I carry three. When I get set up in my stand I shoot one at what I think is twenty yards(that is my practice distance) When I hit what I'm aiming at I know my sights are still in and didn't get bumped.

That leaves me 2 arrows. One for the shot, and one for a follow up if necessary.

FOOLPROOF?
Never underestimate the power of a fool!

What if the "Hokey Pokey" really is what it's all about?
