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:

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.
We are all here because we are not all there.

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.

Settle in - you're gonna see a LOT of arrows...
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:

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.

JMR

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!

Cavscout9753

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...........
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!

halfseminole

I've got eleven.  Arrows.  Not counting the three left for my wheelie bow.  Mine are very expensive.

Trond

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...
