        Generally, how many arrows do you break, lose, or otherwise render useless in a years time?

          In the area of about two dozen. Archery for me is not a cheap hobby.

            I lost one this year, when another guy was shooting my bow last month. But this year, I myself just have not lost, bent or broken any. I have shaved fletching off though 😛

                  I might lose 6-8 per year. I gets harder to find them once the leaves start falling.

                    I don’t keep track. When I get low or run out, I go buy more, IF my accountant lets me. LOL!! If I shoot a few times a week, probably 1 or 2 every 3rd or 4th trip to the range or target course/3d shoot. Oh, and then probably between 3 and 6 during archery season. The squirrels have a pretty good collection of my judo arrows…LOL!

                      Yeah, I’m debating taking the fifth! But more often than not, I tend break or lose usually one or two per 3D Shoot. 😆

                        So far I have robin hooded two in the past two weeks.. I guess Im gonna have to start shooting fewer per round! I usually damage three per year.

                          Usually about 7, they get broken or lost at our club’s 3-D range. Maybe a few more when I go stump shooting.:wink:

                                How many lost can be highly variable!!! Depending on where we shoot!:)

                                  I broke or lost 7 carbons last year via Robin Hood or cracking the ends. I lost 3 aluminums rabbit hunting. I broke two aluminums deer hunting. I broke 7 more aluminums during league/shoots in January-February.

                                  So give or take:

                                  Carbons: 7
                                  Aluminums: 15

                                  I lost 22 total in my first year of archery.

                                  Switching to woods now except for indoor league. Hopefully I’ll shoot better.

                                    Remember if you are not breaking or losing arrows you are not shooting your bow. This is the reason they sell them by the dozen!

                                      Well, then I’m DEFINITELY shooting my bow! 😆

                                        about half a dozen are lost or broken in a calendar year.
