 :chuckle: you guys are funny. No we are not packing 18-24 arrows with us in the field. Just a quiver full. Most guys will have 3-7 arrows with them at any given time. If you are only hunting 1 animal then sure you don't need a ton of arrows on your hunt. I have many times put 2-3 arrows into one animal. I don't care if it's a perfect shot or not. If I can stick another arrow into a already hit animal I will do it. SO more is always better for me. Most of the time I have 4 broadhead arrows and 1 judo arrow.

Carp you said it best! After sticking once and if ur still able to get another in em do it!
My dad learned this lesson a few years ago after shooting a nice muley in the late season. Shot it it went about 10 yards stood there for a minute or soo and  fell down the hill to a rest on the other side of a log with its legs pointing to the sky only to have my dad watch it for a few minutes and the damn thing all the suddon came alive again and the chase was on. Ended up getting him but still could have made it alot easier to get another in him while he could have.
The next year my dad shot a cow elk off the same stand and she went about 15 yards and layed down, still with a clear shot and still breathing he put 2 more threw the pump station. Needless to say she didnt get up.  Extra arrows is security, now a 12 arrow quiver is REDONKULOUS!

i like to have at least a dozen, since most quivers hold 4-6. i was hunting one year and my dad had his quiver some how fall off while walking through brush and lost 6 arrows. we found the quiver later luckily. but i have 18 right now and use the same 6 to practice with then i dial in with a fresh six with broad heads.
they call me the bloodhound cause i can track a wounded animal in the rain for 2 days when all it has is a splinter.. sniff sniff awooo

Me too. I can't bring myself to throw away perfectly good shafts even though they're sized for other bows.

I have 1 dozen for hunting, 6 of those are used for practicing with broadheads shooting at dots. The other 6 got shot one time to make sure they hit their marks, then back into the case.
The broadhead practice arrows will be backups throughout the season if needed.

Then I have/had 1 dozen for shooting groups. 20-40 yard groups eat arrows  :chuckle:
Then there's about 5 half dozens that I bought and tested with different weight tips until I found what my bow liked.

I carry 1 less than my quiver will hold, and fill the empty spot with a "throw away arrow" for grouse.

In my quiver I carry 5. 4 broadheads and 1 set up for grouse. I have extra broadheads and  half dozen or so arrows in camp. You have plenty. Sure I have 100+ at home but thats between indoor target bow, hunting/3d bow. Really dont need anything more than a full quiver and a few back ups in camp.

I go out with a full quiver and one atatched to the front of the jeep just in case.  :chuckle: But I have the others with me if I need them. I need all the help I can get.  :chuckle:
