How many arrows do you carry?
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:41:00 PM »
I have a 4 arrow quiver for my Whip (I think its a selway but may be wrong). When I have gone out this season I have fought with myself on if the 4 in my quiver is enough. I dedicate one spot for either a flu flu or small game arrow, which leaves me 3.....

I know I really only need one arrow...am I the only one who lacks the confidence and finds somewhere to stuff one more arrow?

3.....2 for big game and a bunny thumper on day hunts or while moose hunting. Alpine I carry 3 with broadheads.
Just this Alaskan's opinion

Depends on what I'm doing. Skwerl hunting seems to eat a lot of arrows.

I carry 4 broadheads when I deer hunt.  Since I can shoot more than one deer and to ensure if I miss.

I have always thought about the extra judo for squirrel.

3 and a judo

Two quivers one is a 4 arrow,3 broadhead one small game or roving head. If hunting small game or long backpack trips I take my 6 arrow quiver 5 broadhead one small game head and multiple back up heads.

I carry five in my bow quiver (Selway slide on) - four broadheads and hex head.  Sometimes I add an extra hex head using piggy backers.

I carry 4 deer-ready broadheads and a field point/dull practice broadhead in my Great Northern quiver.

The field point/dull broadhead is always put in the same spot to avoid any confusion if I have to find an arrow in a hurry.

Two, both broadheads when hunting for Deer, Elk, Cougar, and Bear.  I don't like to have a lot hanging off my bow when I have to break brush.  If I want more arrows, I carry a back quiver which usualy has bird and squirrel arrows with two extra broadheads.

I can carry 3. I have the Alaska Bowhunting Supply 3 arrow quiver. I like the idea of being able to transfer it from one bow to the next in a couple of minutes.

I use to carry too many, in my current bow quiver 4-5 in a GN, or 5 in the Bear. I don't like the extra weight.

For deer hunting, three would be ideal for me. But since my Great Northern holds five, that's how many broadheads I take.
