I had right about 125, but sold off everything that was too short since my form improved. Now I'm about 70 strong.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"
And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" Isaiah 6:8

No way you'd believe me. I have them stored in 4 places and I don't know how many in any of the four.

Around 5 doz assorted for different pound bows. Maybe 50 old bent, two featherd or broken tip ones sitting in an old box waiting to be recycled.

it's not the number of arrows that you have, it's what you do with whatever you have that counts most.  

and it only takes one well placed, sharp broadhead arrow to make meat ...    ;)

Close to 200 or more made up and another 10 or more dozen shafts. Most are in the 6 main sizes I shoot, 2016,2018,2020,2117,2216,and 2219. Also a few dozen assorted woodies I still use out of some bows. 95% are old stock xx75 with glue on nocks and glue on/in adapters as I dislike uninocks and screw in points and NONE are carbon. By keeping all my old arrows I always have some that shoot well whenever I happen to pick up a new bow.

Maybe 200 made up and another 100 raw shafts waiting.  All P.O. cedar.  I rotate my stock pretty regularly through attrition.

I "used up" five this past weekend bunny hunting (unsuccessfully) and stump shooting (successfully).
