Default It only takes one arrow.....

Are you confident enough to enter the woods with one arrow?

How would you feel if you only held one arrow as you entered the woods? Would you feel different with 1 arrow rather than a quiver with 4 + arrows?

Maybe its your past experiences that make you think you need more than one arrow? Or maybe you needed more than one arrow because of a circumstance you had or because you made a move that you should not have?

Is it a fact that 1 arrow is all you need?

My only worry would be that I somehow messed up/bent/broke that one arrow getting to the critter. I used to just take 1 arrow on the 3D course all the time.

I'm confident, I have to be confident shooting a recurve otherwise I'm screwed! I'd feel alright going In with one arrow as long as I keep my shots under 20 yards.

I'm as confident as anyone when it comes to releasing an arrow but with that said, things happen and I would always want that second arrow just in case. One quick scenerio is a perfect arrow that a deer dropped and was spined. I followed it up with a quicker kill shot. I wouldn't be happy nor satisfied to see that deer suffer nor get back on his feet. One arrow, no thank you.

I used to think 3 arrows was WAY to many, until last year where i eneded up shooting all 3 of them and had to climb down and find them to continue hunting.
