If you CANNOT make your own arrows at home, how many?

This may well be a stupid question, but other than storage space, I can't see why you wouldn't have the 50 shafts made up asap. Can you explain please?

Exactly I keep my made up shafts in an Arrow case, I don't have any more cases to put all of my arrows in if I made them all up. I don't like storing arrows without a case as I don't like the fletchings touching each other when they are in bunches for long term storage. So i only make enough to fill my arrow case. Two dozen has always been enough for me, but during the apocalypse I will make more

Okay, that makes sense.

Many archery clubs store practice arrows, point down, in sawn off sections of gutter tubing. It allows them to move around and not damage the fletchings, but also allows for easy arrow length selection. Larger clubs can just designate tubes for certain arrow lengths anyway.
