Quickee quiver
 
I currently have a 5 arrow quickee quiver on my Mathews featherlight bow which I plan on using in the upcoming Montana Elk archery season. I am considering a 3 arrow quiver to cut down on the weight. I can conceivably store additional arrows at the horse if I need them. Is this a wise idea or will I need 5 arrows?
Thanks, Paul

Paul,
All depends on how well you shoot and how close you can get. Many an archer have missed their first shot and gotten a second but it is a chance game. Between the three arrow and five arrow you really aren' t cutting that much weight so weigh that option too. Good luck to you!!!

Shoot Straight!!!

Well you are suppose to need only one shot. If you are a patient person and wait for the right shot then you should never need more than three arrows. I would however take up quite a few with me cause you never know, you might fall and break some, got to shoot at some grouse for a good dinner. My suggestion would be the five arrow quiver with three broadheads and two field tips for the occasional grouse or rabbit.

I agree with cwilks15. You aren' t cutting enough weight to make a difference. It' s really a personal preference though. I' ve hunt with my bow for 4 years now and rarely need more than two arrows in the field. I have yet to get a second shot at a deer but I have however had multiple opportunities on different animals

Personally i would go with the 5 arrows. No telling what may happen, and leaving 2 arrows behind isnt going to save you that much weight.
