I wonder if I might have a problem... Seems like I can't help my self when it comes to buying arrows. Not that I have a lot of them yet, but I always want more. Ordered half a dozen just five minutes ago...
So I am a little curious, how many arrows do my fellow trad-gangers own?
Settle in - you're gonna see a LOT of arrows...
I own about 2.5 dozen arrows for regular shooting and about 2 Dozen odds and ends, then 5 dozen shafts when those arrows need replacing.
There ar much worse things to be addicted to.
Ill get back to you next week, its going to take a while to count these things. :eek:
I have heard it said that one can never have too many arrows. If so, then there can be no such thing as an addiction. Go for it!
I have too many. I went thru a long time of experimenting and have a ton of arrows that are no longer suitable for me. I plan to haul them along to shoots this summer and see if I can get a few bucks for them and get them to new homes.
I think saying I have ten dozen fletched shafts is not a lie at all and I also have numerous dozen bare shafts in waiting AND a carton of probably 300 - 500 3/8" ramin shafts are on the shelf, to be some day made into skwerl arrows. Its a disease for sure.
CHuckC
I had over a thousand back in November. I've been slowly whittling away at the collection.
I don't ever consider buying them by half a dozen,my minimum is 3 dozen at times with some max of 300 shafts in a single order.
Not a man alive can have too many arrows. I have arrows for treerats, got arrows for deer hunting, got arrows for turkeys, got arrows for 3D, got arrows for smashing on rocks and trees on ironman or hammer courses...oh yeah, that reminds me I need a dozen more! Thanks.
Probably 8 or 10 dozen out in the barn and still looking for more.
At least three dozen less than I want :bigsmyl:
Including bowfishing arrows, odds and ends, etc., I might have 10 dozen.
String material and serving is a different story. I've got quite a bit of that, and realized yesterday I'm out of some colors...
I keep buying them half a dozen at a time. Expensive little buggers, so I try to spread the cost a little. Six fletched arrows are setting me back about a hundred bucks... I'm balancing on the edge of my budget.
Less than half of mine. These are mostly woodies. Some aluminum and carbon are mixed in.

I have a bunch. :)
Which sounds less than "a lot" and is fewer than "too many"... ;)

What Pops said :bigsmyl:
Too many..is that possible?! :archer2:
A 5 gallon bucket full...??? :archer: :archer:
Addictions are pretty common around here! :goldtooth: :goldtooth: :goldtooth:

Oh, and I have a dozen aluminum shafts coming from Lancaster Archery this week too. :rolleyes:
I've got enough, I think. All I know is that there are some guys on here with more bows than I have arrows.
Seems like I buy arras constantly. Always a pleasure to replace a bloody, broken arra :readit:
Hello,
My name is Bill and I have a problem.
Probably around the 150 at the moment...less bows and knives though... :)
:dunno: :dunno: Cannot count them all, would take too much time.
So many I lost count lol
If I have a combo that works well for a particular bow I own, I like to have at least 5-6 dozen for that bow. I'll best I order more arrows than some small archery shops in a year.
Several hundred. I wouldn't want to really count them. That would take to long.
A hundred bucks for six fletched!!! Yikes.
I can't count all the individual sizes, but there are many dozen of each size aluminum, carbon and woodie spine that I shoot. I love dipping and cresting arrows so I have to have enough to do some when I please.
D.P.

Exactly! Not sure how many I have and I'm not going to do an exact count.....but several bows, different sets for each, multiple sets, arrows for hunting, target, stumping, flu flu's....arrows I've shot in the past and are just sitting in boxes for a rainy day..... I'm sure I have at a minimum 20 dozen. That's a mix of wood, carbon and even some aluminum. And its also an accumulation of sorts.....some of those arrows may be as old at 25 years or so.
Before you know it, you may have a collection too! :biglaugh: What I would really be interested in knowing, is how many I have broken or lost, going back to when I first started shooting 31 or so years ago! Now that would be something! Oh well, too late to keep track now :archer2:
Counting the dozen that Gary Hall is working on now ? :bigsmyl:
The more you have the less you whince and sulk when you lose or break one!
I have about 200+ around. Mostly woods but a few aluminums. Those are all fletched and ready to go with about 3 dozen broadheads.
Also have 30-40 dozen shafts in wood and a few dozen aluminum shafts.
I get nervous if I get the workbench cleared off and there are no arrows in some stage of assembly.
Do not know. Have dozens here plus an arrow rack full in other house. Also at least 100 shafts. Just got about 8 doz used from family member.
Remember, arrows are expendable ammo. Lose one buy a doz to replace.
Wow! I just realized I have a lot of catching up to do. I have 5 arrows, I used to have 6 but I broke 1. Lol!
5?!? Haha. Just kidding. Re-reading some of the classics like Hunting the Hard Way, Witchery of Archery, and Hunting With The Bow and Arrow and I always marvel at how many arrows those guys churned out for hunts. 50 small game and 50 broad heads for a trip. And thats building them the long way around the block too. I suppose though, once you have got the bow you love building arrows is all thats left aside from shooting and hunting. I need to get back at it and start cranking more out myself and stop buying them premade. I've settled on my bow and I've run out of excuses.
5x 5 gallon buckets of arrows and 2 gross of shafts. 10 sizes of aluminum and 5 or 6 dozen woodies. Can tune a bow 35# to 75# in about 15 minutes by just grabbing the right arrow...........
I've got eleven. Arrows. Not counting the three left for my wheelie bow. Mine are very expensive.
I've got eleven too, not counting the six in order from my pusher. So I guess I have 17 shootable arrows at the moment. Got some others bought off the big auction site some time ago, but I dont shoot them any more. Gold Tip 1535 with 50gr insert and 125gr point, 4" shield and an Easton super 3D nock at 30,5" length is my sweetspot arrow. So why look anyfurther? They are expensive up here, but I keep buying them half a dozen at the time. Hopefully the missis wont find out...
Just tell her arrows,are like rabbits...
They multiply!!!!!!!!!! :readit:
