I got 15 wood target arrows. 4 woodies with hunting broadheads, and 4 woodies with judos. Then I got 8 carbons that double as target and hunting arrows.

I make them up as I break them up!

Well, I have one less as of last night 'cause my wife decided to whack our barking dog with one of my woodies.

My question to her : "Why didn't you whack her with one of yours?"

Her answer to me : "Cause I didn't want to break of mine."

I don't have that kind of time, plus I dunno if ya count all the maimed arrows awaiting repair or cannibalization as "partials", to be sorted into fractional values. The bent ones I would consider entire, of course, for counting purposes.

But again, either I go to work today earning money, or I face the spectre of sorting all these sticks for free, and actually seeing how much repair work I have ahead of me. Lots easier to just buy another dozen or two at this year's trad shoots!  :jumper:

I have a total of almost 100 arrows, but I never have more than 10 fit for one bow. About 30-40 of them are broken.  :biglaugh:

I thought it was a sickness specific to me. I feel better knowing I'm in good company! I have about 200 shootable; wood, aluminum, and carbon. I also have over 100 wood shafts waiting for attention; Cedar, Douglas Fir and now some Ramin dowels to play with, and I'm already thinking about some Hexshafts. What is really sick is that I live on a 27' sailboat. Messing with arrows helps me deal with cabin fever during winter, and times I can't shoot. One winter I tied hundreds of flies. I'd love to start building a bow, but no room for it, the small things have to suffice.

    And then I have a collection of Wood arrows left over from ones I bought, I like to keep 1 or 2 of each dz I buy, So I can look at the differant feathers and cresting etc....
    I thought I had a bunch untill I read what most of Ya'll have......

uhhh... five. All tapered ramin stumpers: self-nocks, nutter heads, fletched with duct tape and crested with permanent marker (so ugly that they have a beauty all their own)    :)  $0.96 and 20 minutes each

(feeling some serious SHAFT-envy here fellas)

on the up side, they are cheaper per shot than .22LR and they hit like hammers.

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.
