Anyone ever stock pile arrows?

frassettor · August 01, 2010, 01:53:00 PM

I find myself ordering extra arrows without needing them right away. I will "save them for a rainy day". Luckily I only shoot 1 kind of arrow.. Anyone else do this, if so how many do you stock pile?

Not nearly enough, it seems! I bought 4 dozen extra XX78 2016s a couple of years back--they stopped making that spine and I'm down to 18 shafts. When I find a shaft my bow likes, and there's a good buy, I will usually buy a few dozen. Cedar, I'll buy a hundred.

I usually buy a dozen every year weather I need them or not. Not a bad idea to have spare shafts on hand these days.

I have bought arrows when I get a good buy on them and have not used or made them up for a couple of years.

Guilty! I probably have over 200 raw cedar shafts awaiting my clumsy efforts!

Yes, I should have enough to last for the rest of my life.

I've got about 2000 shafts awaiting my retirement @ the end of the year, w/enough feathers to match. Hap

Of course! What else can you do in winter when you're snowed in? Make arrows!

yaderehey · August 01, 2010, 03:25:00 PM

I've got tons of wooden shafts stockpiled. I sure wish I would have stockpiled more feathers though as my older ones seem to be much higher quality.

JEFF B · August 01, 2010, 04:21:00 PM

i stock pile as many as i can get my hands on as they are so expencive and the price just keeps going up. $5.95 for one poc shaft.

Izzy · August 01, 2010, 04:51:00 PM

No, I only have about 300 or so but now that you mention this I should start stockpiling now.

wv lungbuster · August 01, 2010, 04:59:00 PM

Great idea I'm down to only a about a 100 shafts.

John3 · August 01, 2010, 05:05:00 PM

Yes..! I have 100's of shafts.. Alum, cedar and Gold Tips.. Any bow that I would buy the rest of my life I will have a shaft on hand that it "likes"...

Hud · August 01, 2010, 05:32:00 PM

Too many shafts in heavy spine, not enough in some lighter spines. Mostly POC, but have Fir, Spruce, Lodgepole and some laminated Birch. Aluminum in different sizes and some that should be sold to someone that can use them. Lots of old fiberglass arrows, some that won't get used.
Need to thin the shelves before I buy more, but I am not making any promises. Too many to count, same with feathers. Buying online is too easy.

vtmtnman · August 01, 2010, 05:35:00 PM

I'm still dangerously low.I only have on hand around 500 or less in various stages of completion.

Need to get up to comfortable level soon.(Above 1000)

Cromm · August 01, 2010, 05:44:00 PM

I live on the east of England and you never know when or if the French may try something on. So at the mo I have about 500+
