How many arrows/BH's do you have?
« on: July 09, 2011, 11:43:00 AM »
It's good to have a few bows but to be honest, a bow without arrows/BH's is just another billy club; I am focusing on getting my inventory of arrows/BH's way up;

What's your inventory looking like?

1 bow, 3 strings, a dozen arrows, about 18 broadheads...2 different models of Magnus.

I'm somewhat of a minimalist...once I find what works, I go with it.  I may order another dozen arrows soon, though.

I usually build and tune a dozen arrows.3 are bareshaft,3 have field points and 6 have broadheads.I then make up 3 blunts to interchange with the field points.If I brake or lose a broadhead arrow,I replace it by fletching one of the bare shaft.

I have 4 bows that will tune to one type arrow.After my initial dozen,I wanted to play with more FOC so I built a second dozen.So 2 dozen arrows,1 dozen broadheads.

I have one other bow cut a good bit past center and it takes a different arrow.I did basically the same thing so 2 dozen for it with a dozen broadheads.

These will last me a long time.

2 bows (one on reserve) 2 strings, 16 arrows; 6 broadheads, 10 field points.

I've found that the more arrows I have, the faster I seem to go through them. With a minimal supply, I pay more attention to shots and focus more on not losing or breaking any when target or stump shooting. It has helped with my consistency since I don't have an "unlimited" number of arrows to throw at the target.

Oh dear....

10 bows

Somewhere around 100 arrows (Beeman MFX 340s & a few mixed woodys & ally)

Probably in excess of 200 broadheads, in a bucket. A good mixture of just about everything. 2, 3 & 4 bladed.

I have 2 bows a dozen arrows a piece and 3 broadheads for each. Always trying new broadheads so I haven't stocked up on any yet. Thinking about going to the same arrow for both bows and adjusting with a differnt point weight.

BH & arrow poor w/maybe a hundred each or more. Prefer Ace 160gr on heavy wood shafts. 750gr total. Guess I could trade bunches I'm not using. All 2-blades.

1 Bow, 16 arrows, 3 judo points, 3 hammer small game heads, 6 woodsman broadheads, and a partridge in a pear tree*

*As soon as partridge comes back into season I'll fling an arrow at him, I promise.

2 bows, dozen arrows for each, probably 10 bh an array of field points and blunts. Just started not long ago. I'm afraid it will grow with time!

I seem to find myself one bow short of what I "need"; about a dozen arrows shy of where I want to be; and 3 broadheads below a perfect inventory. I am a sick, sick, man.
