I just took my third deer this year last saturday am, nice doe. It was with my arrow that has now been named "Ace". It has now offically taken 5 deer with not so much as needing to be trimmed off on the insert end. I have refletched it a few times, replaced the Luminock a time or 2.
I am thinking about retiring it before it breaks or gets lost and give it a place in my trophy wall. Watcha think? It is a BlackHawk Vapor 4000 with 2-1/2" Bi-Delta vanes and 100grn GrimReaper Expandable.

I would keep using it since it seems to bring you good luck. I use the same Blackhawk Vapors and have taken 4 good bucks, 1 buck grossed around 170 and 1 buck about 130 with them, not the same arrow evertime though. None of I think only 1 of them has broken on a deer.
I notch my arrow wraps each time I take an animal (Deer, bear or hog) with it and it kinda makes me smile when I see the "Fallen" marks on them when I am in stand. I make the mark between the fletching and nock. I use the camo and they are slightly heavier than the regular arrow. I think if I keep going with "Ace", it is going to look like a totem pole with all of these notches in it!!!!
