RE: broken arrows
stakes to hold up plants, like tomatoes and pepper plants in the garden.
Yardage markers on my home practice range.
perches for bird houses and bird feeders.
Short sections of arrow shaft, put a long sheet-rock screw through the arrow shaft and screw it into the porch post. Now you have a bow hanger, the shaft protects your bow from the steel and threads on the screw.
