I shoot Axis trads and FMJ's 500's with 100 grain brass up front... they last a long long time if I don't lose them stump shooting. I put aluminum footings on my stump arrows and they are almost indestructible. Most of my bows are in the 46-49# range these days.

In my woody days they would last about a season    :archer2:  of 3D, stumping and hunting
Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good

I generally lose 1-3 arrows in a  year. Another 1-2 may be destroyed by animals I've shot.

I shoot Axis Trad 500's with varying brass insert weights. I also shoot Easton Injection FMJ, and Easton FMJ.

My hunting bows are all between 43-49#s at my draw length.

All my bows except on Bear A-Mag (with custom limbs) are customs.

i shoot a carsage 45lbs @28 w/ 12 strand b55 Flemish padded to 16 strands.30" goldtip nugent 500s with a acculite insert and 50 gr weight with 125 gr points 4 fletch 3 inch gateway whites. i voted 6 months because i shoot about 500-600 arrows a week and group from 8 yards to 30 and slap alot of arrows together, but most of my breaks are from my arrows going through targets and into rocks or the concrete wall behind my target.

Expected, 1 shot. Anything more than that is gravy! Too many variables to accurately calculate.
If I get a pass through, multiple shots.
If I get a pass through and hit a rock, not so much.
If I just shoot foam targets, multiple shots.
if I miss foam targets, not so much.

I stump shoot quite a bit and I foot the shafts. I use Gold Tip trads, VPA VaporRiser with SKY Limbs.

Half a year if I shoot poorly at some of those tougher 3-D targets at the edge of lakes or surrounded by boulders.  'Bout a year for killing paper plates out back.

Started this year out with 18 new'uns. Hoping to always have a dozen around. Stuck a $10 shaft in the shallow root of a small tropical tree several week ago and broke it being in a hurry, but seventeen more are ready.
