At present, about 30 bows and close to 300 arrows with about 2+ dozen with broadheads on them, and around 300 wood shafts laying around.

I got a bunch of different size and make carbons for two bows. I try to make up a doz. for hunting season and keep about a doz. or so of 3 or 4 different type broadheads with various weights of broadhead adapters.

14 Bows and I have a couple out on loan also. About 10 dozen arrows and  70 BHs. Need a lot more of everything, I think. Shooting 2 Bows currently ( Both at the same weight 54# ) getting ready for hunting season.

I have a bin separated into compartments and marked by spine class. The range is 30#-115#, and I have arrows in every class, some in two or three lengths. That doesn't include my "active" arrows, a few dozen that shoot from whatever bows I've been using most recently. All wood. I own one aluminum arrow because I killed an elk with it, and no carbons. Wait, I do have that dozen carbons that came with a bow, but I don't use them. I don't even like to pick them up- too skinny, almost as unnatural feeling as aluminum.    :)   I also have a couple of thousand wood shafts and a bunch of nocks, points, finishes, and fletching for replenishing my stock.

Bows? Do you have to count them all, or just the shooters? Broadheads? Plenty, mostly in the 160-190 grain range.

I'm not a collector- all of my stuff gets used, if it's usable. Very little of it would have any real value to anyone else, but everything I have has history, and a story behind it. You can't put a value on that!

I'm less than a year in trad but so far I've got 36 arrows, and 12 broadheads (six 125gr Magnus, six 170gn Zwickey)for my longbow.

I just got my recurve last week so I'll be testing arrows and buying another dozen for it soon, probably a different set of broadheads for it too.

Then there is this other bow I've got my eye on, once I get it I'll be setting up to make my own wood arrows for it. I assume that is when things are going to get seriously out of control.

I only have one bow, a recurve, but I definitely won't be complete as a human bean until I have one, maybe two more. I'm thinking longbow next spring.

I have four dozen arras. two of those dozen I'm trying to get rid of. Obviously I won't be complete as a human bean until I have three dozen more. And that is before I try woodies. I do however have a bucket-o-feathers.

I have a couple dozen old Razorbaks and Thunderheads and various other broadheads, not one of them worthy of my recurve so I am about to pull the trigger on a dozen, half dozen Terminators and a half dozen Magnus I's (which I might trade for) or STOS with adaptors. That won't fully complete me as a human bean but at least it will get me out of a pitiful state of want.

What I am truly long on is tabs and gloves. I have a Bateman that is too small (LG) a Neet trad glove that is too big (an XL) and I just ordered
a LG. I have a Neet calf hair with nock holes worn in two fingers. I have a Saunders plastic thing that is too complicated for me. Lots of Neet and no-name calf hair tabs in various states of disrepair, a Batement XL tab that I removed the second layer of suede from. It's a pile. Since I always shot my wheelie bow with fingers, it's a 25 year collection.

I do not have a spare string. So I am woefully incomplete there, probably because I have been expending my toy budget on gloves and tabs.

And I need to get a bow quiver, as I am currently using a back quiver and an old artillary shell for fixed position shooting. (It is a 1942 5", 98 caliber, naval round made by the BB Company.)

But now that I said all that, I have thought of at least two dozen other things I need right away or I won't stand a chance out there...

I'm going to go shoot my bow now.
