I've seen Ted Nugent pick up many half arrows the thing is I watch alot of them so it's hard to remember which ones for sure ,but they usually don't show it right to the camera and make issue of it its usually when their doing their track job they pick up half an arrow either the braodhead half or the fletched half, and then go staight to the animal.And Im not saying the break with the force of the shot but when the animal runs off with 3/4 of an arrow sticking out its rib cage it probably snaps on some brush or trees,or maybe hits a hard rock on the other side from a pass through, or even bone. Maybe I watch too much TV
