I have a stock pile of 7 functional arrows from the original 12 I bought 4-5 years ago.   :)

I have 6 arrows ready to go. I just keep repairing them with Reparrows.    :archer:

My hero when it comes to arrows ( and my defense when my wife says I have too many) is the quote from Chet Stevenson (The Olde Bowhunter book).
He talks about his fascination with arrows and "that he has enough to shoot an arrow every sixty seconds for eight hours a day and could be shooting into the fourth day."

I do, but only aluminums. Got a bunch of the Easton Autumn orange, and the Legacy's. If they do stop making aluminum shafts, I'm in good shape.

Stockpile??? I have enough to help Cromm if called upon.

Too many to even count would be my number. Vast majority wood but some alum. thrown in for good measure. No carbons though.

I'm getting packed to move... And figuring out I've squirreled away way more goodies than I figured. Not enough mind you, just more than I knew I had.

I don't understand the concept? Stockpiling? What's that?
That language doesn't compute for someone who actually hates making arrows.

I buy when I have money, I try to trade for them when I don't.

The only rule I have about numbers of arrows is I want to make sure I have more of them than I do bows. I seriously doubt I have ever had too many or even enough that I could feel comfortable enough that I wasn't always looking/searching out where I might find the next good deal.

I've started to stockpile arrows. I learned my lesson the hard way. I loved to shoot 2113 and 2115 aluminum arrows and then Easton discontinued both sizes.    :mad:   I had to add one inch of length to the arrows I now shoot so today, I'm a ordering a dozen 2215s.
