how much do you spend
how much do you spend on arrows every year? i just got CarbonExpress Terminator= 90, quickspin STspeedhunters white=20 and 38 for cutting and fletching them. this is my first time buying arrows by the dozen and then getting them fletched. so what do you spend on arrows every year

RE: how much do you spend
I usually don't buy arrows every year but when I do I go with carbon express cx300'sand usually buy a half dozen shafts and some blazer vanes and do them myself. I believe this year I spent about 80 bucks but I had to re-stock on the blazers so I have quite a few left over. You could forgo the cost of fletching and just buy a fletcher and do it yourself. It's a fun time killer and saves a few bucks in the long run.

RE: how much do you spend
For me......just getting into archery (kinda)......I spent probably <$100 the first year. I spent +/- $130 the second.......and Already $100, this year.
Thing is.....I've only broken3 arrows that weren't broken in animals......and I've lost 1 arrow. I have arrows set up for turkeys....and I have arrows set up for target shooting....and now I have switched to a/c/c's to hunt with. I know I'll likely break/bend some of my hunting arrows in animals.But I'd be happy if I could go through the '07 Whitetail seasononlysacrificing 6arrows or so.
If I spend $100 a year on arrows.....that'll be just fine.

So far this year I have brought 6 dozen Gold Tip ultra light pro 400's and thats only for my target rig I get the best 2 dozen for tournements and the others are practice arrows.
Will most likely get another 3 or 4 dozen Easton AC Super Slims a little closer to hunting season

Are you kidding me? You think I'm actually gonna incriminate myself by putting that into print?!? [8D]
Let's just say that every year I think I'm about done, and every year I seem to keep needing SEVERAL hundred dollars' worth of new stuff... [:-]
