Why a dozen?

<< < (2/4) > >>

sailordad:
i make them one  at a time
i may make 3-4 for  a particular bow
but most of what i make are for the wall,so one at a time for me

ricktrojanowski:
I usually lose or break 6 or 7 before I get to hunt with them. ;D

Tsalagi:
 I don't have any quivers that hold less than a dozen arrows. It's a tradition, the same reason that ammunition for rifles comes in boxes of 20 and shotguns boxes of 25. Even after the army came out with 30 round mags for the M-16, still, they were getting ammo in boxes of 20.

aznboi3644:
I've only made about a dozen...but I've broken 7 or 8 just from use...usually hitting a hard object and the arrow exploded along the grain runout.

Pat B:
Like sailorsdad I usually make each arrow by itself. I will straighten a few at a time and over a few days but when it comes to turning a shaft into an arrow, I do each separately.
