Title: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: Smossy on May 28, 2013, 05:21:54 PM: I'm looking into maybe purchasing a new quiver, Thinking I want a 2 piece.
What do you guys hunt with one or two piece, and how many arrows?
I've seen a-lot of 4 arrow quivers and a-lot of 6.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: Button Nubbs on May 28, 2013, 05:28:58 PM: 1 piece, 5 arrow. If I need more than that its time to go back to the drawing board.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: JBar on May 28, 2013, 05:29:47 PM: One piece for easy removal if needed and usually a 3 arrow but on long outings I'll throw on the 5 and carry 4 BH and one Judo.

Not sure that I want a one piece, Had one previously and always ran into problems with vibration.
Plus Im not sure I really want to be removing my quiver.

Post by: whack em on May 28, 2013, 05:50:40 PM: Just my :twocents: but i prefer a 1 piece quiver so that I can remove it while I'm on stand. Though I shoot fine with it on the bow, I shoot better and can hold at draw longer with it off. I hunted with a 4 arrow one for a while before I bought my current Fuse quiver which holds 5 nice and tight to the riser.

Two piece will support the arrows better to prevent arrow vibration but the quiver itself you can end up with vibration in both. Just check mounting bolts and any screws on the quiver too make sure they're tight. Can even use a locktite type product on the screws to help prevent loosening. I use the G5 stuff.

Post by: brianb231 on May 28, 2013, 07:42:36 PM: You know.... I have been trying different equipment for bowhunting for the past 25 years. The quiver is the one item I have kind of ignored or not concerned myself as much with. I finally broke down and bought a "Tight Spot" quiver. I do not know why I waited so long. It is expensive but well worth it. vibration free and fits tighter against my riser that most two pc quivers. Very easy and quick to remove.

Check one out. you wont regret it.

I have been looking at these for a while and trying to justify the cost.
Title: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: jackelope on May 28, 2013, 08:16:37 PM: 2 piece Fuse and 6 arrows, although I always wonder why so many. I guess I'd rather have them and not need them. 5 BH's and a Judo.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: Alan K on May 28, 2013, 08:16:58 PM: 7 arrows. Never had to put a second in an animal, but better safe than sorry as far as I'm concerned. . . Wonder how many rifle hunters just bring 1 bullet because that's all they should need? Also, never know if you get turned around and have to stay the night, need to use 'em as protection etc.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: Smossy on May 28, 2013, 08:25:45 PM: Good observation everyone. Wonder if Tightspot carries a one piece in realtree camo? Im thinking I want atleast 5 arrows. Never heard of carrying both broadhead and a single judo for small game but I think thats a fantastic idea.

I took a grouse out last year while bear hunting thanks to having the judo head.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: owmygulay on May 28, 2013, 08:30:32 PM: They make them in almost every camo. Like others have said. They are expensive but are the best. I love mine. Tight to the riser and are super light.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: Johnb317 on May 28, 2013, 08:48:28 PM: 2 piece fuse. Little concerned how it will work in a soft case on horse though..
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: hughjorgan on May 28, 2013, 09:00:21 PM: Like others have said 5 arrows in a tight spot quiver; one arrow is tipped with a blunt for opportunities at grouse.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: jechicdr on May 28, 2013, 09:54:04 PM: 7 for me, usually 5 BH and 2 Judo. Have had to follow up the first Judo with the second or take a second shot at a grouse. I'd rather have extras and not need them.
Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: GoPlayOutside on May 28, 2013, 10:00:51 PM: 1 piece. 6 arrows (5 broadheads, 1 judo or practice/field tip)

Title: Re: How many arrows do you carry on a hunt?
Post by: Crunchy on May 31, 2013, 09:42:03 AM: Carry a full quiver. I made the mistake of carrying three in my quiver because I had always killed my elk with one arrow. Well last day of a six day hunt I shot three arrows at the same elk. Missed all three :chuckle: Truth be told I was in a bit of a panic as the elk and I had almost walked into each other. First shot over its back. Elk moves 10 or so yards. Second shot kills the tree next to it. Third shot clips a three limb. All three shots were inside of 40 yards. Then the elk steps out and gives me a perfect shot and I am out of arrows. I felt like a complete rookie even though I had already killed 5 elk with my bow.

Post by: MIKEXRAY on May 31, 2013, 11:13:00 AM: I carry four, If I shoot four arrows it is time to go back to the truck and take a break anyway. I watched a Ted Nugent hunting show and he had like 10 arrows , was a crazy full quiver. Mike
