Am I an arrow-addict?
« on: April 28, 2015, 07:26:00 AM »
I wonder if I might have a problem... Seems like I can't help my self when it comes to buying arrows. Not that I have a lot of them yet, but I always want more. Ordered half a dozen just five minutes ago...
So I am a little curious, how many arrows do my fellow trad-gangers own?

I own about 2.5 dozen arrows for regular shooting and about 2 Dozen odds and ends, then 5 dozen shafts when those arrows need replacing.

There ar much worse things to be addicted to.

I have heard it said that one can never have too many arrows. If so, then there can be no such thing as an addiction. Go for it!

I have too many.  I went thru a long time of experimenting and have a ton of arrows that are no longer suitable for me.  I plan to haul them along to shoots this summer and see if I can get a few bucks for them and get them to new homes.  

I think saying I have ten dozen fletched shafts is not a lie at all and I also have numerous dozen bare shafts in waiting AND a carton of probably 300 - 500 3/8" ramin shafts are on the shelf, to be some day made into skwerl arrows.  Its a disease for sure.

I had over a thousand back in November. I've been slowly whittling away at the collection.

I don't ever consider buying them by half a dozen,my minimum is 3 dozen at times with some max of 300 shafts in a single order.

Not a man alive can have too many arrows. I have arrows for treerats, got arrows for deer hunting, got arrows for turkeys, got arrows for 3D, got arrows for smashing on rocks and trees on ironman or hammer courses...oh yeah, that reminds me I need a dozen more! Thanks.

Including bowfishing arrows, odds and ends, etc., I might have 10 dozen.  

String material and serving is a different story.  I've got quite a bit of that, and realized yesterday I'm out of some colors...

I keep buying them half a dozen at a time. Expensive little buggers, so I try to spread the cost a little. Six fletched arrows are setting me back about a hundred bucks... I'm balancing on the edge of my budget.

Less than half of mine. These are mostly woodies. Some aluminum and carbon are mixed in.

I have a bunch.    :)  
Which sounds less than "a lot" and is fewer than "too many"...   ;)
