Tough question.

I have been taking one of Mike's pocket quivers.  It will hold four arrows tipped with 2 blade Zwickies.  

Two are razor sharp for big game and two are "target" dull for small game.

It seems to work for me now but I am always changing.

I get nervous with less than 5.  (Don't make me tell you why, LOL!)  I like 7 or 8 or even 9 broadhead arrows, and often another couple of blunts or so.

I figure it's just as easy to carry a bunch of arrows as it is to carry even 2 or 3, so I'd rather be overprepared on the majority of my hunts (or at just adequately prepared on some...)

5 broadheads and 1 judo tipped flu flu for the blue grouse I see when elk hunting.  Getting a grouse for dinner in camp really makes for a great day!

I use both a bow quiver (on my Kota) and a side quiver (with my Mahaska), so it depends on the bow.

Usually 6 arrows because that's what my bow quiver holds. One or two judo/blunts and four broadheads. I can't imagine shooting more than four broadheads in a day, but stumps, squirrels, rabbits, etc. mean I might need more than one judo.

I have a Thunderhorn 6 arrow boa that just feels great on the bow.  I have been shooting it on the bow since I got it in June for fathers day.

Love my kids, makes me smile everytime I use it.

Depends on the situation & conditions but usually a side quiver filled purely for convienience-sake. That means usually 6-8 arrows; one judo and the balance broadheads.  I particularly like the side quiver for treestand hunting.

For spot & stalk I like a bow quiver.  I have both a Thunderhorn limb bolt and a Selway quick detach model. Five broadheads + a judo in these...

Depends on the bow I take. on a recurve I have a bow quiver usualy 4 in it but I end up flinging at squirrels etc when I do that. The selfbow I take 2. I use a handmade solo stalker type quiver or a back quiver I made.
