I don't buy arrows as such. I order 2 doz. blanks and finish them myself. I suggest 6-12 at a time. Up to you.

Unless you can re-fletch your own arrows ,I would go with 12 !! It only takes a few cut fletchings and a flyer to quickly get you down to 2 shootable arrows with a 1/2 dz.

I am just getting into assembling my own. Will probably start with a couple dozen for me, the same for each of my daughters.

I used to buy them finished by the doz. Torn fletchings, dented arrows and shot off nocks take toll on the #'s.

If I was just getting started I would buy at least a dozen. That should make you through the first year. After that I usually by six new ones every year to hunt with. This works good for me.

Im in the process of trying carbon arrows. I paper shot them at the range and I think I have the ones that will work best for me, so I purchased a doz shafts. After I buid these and try them out, if they are what suits me and preform well I'll buy anothe dozen.
If you alreday have what works best for you I buy a dozen shafts at a time and keep two dozen arrows on hand. Six for the range and 18 in my travel case for hunting.

Work hard and be true to yourself.

I am due to buy some more for next year. I average buying a 1/2 dozen every 3rd year. The only time I mess them up is when they stick in the deer.

I buy them by the dz. I shoot them all and then group them based on how they fly.
