I posted about my wife sometimes losing an arrow when she shoots more than she should. That got me to thinking:

#1 What is the cost on JUST ONE of your hunting arrows? Include shaft, insert, nock(standard or lighted), fletchings, wraps, broadhead, and anything else you have on your arrow.

#2 Are we INSANE? :grin:

I'll post my total tomorrow, but I can't believe how much I have tied up in one arrow.
 
You hit exactly where I was going with this. Your 12 arrows are close to $470 after tax. That would get you a decent rifle, or about 470 rounds of ammo at $20 a box. :grin:
 
$14 for 6 arrows w/broadheads.
The other 6 are field points. That's BPS Carbon Fury arrows knocked and fletched and Wal-Mart broadheads. I don't buy into the big names. I'm sure the expensive stuff works good, but I can kill a deer just as well with what I've got. :grin:

Y'all just got too much money to blow :D

If I miss it's because of me. Not my equipment. I've only killed one deer with my current set-up, but so far I've been able to keep a very good group up to 50yds while practicing. Better than my buddy's high dollar stuff matter of fact. :grin:

But you can use a broadhead and arrow more than once . Try doing that with a round of ammo . :D I check my arrows for damage and replace the blades in the broadheads and I'm good to go .
 
I would say somewhere around 20 bucks per shaft. Like Radar said this stuff is re useable so you have to factor that in. If you take a dozen arrows and use 4 for practice and keep 8 to hunt with. Be smart and don't shoot for nocks or try for any robin hoods. And let's say you take 2 deer a year with archery equipment. let's say one of the two arrows you use to harvest the 2 deer is broken it would take 7 years to use them up till all you had left was the practice arrows.
