Arrow Recovery
 
I missed a rabbit today and my arrow went into the the thickits. How do I go about finding an arrow.

Search, Search, and Search a little more. If you can find the point where the arrow impaced the ground it probably won't be much further beyond that.

if it hit sticks, saplings, branches etc dont worry about it...it probably blew up into 100 pieces. dont ask me how i know:)

if its just high grass or something, just gotta search. should been ground directly behind your target and arrow should have stuck into it...

i burried 1 in my yard once...just under the grass...i found it a year later...dont ask me how lol. it was just woven under the grass...

good luck...arrows get expensive...try taking shots so when you shoot at the rabbit or whatever, if you DO miss your arrow shouldnt go far...like above the rabbit slightly, closer shots, hillside behind the rabbit etc...also use bright fletchings and maybe a wrap...maybe even a reflective wrap...good luck

First off I wouldn't be shooting Muzzy tipped arrows at rabbits without Grasshoppers on them. Consider that arrow gone unless you simply go back and search and search and search some more. Is it aluminum, regardless, take a metal detector or just get over it, it's gone.
