Default 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.

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.....
