I carry 4 because that's all my quiver holds. They are all tipped with wacem 3 blades or magnus stingers. I am only out there for deer or coyotes so all my arrows are the same. I have heard of stories where people carried field tips and judo points and accedentily shot the wrong tip at large game when the buck fever set in. I know all mine are the same and I don't have to worry about that.
