3 brand new shafts and 3 brand new broadheads exactly the same as the ones I practice with but never fired.

I would practice with those shafts. New broadheads are nice, but shafts can have diff. weights and be out of straightness a little. I take my best flying shafts and put new broadheads on them, practice shots with some older broadheads (same broadheads).

I take 3 broadheaded aros, I don't know why so many, and like to take 2 for squirrels or stumps, but don't always.

4 broadheads, 1 field point

Hunting is a right, treat it like a priviledge - respect nature

I take three. One is a mechanical that I use for turkeys (in the rare instance that one offers me a shot.)

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.

Years ago I always carried 6, and once I used all 6 to get a six pointer, the last one finished him off.(long story)

Now, I carry 4 and only ever use just one.

Good Luck!

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

I carry 3. ONe that I usually
drop out of the tree when hauling
up my bow or nocking an arrow right
at dawn, ONe to shoot at a deer, and
one to shoot at the same deer ifhe is kind enough to stand there after
I miss him with my first arrow./

Oh heck - at least a dozen or so.

I like to have stuck at least 10 deer before I get out of the tree <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle> That way I figure I'll find at least 1 of them...<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

But seriously -

Quiver will hold 5 - I bring 3. I like the judo point idea though. Like to stick a few of those tree rats. They are always angry about something.

Kind of figure that if I miss on 3, I'd better quit for the day.

&quot;It's not the kill, it's the adventure and challenge! <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>&quot;
