I do not keep track of what I buy, it is easier. This year so far has been light. But the season has not arrived yet. Soon I will find that I have lost something and I will have to go buy newone. Then it will begin to add up. I try to only buy what I need. But it still ends up being a good amount.

I've bought 2 new bows, 2 dozen arrows, 2 new quivers, a new rest, replacement fiber optics, a bunch of fletching gear, and a set of waterproof bibs.

I pretty much needed a new bow, my old one kept breaking(repeated limb issues). the arrows & quivers went along with my trad bow, which I kind of needed to upgrade tooif I wanted to use itfor elk.The rest was a luxury buy. THe FO's were needed, the original ones on my sight were horrible. The bibs I guess were a want, I was tired of getting wet where my coat meets my pants.
