    Post Bow Hunting The Roar

    Hi All,

    This Roar will be my first hunting with a Bow. Spending 9 days in the bush with my brother start of April & absolutely looking forward to it!, sure we are chasing stags but a meat animal also wouldn't be passed up.
    My Question is how many arrows should I take?? I don't use lighted nocks so I'm guessing I should prepare to loose a few in the native undergrowth.

    cheers in advance for your input.

    Jess

    Fill your quiver. You probably won’t get a lot of chances so a quiver full should be good, assuming your quiver is 5+ arrows.

    I would take a full quiver and probably another 5 just in case. If you shoot a stick bow then 11. Anything can happen in 9 days. You might only need one or none but could get lucky and get within bow range 3-4 times.
    Nothing is tough about having a 70 lb bow and looking like an uncoordinated praying mantis while trying to draw it back.

    Definitely take extras if possible. A quiver can get emptied very quickly sometimes haha.

    I always carry a quiver of 6. If I m driving to a remote place to stay for a few days I usually have a second quiver with at least four hunting arrows and 2 practice arrows
