    How many arrows do you typically carry with you in the field? I have a 5-arrow quiver so I guess I plan on bringing 5 arrows with me. What do you guys do?

    Five.

    If I know I won't be to far from my truck I may take a T3 quiver but T5 seems good over all.

    5 4 with broadheads and 1 with small game head. Here in WI it's illegal to carry a field point.

    I'm still on the fence for this season as far as 3 or 5. I don't see any reason to carry more than three. I have to get a new quiver and I'm leaning towards a 3 arrow quiver.

    I have the T5 quiver, however, it only has 3 in it. I don't like shooting small game while hunting deer.

    I always fill my quivers. I have a 5, 7 and two 8 arrow quivers. I'll usually carry 2 blunts for squirrels or yardage checking.

    I need at least five... several times I've killed two turkeys out of the same flock, or a double on does... I still like to have another arrow at the ready afterwards to allow me to continue hunting if there's time left.
