Hey gang , how many bolts do u take with u while ur out hunting ?
I just made a little quiver...nice ....light, safe.... but can only hold 2 bolts. That should be enough.....right ? I mean , if I go through two bolts at a deer , shame on me. Only took 3 when I hunted stick bow and compounds.

2's enuff ?

I carry 6 at all times. When deer hunting usually 4 with broadheads and two with blunts.

One. If I miss I don't want to use the other on myself.

Actually I carry three.

I think its wise to carry an old arrow with anold broadhead on it because if you happen to spine a deer you will have to shoot again to quickly kill it and the arrow you use usually ends up broken so its not wise to use a fine tuned hunting arrow.I carry 3 arrows.

When still hunting, I only have the one arrow that is ready for launch. I don't like the noise or the extra size of a quiver and arrow while trying to be stealthy.

When hunting out of a tree I'll have one or two extra arrows. I prefer just the one. I feel I won't need any more than that. If I miss(which I may not know for certain until getting out of my stand and inspecting the spot where the deer had been standing), the deer is unlikely to allow me to stand up, c0ck my bow, take an arrow from the quiver, put it in place, shoulder the bow and finally shoot. I could see spining a deer as the number one reason for carrying an extra arrow.

Although......I guess another possibility/ reason for carrying more than one arrow would be a miss, very early in the morning with plenty of hunting remaining.

I carry three or four for the day. Since I hunt within 1/2 mile of the house, if I come back to the house for lunch I will leave the quiver in the stand and carry one bolt while stalking on the way back to the house.
