Throw arrow out?
 

I have a collection of used bloody arrows from successful hunts, but never reused them.
I was wondering how many of you reuse their arrow after shooting @ an animal?
Obviously, you must check them out, but my habit is just discard them..

Oh yell ya, I shot my bull elk, a buck and then a doe with the same arrow, just changed the blades.

If the arrows still good, I'll clean'er up and reuse it.

I use them again immediately after clean up/inspection. I have aarrow that has been through two does already.

Not a very good business decision for me to NOT reuse arrows.;)

Rob took the words right out of my mouth.. clean them up and reuse them. I shot a cow elk, buck and bear one fall all with the same arrow.. the bear was the last critter I shot with it and he finally broke it when he reached back with his mouth and bit the fletching off when the arrow was burried in him.. that season sold me on ACC's ...

Of course i re-use em, they're way too expensive not to and thats why carbon's are so great, they either blow up or are fine, they dont bend like aluminum.....

For years I told myself I would switch to carbon arrows as soon as I use up my alum. ones. I almost always get total pass thru shots so I never used them up. when I got a new bow I switched to carbons. One thing to watch for if you reuse is the braodhead. I used to shoot rocky 3 blades and often times the heads would get a real slight bend. Spin testing revealed this.

Use em till they bust or bend. I really like alums but switched to carbon a few years back and to ACC's the last 2 seasons. Doubt I'll change from the ACC's.

i have always kept them as a second trophy i leave them as is and write on them wher what and when then they go to my collection pile and the next year i order a doz more

I only use the arrow once then is gets "retired". I personally feel it is a show of respect to not use it again. but that is just a personal choice.
