Every time I get a good deal on a 2219 or 2216 I pick them up.

I just got into woods though and will probably be stockpiling 80/85, 85/90 shafts whenever I can find them. I could never have enough arrows.

If I break one I buy two.

I wish I had the extra money to. I still have the first 6 carbons and 2 need feathers that I need to find cheap. I am going to start making my own as soon as I can get enough time. Working all the time got a 3 yr old and getting married doesnt leave alot of time or money.
Until next time

Hey Willrett, you have enough to get the job done, Got to love carbons they just last. If you had the money than you'll have a bucket full just sitting there like the most of us.

I have a few cedar repairarrows laying around and doz and a half of carbons, half of those need fletching.

I have enough supplies on hand for around 1,500 small game arrows. The deal was just too good to pass up, and trying to shoot squirrels out of trees means that arrows don't last very long.

I keep a few on hand for my son, my dad and myself.  Probably took that pic a couple of years ago. I keep a variety of spines for different bows and shooters.  Plus box of carbons, microflites, aluminums,fletched arrows, finished shafts and buckets of arrows like bowdoc.  Can't ever have too many arras!!!

I have lots and lots of arrows ... wood, aluminum, carbon. I love quivers and quivers have to be full of arrows. Just started selling a few I'll never shoot but I'm sure I'll be buying more.

When Glenn St Charles had his archery store I used to go in there just to pass the time of day,get free coffee, flirt with Suzanne and drool over all the cool stuff in the museum. One of the things that always was of interest to me was all the quivers full of arrows. Those were the best of times in my traditional archery past.

I try to buy all the odd lots of cedar arrows from 40 to 65 pounds or so.  I usually end up refletching them and I put a blunt on them and go squirrel hunting.  On a good day I can lose 8-10 arrows.  On a great day, I can lose 8-10 arrows and connect with a squirrel.  Bill
