how many arrows do you have...
« on: May 08, 2014, 07:49:00 PM »
I want to buy some new arrows but my wife says I have too many right now, I don't think so, she doesn't understand different spines for different bows, she doesn't understand cedar, aluminum and carbon! How about helping a fellow tradganger out and post some pics of your arrow supply! I get to buy some new arrows if someone can post a pic of more arrows than me.....

11 with 12 more in the works

I only own one bow and only shoot one arrow configuration.  Some are fletched as flu-flu's, one is bareshaft, and the rest are regular fletching.  When I get below a dozen, I make another batch

I have close to 100, carbons and aluminum. Yet as many as I have, I'll look til it gets dark, for a lost one. I hate losing one, lol.

Oh my gosh I am so envious of you guys with all of your arrows!  I just finished repairing some of mine and to my delight found that I have 14 shooters which is a record for me.  Most of the time I make do with six or twelve.  I read books like the Witchery of Archery and I am envious at how they were willing to loose or break a dozen arrows or more in a day of small game shooting.  Nine times out of ten I don't take a shot while small game hunting because I know that I will loose my arrow in the brush.  I wish that I could afford to loose an arrow or two every trip but arrows are exceedingly expensive.

I once asked a fellow tradganger how many cedar arrows and shafts he had and he casually answered "about 3000"

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

I have about 2 dozen carbons made up at any given time. I probably have 6 dz or more bare shafts at any given time also. I spine my carbon shafts and group them into close groups.

I just bought 100 bamboo shafts for my all wood bow that I like top play with too.

Plus I have 3-4 dz in my "old arrow" bucket.

Soooooo, to answer your question, I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 22 dz arrows right now!
