Reuse arrows?
Is it safe to reuse an arrow after you have shot a deer? I was just wondering. Shot a buck yesterday, had a pass through and the arrow looks good. Just afraid of shooting it and it busting and going through my hand.

started with a dozen arrows a few years ago, same broadheads too...down to my last 3..give em a bend and listen fer popping(carbon)..or cracking, look for frays, maybe a split...aluminum ..roll em on a flat surface and look fer wobble...i know a guy shoots wobly arrows just fine, so far...but not fer me.

Just check it over, if you're shooting carbons look it up and down and flex it good with your hands in a quiet room. Listen or feel for creaks, pops, anything but smooth flex...if it passes that you'll be A-OK to shoot it!

When I shot aluminum...I believe I shot 8 or 9 with the same arrow/broadhead combo...LOL That said, I used to shoot Bear Razorheads, and you couldn't hurt those with a hammer. Just run a file over them until sharp and shoot again. LOL
With carbons, if you get a clean pass through they are fine almost every time.
