How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
I carry 3 myself, but I think I might carry 4 or 5 this season.

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
Use to carry 6.......now my quiver holds 4, ie who needs 6? and also who needs 4? depends on my hunting style....if i'm gone all day hunting, stalking etc...say for elk, id consider taking 4.....but my usual is3.....for bowhunting whitetails....treestand, morning/afternoon.

Course I don't miss, so 2 could even work...haha, but really I dont plan to shoot at multiple animals in 1 day, but who knows a coyote may come along, I may miss, highly unlikely though....haha, but I also know have seen/heard of guys shooting the same animal with 2 arrows, so I dont put that past me either, so if I miss, I still have 2 backup arrows, or if i get a chance to shoot 1 buck with 2 arrows either way after i shoot somethign im getting out of my stand, going to the truck etc....i can restock.....

My quiver holds three so I carry three. I hunt a few hours in the morning and a few in the evening. If Ineed more than three shots then I need to take a walk back to the truck and kick myself in the a$$ doing it. Besides, since I started trophy hunting for the mythical BOOK buck I haven't taken three shots on 9 years.

Deer, Bear & most all other biggame I have 4. Wild hogs I have a full quiver 6.

I normally carry 6 with me, but right now I think I only have 4 left. Time to buy some more.:D

and also who needs 4?
Me.....2x

My '07 buck in my avatar....I took 4 shots at......hitting him 3x.

I've emptied my quiver 2 times on a deer I successfully took. The last doe I took this year was hit 3x. I shoot until they are either out of range or motionless.

I'll carry a full half dozen this year.

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
My old quiver held four. My new one holds six so thats what I carry. When I carried four I use to say"if I need more-----" but now I'd rather have more and not need them than the other way around.

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
3-4---mostly 3. Figure if I cannot make a good shot after three arrows then I need to leave the woods that day.

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
4 broadheads and 1 small game head is what I usually carry.

ABarOfSoap 04-17-2008 09:33 AM

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
I used to carry 3, but after using all 3 of my arrows last year during one hunt, i now have 4 just incase.

popeandyoungchaser 04-17-2008 09:37 AM

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
Just four for me!! Thought about using a three arrow quiver this year because i have never shot more than twice on one hunt and never at a deer that i missed on the first shot.

RE: How many arrows do you carry to the stand?
 
3, I'd try to get away with one if I wasn't afriad I might drop it out of the tree or something;).
