Default RE: Retire your arrows or call them lucky?

Arrows are just tools for me and hold no sentimental value........I don't get many Robinhoods anymore since I started using nock bushings but even back in the days where I would tube one I would just rip the good arrow out and keep on shooting.
The most deer I have ever shot with the same shaft was one lucky A/C/C 3-49 that made it through 7 deer before the last one rolled over on it.

I have never kept a hunting arrow as a trophy until THIS year. I have the busted arrow and broadheadfrom my recurve buck set aside to work into a display somehow with a picture around the mount. This one does have some special feeling behind it.

I also went back and got the stick that almost blinded me that day too........it's sawed off on my workbench and I'll work that in there too somehow. Maybe a nice little shadowbox. Future generations can look at it and think....."What the hell is that stick doing in there?"
