I too would want at least four. Arrows don't weigh much, and I would sure hate to run dry if something unusual happened. A couple of years ago, a guy I know had a coyote stop right under his stand. He shot it. Had to shoot it again to kill it. That left him two arrows left. An hour later a buck came by. He shot and missed (apparent range estimation error). The deer ran a short distance and stopped. He got it on his last arrow. Had to track it with one of the dulled arrows nocked that he had used earlier on the coyote.
