The first trip I shot 2 animals, and I think that I shot 2 arrows: brought 2 dozen. Seemed ridiculous but arrows never go to waste. This last trip I took 18 hunting arrows and a few practice arrows with target points. The fact is that between warm ups each morning and a few practice shots from blinds I was glad that I took the practice arrows. I shot at 9 animals, lossing 2 and missed one but bending the BH. Sounds like I was going wild but actually was very conservative and just had a lot of opportunities. One animal got a second arrow to hasten it's demise. Rarely do you end up with using more than one arrow per animal and the number that you plan to shoot should guide you. I use cedars and each one did break when shot. Better to feel a little silly with an excess of amo than to spend the week rationing your arrows.
Mike, I can't believe that another one of those camo Screaming Eagle cases still exist. Mine hasn't been used for years since I switched from takedown recurves to longbows but it looks as good as new and I bought mine somewhere around 1995.
