I carry 6 in the quiver but when I go on a hunt I have at least a dozen in the case. Flew in for a moose hunt once and out of a dozen I only had 2 straight arrows by the time I got to camp, and only one to hunt caribou with after I shot my moose. (I've since upgraded from Doskocil to SKB!) You just never know when you might take a fall in the mountains and bend most of the arrows in your quiver, the more you have, the better chance that at least one of them is going to survive.
