How many arrows

A quick question. How many arrows would one take for 10 days hunting 7 animals.

Good question.

I’m taking a bow with me in July, but only plan on spending a couple of days now hunting. The rest will be with a rifle. For potentially 2 days and a max of 4 animals I’m taking 6 arrows / 6 broad heads.

Truth be told I’ll likely only take 1 or 2 animals with the bow while I am there… but I want to be prepared for a best case scenario…

I usually bring along 12-18.

For the potential to take 7 animals, we would recommend that our hunters bring at least a dozen arrows. Possibly even a few more than that if you plan on taking advantage of shooting some incidental critters one may encounter like guineas, jackals, baboons, etc., as opportunity permits. I would also bring plenty of spare broadhead blades or a sharpener to ensure that your last arrow is as lethal as the first. Best of luck to you sir!

For a 10-day hunt, I usually take 15-18, although I've never come close to using them all. Incidental animals & birds, follow-up shots on wounded animals, etc. can all take more arrows than expected. Although, the number of broadheads is probably more crucial than arrows since you can often re-use arrows (if carbon) even after taking an animal with them. Broadheads are more hit or miss on the reusability, and if you're shooting expendables they are obviously one-and-done. Make sure to wash them thoroughly when returning home. The inspectors when returning to the U.S. aren't fond of finding blood on any of your equipment.
