i try to retire them but it always seems that I will end up running short on arrows so most of the time they end up getting used anyways.

Next season? I've killed two deer with the same arrow this year. It's in my quiver and I will kill one or two more before the season ends with that same arrow. If it's straight and the broadhead has no nicks, why waste a new arrow and broadhead?

Killed 9 deer with the same arrow still using it. Just change out the broadhead with new one and keep hunting.

Heck, I have 3 arrows in my hunting quiver. #1 has been through so many animals (and missed a couple) I have lost count. Maybe 8 or so. Mostly deer and a couple coyotes. Arrows in the #2 and#3 spots are still brand new, never fired at game.
