Author Topic: How many arrows do you bring to 3D shoot? (Read 2425 times)

I going to my first trad 3D shoot I'm January and wondered how many arrows I should bring.

Also does anybody use small hip or pocket quivers or do you use only back quivers.

Thanks!

Bill

Take three or four. I use a back quiver but most trad shooters I shoot with use either a pocket or side quiver. Some just use their back pockets.

Oh. Some use bow quivers also.

If I wear a back quiver I take 8 or 10, side quiver 6 or 8. 4 or 5 is plenty but I never want to run out of ammo......lol! Most times I shoot wood so I do break an arrow now and then. Take as many as you feel comfortable with!

I generally take 3-4 arrows and I use my cedar ridge quiver. best quiver I've found for 3d shooting.

Usually 6

I usually carry four in a side quiver. However, in winter, I often take six. The targets get hard and sometimes freeze around here. Also, glue holding the points on my woodies tends to get more brittle, and I sometimes lose a point or two in the targets. Temperature shouldn't be a problem in your area though.

I usually bring a quiver full for all the obvious reasons.....LOL!

carry as many as you want, then bring the ones that are not broken or lost back home.

Four in a bow quiver.

I usually take at least 6 for the warm-up bale. Rarely takes more than one arrow to shoot a course, unless there's more than one target per stake.

'Course it varies with your shooting skill and how difficult the course is. Take what you think you will need--better to have too many than not enough. Besides, quivers look better full of arrows.

I usually use my Safari Tuff these days, but hip and bow and side quivers work. A back quiver is the worst for 3-D IMO--dump arrows every time you bend over to pull...at least that's what I did.

This all depends on how good you shoot that bow of yours. I just take what arrows are in my bow quiver, but I've seen shooters break and loose 6-8 arrows after a day of shooting, especially if they are shooting woods.

wtpops · « **Reply #12 on:** December 13, 2011, 02:15:00 PM »

I take 1 dozen, 4 in my bow quiver and 8 in my side quiver. I never use all the 8 in my side quiver but i guess its just piece of mind for me that their there.

Bjorn · « **Reply #13 on:** December 13, 2011, 02:17:00 PM »

I just grab my side quiver it usually has 6-10 woodies and I only shoot one bow.

I usually take 4 good arrows and 2 stunt arrows...in a tube quiver that hooks onto belt. you might want to take a dozen since its your first time. I hardly ever lose an arrow but it does happen

When I shot my first 3D last year, I took 9 arrows in my side quiver. After that, only 4 or 5. At least 1 throw away arrow is a good idea. Those steel plate shots are certain death to your arrow if you miss, unless you miss the whole target.

Usually take three plus old ones for novelty shoot like iron buck!

I take 3-4 in my hip quiver.I leave a few in the truck just in case.

Craig · « **Reply #18 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:03:00 PM »

6 arrows with field points and 1 with judo point. all in a side quiver.

bawana bowman · « **Reply #19 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:23:00 PM »

I generally take 4. Have never lost one, but have had a few end up broken or missing feathers, usually due to someones arrow hitting them.
