Title: how many arrows do you have...
Post by: Kenny Henderson on May 08, 2014, 07:49:00 PM
I want to buy some new arrows but my wife says I have too many right now, I don't think so, she doesn't understand different spines for different bows, she doesn't understand cedar, aluminum and carbon! How about helping a fellow tradganger out and post some pics of your arrow supply! I get to buy some new arrows if someone can post a pic of more arrows than me.....

I guess that's one of the plus's about being divorced no more bickering over my addictions.

11 with 12 more in the works

I only own one bow and only shoot one arrow configuration.  Some are fletched as flu-flu's, one is bareshaft, and the rest are regular fletching.  When I get below a dozen, I make another batch

I have close to 100, carbons and aluminum. Yet as many as I have, I'll look til it gets dark, for a lost one. I hate losing one, lol.

I just spent a couple hours sorting arrows and putting them in arrows cases.  I have almost 50 dz!   Gotta sell some at ETAR.

Post by: azhunter on May 08, 2014, 11:38:00 PM
8-10 dozen probably.

Oh my gosh I am so envious of you guys with all of your arrows!  I just finished repairing some of mine and to my delight found that I have 14 shooters which is a record for me.  Most of the time I make do with six or twelve.  I read books like the Witchery of Archery and I am envious at how they were willing to loose or break a dozen arrows or more in a day of small game shooting.  Nine times out of ten I don't take a shot while small game hunting because I know that I will loose my arrow in the brush.  I wish that I could afford to loose an arrow or two every trip but arrows are exceedingly expensive.

I once asked a fellow tradganger how many cedar arrows and shafts he had and he casually answered "about 3000"

I have about 2 dozen carbons made up at any given time. I probably have 6 dz or more bare shafts at any given time also. I spine my carbon shafts and group them into close groups.

I just bought 100 bamboo shafts for my all wood bow that I like top play with too.

Plus I have 3-4 dz in my "old arrow" bucket.

Soooooo, to answer your question, I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 dz arrows right now!

About four dozen crested, fletched and ready to go. Another four dozen or so bare shafts. Most of them aluminum, a few carbons.

Post by: Hopewell Tom on May 09, 2014, 06:37:00 PM
Well, it seems not quite enough...

Couple of dozen Sherwoods, 6 - 2018 AO Flu-Flus and 2 dozen 2018 AO ready to be made up.
This will inspire be to ramp things up, I think.

Can't have too much ammo.

"But honey, you just don't understand: this purse just doesn't go with these shoes" Just a suggestion: take a picture of ALL her shoes and Purses and the next time she's in a shopping mood you might just "accidentally" make the pictures "available" for her to see. You won't have to say much the next time you need a new batch of arrows, quiver, etc. Just a suggestion. LOL  Rich

I would have to go count and that is not going to happen.

Off the top of my head, I have 10-12 dz carbons, another 3 dozen woodies and 2 dz bamboo arrows ready to shoot.

Another 3-4 hundred wood/bamboo and 6 dz carbon shafts to be made up yet.
