RE: Answer for ILBOW about arrows in a quiver
I appreciate the info....I only carry three..
I always have more in my case but I've never needed more than
three...
I usually carry two deer and one misc. in my quiver
I actually use different wraps for the different arrows.
[hr]
Now does anyone carry different grained arrows @ the same time?
or different fletched arrows @ the same time?
Heres my setup...
This first arrow I have knocked. It has a bright half wrap.
It weighs 440 grains total-I use this for my first deer shot
This second arrow is all black w/ darker fletchings. It weighs 490 grains.
I use this for long follow up shots on deer and used while trackingthe deer
The third arrow is identical to the first but, The broadheads(instead of muzzy G5's)have already been used...I get these from my local butcher when he finds them in animals that come in
don't worry I only use the third arrow for coyotes and pheasant!
maybe a turkey If I'm lucky

Usuallyfour for me. Two with lumenoks, all have broadheads. If I use more than four, its time to take up gun hunting.[&o] Or get a new bow, because you know its not my fault..
The mostI have used was two on the same deer.First one hita little high, second put him all the way down. Snapped both arrows right in half, I didn't mind though!

RE: Answer for ILBOW about arrows in a quiver
ILBOW, with my four-arrow quiver, I usually carry three broadheads plus one tipped with a field point. Before climbing down from my stand after morning hunts, I always pick out a leaf and shoot it. It's great practice for treestand users, as most people don't practice shooting from elevated positions enough... (not that one shot a hunt is practice enough -- but when I only get one practice shot I tend to focus more... which is great practice for that one important shot on a deer. )

I actually shoot from a stand in my back yard.
great practcie and very different than from the ground!
I've had my wife kick a soccer ball into the yard, well I haven't been able to hit it moving...yet....It fun to try and judge the distance from a tree.
same concept

RE: Answer for ILBOW about arrows in a quiver
I'm not sure, but I believe carrying anything other than a legal broadhead is illegal in NY ... I could be wrong ... gotta check it out[X(]
