You have to make a mental snapshot of where you shot the animal. If it is a pass through, the arrow should be sticking in the ground at that spot or laying on the ground if the animal kicked it over. If you are hunting where there are a lot of rocks, the arrow could skip away. In that case, I like to watch the arrow and not the animal. It usually stops in a second or two and you should still be able to see or hear where your animal is going. It hurts to lose a $21 arrow and they can tell you information about the shot. If the arrow stayed in the animal when it ran off, you will have to follow the blood trail until you find it.

I also use white wraps, bright yellow vanes and white nocks.
