Anyone ever stock pile arrows?
« on: August 01, 2010, 01:53:00 PM »
I find myself ordering extra arrows without needing them right away. I will "save them for a rainy day". Luckily I only shoot 1 kind of arrow.. Anyone else do this, if so how many do you stock pile?

Not nearly enough, it seems! I bought 4 dozen extra XX78 2016s a couple of years back--they stopped making that spine and I'm down to 18 shafts. When I find a shaft my bow likes, and there's a good buy, I will usually buy a few dozen. Cedar, I'll buy a hundred.

I usually buy a dozen every year weather I need them or not. Not a bad idea to have spare shafts on hand these days.

I have bought arrows when I get a good buy on them and have not used or made them up for a couple of years.

Yes, I should have enough to last for the rest of my life.
If it's in your way, move it.

Of course! What else can you do in winter when you're snowed in? Make arrows!

I've got tons of wooden shafts stockpiled.  I sure wish I would have stockpiled more feathers though as my older ones seem to be much higher quality.

No, I only have about 300 or so but now that you mention this I should start stockpiling now.

Too many shafts in heavy spine, not enough in some lighter spines. Mostly POC, but have Fir, Spruce, Lodgepole and some laminated Birch. Aluminum in different sizes and some that should be sold to someone that can use them. Lots of old fiberglass arrows, some that won't get used.
Need to thin the shelves before I buy more, but I am not making any promises. Too many to count, same with feathers.  Buying online is too easy.
