If you CANNOT make your own arrows at home, how many?
If like a few of us are unable or unwilling to make your own arrows at home, how many arrows would you consider a sensible stockpile to last say approximately 3 years.

RE: If you CANNOT make your own arrows at home, how many?
Thats a hard question to answer, it depends on so many different things,...I do hope to make a few myself, although I haven't tried it yet, but I wouldn't be happy unless I could get hold of about 75 - 100,.. based on a kill about every two weeks, and hoping that I dont break any I miss with and can retrieve most of the ones I kill with,.... but wither I could afford that many [ along with everything else] is another matter
If I was an expert, I could probably make do with about 30-50...

I reckon that's a good estimate Highlander. I keep two dozen made up and around fifty bare shafts ready to be made as and when I lose or break them.

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?

as many as you can get, there is no such thing as too many 
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
