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.
