I keep my standard broadheads plus a judo point for "plinking"

You mean a mixture of different head shapes & weights?

When small game hunting I keep a "disposable" Modoc Chief or Zwickey Eskimo broadhead tipped arrow or two for the may-not-get-it-back shots in with my blunts and RibTek broadheads.

Big game hubting I keep five of either Stos 130 gr or Magnus 11 125 gr heads (depending on bow) with a 2" foam insert at the bottom of the quiver so they don't jostle together.  Also two blunts.  But they are all identical broadheads & shafts at any one time.

I was thinking about this over the weekend. I had 6 arrows....3 with Magnus Stinger 4 blades, 2 with the standard black Magnus 2 blades, and 1 with a judo point.

My reasoning is the Stingers are for deer and pigs, and the others are for small game like coons/squirrels/skunks.

It's just my little system, but I like the way it's been working out this season.

I usually have a variety of heads in my bow quiver but primarily Magnus I's and TreeSharks. Reasons being I have many bows I like to hunt with and I have arrows with BH's marked for given bows that fly well from them. I shoot mostly POC's so unlike carbons a one size fits all doesn't always work out.

3 - VPA, 2 - ACE, and 1 - STOS

Why?  Because I feel like it, no other reason.

Most days I have 3- 4blade deltas and 2-2blade deltas. The 2 bladers are for squirrels because they are a little faster to sharpen and dirt comes off easier.

I don't even look when I grab 4 out of the bucket. It's always a nice surprise to pull an arrow for me.  Be it 2, 3 or 4 blade.

Never in my quiver

I want EVERYTHING exactly the same so I don't have to think I know whats coming off that bow

Every arrow is exactly the same-maybe a judo upside down.

I usually carry all the same broadhead/arrow combo but this year I have two Zwickey Deltas and two Magnus broadheads. All are two bladed and fly the same. I also have a judo tipped arrow that usually gets more use than the four broadheaded arrows!  :archer2:    :dunno:

When I hunt deer and elk in my GN I carry four broadheads all Terminators and one Ace hex blunt. Between seasons I carry a random mixture of blunts and judos. Everything else I try to keep exactly the same.

I don't mix broadheads. I will put a judo pt in my 5 arrow bow quiver.

I sometimes start my wood shafts at full length with lighter weight heads, and go up in weight as they break from being shot.  It so happens that this usually lets me stay close to the same total weight with very similar spine and flight characteristics.  Because of this, I have had Bears, Eclipses, and Aces in my quiver at one time.  Not always, but sometimes.
