RE: How many of us actually do???
Inspect em? for what? a new arrow? manufacturing error I'm checking for?
or are you suggesting if you miss the target and hit wood or some other tough wall etc...?
If I ever missed the target I'd inspect my arrow, I think maybe twice I missed and my arrow once went through the fence....the other time 2 sheets of 3/8 ply, after those incidents sure i inspected them.
but are you suggesting just after shooting into your target after awhile?
I rub my arrows, usually to get foam/target debri off of them, if I were to feel something id take a further /closer look, and I mean i glance at my arrows all the time when shooting/removing from the target, I notice details though so if something were wrong I think I'd notice it, but cmon dont miss the target guys, \
I laughed when my bowshop guy said you need a dozen arrows, and I said why? whats wrong with half dozen? he's like ever lose an arrow? I replied, NO.
I guess most guys lose lots of arrows?
After I shoot a few deer, I'll get another 6.....then I'll have like 10, I dunno.
If I can't hit the block im shooting at, I'm not going to be shooting further and miss it.
If you can't hit the block at 30 or 40yds dont move it back to 60 and fling one out there.
This fall I was at the range, and guys, with quality hunting arrows/bows were shooting arrows that hit the ground etc......and the targets are 4feet wide!
