I have shot two deer with the same arrow because it ended up back in the quiver after the first one and I never got around to cleaning it. The next year it still shot fine so I used it as my hunting arrow the next year and got another deer with it. That arrow is in my quiver and since it still fly's true I'm planning to take number three with the same arrow. For the record, I do have head mounts and have never kept the arrow with the shoulder mount.
