Default Can this arrow be saved?

Almost Robin Hooded this one while broadhead tuning 'bout a month ago. Wondering if it's worth having someone with an arrow saw trim approx. 1/2" to 3/4" off nock end. From what i can tell the split is about 1/2" long, can't tell have far beyond that it goes. I'll also be wrapping it and re-fletching with Blazers. My draw is 28", the arrow is 29" (got it on sale @ Wal-Mart), I shoot thru a WB and I estimate there is about 1" from the WB to the end of the shaft. Any and all help welcomed. I just to cheap to throw it away if it can be salvaged.

It's not worth the risk! Toss it!

You can buy a whole bunch of arrows for what one trip to the emergency room would cost. Don't take the risk. It's a tomato stake now.

Thanks, that what I thought, it's better to ask a dumb question than to assume a dumb answer.

I say toss it also. You can't see the damage that may be further up on the inside of the shaft. Better to be safe than sorry.

I might try to save it for stump and rodent shooting but I sure would not toss it at a deer. For the price of an arrow it would just not be worth it. I figure I am paying $3.00 for premium 12 guage slugs so arrows end up being pretty cheap based on the number of times you can shoot them.

That's a good way to look at it. I certainly don't complain about the slugs I've gone thru. Good perspective.

How do you know the crack doesn't go farther up on the inside of the arrow?

Toss it and chalk it up to a learning experience. Don't shoot BH's at the same spot.
