 160-190 grain range.
I'm not a collector- all of my stuff gets used, if it's usable. Very little of it would have any real value to anyone else, but everything I have has history, and a story behind it. You can't put a value on that!
I'm less than a year in trad but so far I've got 36 arrows, and 12 broadheads (six 125gr Magnus, six 170gn Zwickey)for my longbow.
I just got my recurve last week so I'll be testing arrows and buying another dozen for it soon, probably a different set of broadheads for it too.
Then there is this other bow I've got my eye on, once I get it I'll be setting up to make my own wood arrows for it. I assume that is when things are going to get seriously out of control.
I only have one bow, a recurve, but I definitely won't be complete as a human bean until I have one, maybe two more. I'm thinking longbow next spring.
I have four dozen arras. two of those dozen I'm trying to get rid of. Obviously I won't be complete as a human bean until I have three dozen more. And that is before I try woodies. I do however have a bucket-o-feathers.
I have a couple dozen old Razorbaks and Thunderheads and various other broadheads, not one of them worthy of my recurve so I am about to pull the trigger on a dozen, half dozen Terminators and a half dozen Magnus I's (which I might trade for) or STOS with adaptors. That won't fully complete me as a human bean but at least it will get me out of a pitiful state of want.
What I am truly long on is tabs and gloves. I have a Bateman that is too small (LG) a Neet trad glove that is too big (an XL) and I just ordered
a LG. I have a Neet calf hair with nock holes worn in two fingers. I have a Saunders plastic thing that is too complicated for me. Lots of Neet and no-name calf hair tabs in various states of disrepair, a Batement XL tab that I removed the second layer of suede from. It's a pile. Since I always shot my wheelie bow with fingers, it's a 25 year collection.
I do not have a spare string. So I am woefully incomplete there, probably because I have been expending my toy budget on gloves and tabs.
And I need to get a bow quiver, as I am currently using a back quiver and an old artillary shell for fixed position shooting. (It is a 1942 5", 98 caliber, naval round made by the BB Company.)
But now that I said all that, I have thought of at least two dozen other things I need right away or I won't stand a chance out there...
I'm going to go shoot my bow now.
