Title: how many arrows do you carry?
Post by: stack on August 10, 2015, 09:02:00 PM
How many do you carry when just going out for a few hours close to home? I carry 2 broadheads and 1 blunt.

Two BHs, no blunts.  My buddies think that I'm crazy but I like the lightness of a slender longbow and a sleek two arrow quiver

I use a 5 arrow quiver, so I carry 5 arrows! Most of the time I carry all broadheads, but once in a while I will go with 4 broadheads and a blunt/judo. I use the same quiver whether I am close to home or far abroad!

Depends on what and where I'm hunting. If hunting white tails then a five arrow bow quiver.
If hunting Javelina and doing a lot of walking, I have a back quiver with no less than eight.

When I used a 4 arrow quiver, it was 3 bh's and one field tip with a shell casing glued over it for a blunt tip just in case I come across a Grouse.  Now that I have a 6 arrow quiver, I may go 5-1 or 4-2.

I use a 6 arra selway.  4 broadheads, 1 blunt of some fashion, and one field tip.  I like to make a
Practice shot on the walk in of the evenings.  It's about 3/4 mile in to where I hunt so while leaving the truck I usually find a mud hole or bank with a suspicious looking leaf to shoot at.

Been taking four and will again this year, but will be including an extra rubber blunt tipped arrow using one of those piggy-back connectors. We have a bear problem here in NJ and I'm tired of having my sits ruined when one of the bruins shows up (which occurred 25 times last year). Have heard that a Judo point can/will penetrate the hide so don't want that to happen. Just want to give the offender something to think about before showing up in that area again.

Usually I have 4.. I'd rather have too many than not enough.  I remember the days I would carry 2 because thats all I had lol.

3-4 usually....primarily use a 18 year old Lakota style quiver I bought from guy in back of magazine.  Also use limited GN Quiver and usually carry 4 arrows and one Judo tipped in it.  Have a Steve Catts side quiver on order that will allow more but will likely still only carry 3-4 arrows as got it more to allow 3 blade head carry that my Lakota does not.

I figure one shot...after one miss...with one as extra is enough. LOL

Title: Re: how many arrows do you carry?
Post by: J. Holden on August 11, 2015, 08:11:00 AM
I carried 4 broadheads with me last deer season and will probably do the same this year.  However I'm headed to WY in a few weeks and am making some more just to have 'em.  If I do my part I'll only need to one, right?!

I typically use a bowquiver that holds 4.  I have been shooting all summer without it though.  I believe I may carry 6-8 with me in my Safari Tuff quiver this year.

I always carry 5 broadheads.  I'll inavertentyly nock at least 1 off the string and drop it.  Then if I shoot at a squirrel I'm down to 3.  3 is a reasonable number.  Then when I miss a deer I only have 2.  If I started out with 2 I'd never have a chance.

When I'm hunting deer and turkeys, I usually carry four arrows. When I'm hunting small game I carry a few more.

This thread reminds me of a day deer hunting about 30 years ago. I left the house in the morning with 8 arrows, and came home that night with a bad attitude and an empty quiver.

I shot a whole bunch of arrows at four different bucks that day and never cut a hair. I couldn't do anything right to save my life. I'd killed a few deer before that too.  :dunno:

I carry 4 arrows, usually in a bow quiver that I take off the bow and hang in a tree.

I have 3 broad heads and one field point. When on an extended hunt (out of state) I still carry just 4 arrows but I will have 2-4 spare, ready to use, spare broad heads in my pack.  I can retrieve an arrow and change out the broached if the arrow is still sound. I've never had to do this though.
Title: Re: how many arrows do you carry?
Post by: jsweka on August 11, 2015, 07:52:00 PM
For hunting: 3 - 4 broadheads and two blunts for practice shots out of my stand once I'm settled in.

For 3D shoots:  I pack my back or side quiver full so that when I get off the course it still looks like I have a quiver full of arrows.

I would rethink that logic, sir.  Particularly when posting on a public forum.  You can easily kill a bear with a blunt from internal bleeding.  It has happened to cattle in the past.  Move away from the feeders and you should have less encounters with the bears.
