Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
Would you use an arrow on a different animal or should you use the same arrow on a different animal?


It goes without saying that the arrow is fine, so is the broadhead!!!!!!

My uncle shot 3 deer last year with the same arrow.

Same arrow,(if it checks out ok)different broad head. If I get a kill with that broad head it becomes a practice head after that.

Ya probably. I would definitely shoot it again a few times to make sure it is shooting accurately before making the decision though.

I've taken 3 deer with the same arrow / bh before. I use magnus heads, just wash em off, resharpen, spin test, take a practice shot, and away I go!

I would after looking at it to make sure it has no defects in the shaft.
Would not want the archers paradox to happen and get carbon fiber in my hand or arm.

Do you shoot a different foam target with the same arrow? Of course you do.

So why waste a perfectly good arrow and /or broadhead just because it was shot through a deer instead of into a foam block?

Ive got an arrow that has been through several hog, several deer and a turkey. Every arrow in my quiver, right now, has been in at least one animal. And most have been through several. That is one of the reasons I like carbon arrows.

Many times Ive used the same Identical set up over again. A quick spin test will tell you what you need to know.

Why wouldn't you use the same arrow more than once?

I onced killed 7 deer and one bear with the same arrow.

RE: Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
same arrow, and same broadhea, but new blades and resharpen the tip. that is if everything looks good, and i usually take a few shots to make sure everything's flying right with the blades on before i repace them.

RE: Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
As long as it checks out ok, I reuse it.

I shot my pronghorn buck and whitetail doe this year with same arrow, same BH. Just washed it off, sharpened two of the blades and replaced a bent one, and put it back in the quiver....did the same after the doe, and it is the arrow I reach for each time I get on stand...Ill use it till the arrow breaks or BH chips or bends...I may replace the striker on there with a rage 2 blade (already have 6), just to test out a mechanical this year.

RE: Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
I TOO HAVE USED THE SAME ARROW AND BH, I WAS JUST WANDERING IF THE MAJORITY WAS IN THE SAME WAY OR NOT!!!!!

THANKS

No brainer.......If Obama gets elected I will have to use the same arrow ten times over.

RE: Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
I re use them all the time. I've killed as many as four deer with the same arrow. Simply cleaned it up, checked alignment and changed blades in te Muzzy.

I have a Gold Tip XT arrow that has been through 13 diffrent animals including 1Elk,4Deer,6Hogs,1coyote,1Texas dall Ram so heck yes ill use the same arrow twice, and its still my number one arrow. P.S. 3hogs on the same broadhead got a pass through on all 3 in the same morning.

My Dad has the record in my family.
He shot four bucks with the same arrow.
It finally got broken on the last one.

Carbon shafts are so durable that it's no problem to continue to use them over and over. Of course, I agree with what others have said, you should always check the shaft to ensure it's still flying true, and I would always use a different broadhead.

I shoot Carbon Express shafts, and have shot through several deer with one arrow, which is still in my quiver. This is one of the main reasons that I made the switch to carbon; aluminum shafts would nearly always bend on pass-throughs.

I'll reuse an arrow. Not likely to reuse a broadhead.

badassbowtech 10-21-2008 07:00 AM

RE: Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
Heck yeah. The arrow I shot my doe with this year is back in my quiver right now. Hopefully it's going to arrow another deer.

HuntingBry 10-21-2008 07:14 AM

RE: Would you use an arrow more than once on a different animal?
 
Reuse everything I can. After a thorough check of the arrow and resharpening the broadhead I figure it's got some luck to it and want to keep it going.

Got the arrow I used on last years buck nocked up. New broadhead.
