How many arrows do you carry in your quiver Elk hunting ? And whats the most arrows you've shot at a elk?

 

[rambo2345]

I carry 4. I have shot two at one elk, all others only one.

Carry four or five depending on how far I'm going. Typically only need one, but have used as many as three.

 

[Bluto]

Always full, which is 5. Same as the magazine in my sidearm if I’m in bear country, which is 15.

Quiver holds six. That's what I carry, regardless of species.

 

[butcherboy]

6 with my longbow. 4 with my compound. Just because that’s what each one carries. Only ever used 1 arrow for every single elk I’ve killed.

6 if using the hip quiver, 5 when using the TightSpot. Two in the elk with third ready in the bow, bad day.

5, though have used two at the most in a single day

3. I used to carry 6 but as I got older I've cut down on weight.

I carry six in the quiver. Five broadheads and a dedicated grouse arrow with different color fletching. Haven’t needed more than one for an elk but there is always that first time.

7,TightSpot. 5 reg BH, 1 grouse, 1 with throwdown BH for varmints. Most used on one elk was 2. But if I happened to need more on follow up, I will have them. My motto is "NO excuses".

 

[kentuckybowman]

4, three broadheads and one field point.

5, but keep extra arrows at camp of on hunt more than a couple days

My first elk I shot three arrows! I shot the tree on the left then the tree on the right and finally one down the middle. I learned squatting on my haunches for several minutes then shooting while wobbling all over was not good shooting foam. Final shot was from my knees.

I carry 4 broadheads with two grouse/stump arrows for daily practice is my most common setup. I also carry additional broadheads in my pack to convert grouse/stump arrows to broadheads if needed.

 

[KsRancher]

I always carry 4 arrows. I have never shot one at an elk yet

I like to stump shoot and kill grouse for dinner on these hunts so I take at least 5 or 6 arrows. It keeps me sharp. ( and thats why I don’t use a very expensive arrow ‘build’ grin)

One bull decades ago I shot 3 arrows to kill him….I was getting poor penetration with the Mech head and shot location I used at the time.
