I like to use Usage Dice for this. Instead of tracking your arrows individually, you start with, say, a d12. At the end of a fight you roll it, on a 1 or a 2 the die downgrades a step to a d10, then a d8 etc. After d4 youre empty.
I wanna say I got this from the Black Hack?
Fwiw I run an old-school style game. 5e is more about power fantasy

I like it! It neatly models the variability of arrows being recoverable and unbroken.
For sure! It simulates the sort of quantum uncertainty you want without bogging you down. It’s a handy mechanic for all kinds of things.
Yah, a few games do this, mostly in the OSR space. Macchiato Monsters and Stay Frosty are the ones that spring to mind.
Although there’s not much point in doing it unless you’re tracking travel etc.
