where should broadheads be kept while traveling to and from the field
Broadheads should be kept in a secure quiver with a cover or in a dedicated hard-sided broadhead/arrow case while traveling to and from the field.
Safe storage basics
- Broadheads are extremely sharp and are treated in safety courses as cutting tools, not just arrow tips.
- Safety guidance emphasizes that they must be covered and restrained so edges cannot contact people, gear, or vehicle interiors during transport.
Recommended place to keep them
- Formal hunter-education style questions specify that broadheads should be kept “in a quiver with a cover” when carrying a bow or moving to and from the field.
- Many hunters also use hard plastic arrow or broadhead cases that immobilize each head and fully cover the blades, which achieves the same safety goal.
What to avoid
- Loose broadheads in packs, cup holders, pockets, or the bottom of a gear bag are specifically criticized in hunter forums because they can cause accidental cuts when reaching in.
- Soft bags or thin pouches that do not rigidly hold and cover the blades can allow broadheads to cut through fabric or bang together, dulling edges and creating hazards.
Practical tips when traveling
- For vehicle travel, keep arrows with broadheads either in a covered quiver attached to the bow inside a bow case, or in a separate hard broadhead/arrow box placed where it will not roll around.
- For hiking to and from the stand or blind, keep broadheads either on arrows in a covered quiver on the bow or in a compact covered quiver/case in your pack so blades are never exposed.
