Three. One is for a good day, two is for a bad day, three is for when I should have never used number one. Have used number 2 twice and number 3 once in sixteen years.

6 - 3 broadheads, 3 field points for shooting at squirrels, armadillos, etc.

Same as Fraley for me, the field point/squirrel arrow only gets shot at the end of my hunting session when I've not seen anything. When I do make contact (Witha squirrel)...makes for a good lunch before I go back out.

3.

Last year I shot that buck in my picture there with my third arrow. Missed 2 does within 5 minutes and he came 5 min later down the same trail. Shot him at 4 yards away with my last arrow. How lucky can that be?

2 and sometimes If I'm going to be sitting for longer I'll put a 3rd in there.

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
3 I have never used more than 2 and that was on a spine shot.

Oh, and once I flat missed a doe and she just stood there, I nocked another arrow and shot her.

I always take four broad headtipped arrows with me. ;)

6 - 5 for deer - 1 For what ever. Quiver holds 8

Simp 12-06-2007 08:46 AM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
I have a hip quiver that holds 8 arrows. 2 of which have practice heads on them.

Western MA Hunter 12-06-2007 08:55 AM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
usually I have 3 arrows w/ good bh's on and 1 older arrow w/ a used bh for squirrels or finishing shot if required.


burniegoeasily 12-06-2007 08:59 AM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
I take three with my compound. My recurves, I have one in the bow and another in my hand. Only take two.

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
3 - You can only kill two a day in Ohio, so actually the third arrow is overkill. Make one shot count! If I need more than 3, I really need to be shooting at a target instead of sitting in a tree.

GMMAT 12-06-2007 09:35 AM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
My quiver holds 4. I have shot ONE deer with two arrows, once. ONE deer with 3 arrows, once. And I shot at my 11/6/07 buck with all 4....hitting him 3 times.

I shoot until they are out of range or dead.

BigJ71 12-06-2007 10:06 AM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
Between 3-6

It differs for me depending on thebow.This year I'm shooting aMathews and it has a 5 arrow quiver, so that's how many I take with me.:)

virginiashadow 12-06-2007 10:54 AM

3 most of the time, sometimes 4, never more than that.

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
I take as many as my quiver will hold, which is five. If my quiver could hold a dozen I would take a dozen. I like to shoot at squirrels, but I have missed many times in a row at the same deer.

3 or 4

archer58 12-06-2007 01:32 PM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
4, but I usually only need 1. MAYBE 2.
A full qiuver looks cool w/ the wraps and fletching.

davidmil 12-06-2007 01:40 PM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
I said 4 because that's what I carry. If I go away from home or out of state for a few days I take at least a dozen but usually 18 with me.

Used to have a 6 arrow quiver. 6 was overkill.

Now I have a 4 arrow quiver. Still more than I need, but that's okay.

Michbowhunter 12-06-2007 03:27 PM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
Quiver holds 7, but I usually only take 3 with broadheads.

jim1966 12-06-2007 03:35 PM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
I started outcarrying 6 one broke in half in a deer. Another the blades broke off in a deer. So now I use 4. when something happens to them then I'll buy some different arrows and I'm thinking of try rage broadheads.

MeanV2 12-06-2007 03:46 PM

RE: How many arrows do you take hunting?
 
A funny story. I had a guy come in to the shop one time and he told me he was looking for a new quiver, and I showed him 2 or 3 I had in stock. He looked at them a while and then said Nah!! I don't think I need one I've only got 2 arrows I think I'll just keep carrying them in[8D]

Needless to say he wasn't a big spending customer. I think a dozen arrows lasted him about 15 years, well I did have to refletch a few as the vanes just kind of dry rotted;)
