Usually 4-6. I always take 3 of the same broadhead. Sometimes I take 3 fixed blade along with a couple of mechanicals, all of which i know will hit in the same place. Also usually carry a couple of practice or junk arrows/heads to shoot at those pesky raccoons that love to eat my corn. The reason I carry mechanicals with me is for situations like a couple of weeks ago. It was drizzling rain pretty heavily so I wanted the biggest blood trail I cuold have. It worked, after shooting a doe with a NAP Spitfire, a blind man could have followed that trail even in the rain.
