I usually wipe them off with a damp cloth and refletch my feathers. I'll have to try and steam them next time though.

Rack,I wanna see that.

Quote I just lick em clean then put em back in my Quiver.[:-]

Ditto, JeffB. Only problem it's my #1 arrow (even though sometimes it has a number 2 on it

Bigpapascout

Yep me too, its resting place is on the deers rack after it gets back from the taxidermist.

I'm with JeffB . . . I retire the arrow and broadhead although it wouldn't be necessary.

I rinse of the arrow and clean the broadhead real well. Then re-sharpen the blades, fling it at a target once to make sure everything is still in place, then put it back in the quiver. I killed 3 deer last year with same arrow, unfortunatly the 3rd deer broke the arrow or I would still be shooting that sucker.

Here's what I do:

1.) Thoroughly wash entire assembly with soapy water--very carefully since broadhead is still attached. Carefully check CLEANED arrow for cracks (I use carbons).

2.) Spin test to check straightness.

3.) Shoot 2-4 shots at BH target from varying ranges to verify accuracy.

4.) Remove BH, clean thoroughly, replace blades and reassemble.

5.) Spin test again to confirm BH alignment.

6.) Retire arrow . . . lol. Replace in quiver

I clean the arrow shaft with denatured alchohol , strip the feathers and re-fletch it , clean off the broadhead , change the blades and place it back in my quiver provided it still passes my spin test.

Through small game...I clean them up with warm water and steam the feathers back to shape if neccessary.

For big game...I retire them.

I wash it with warm soapy water. strip the fletchings and refletch after spin testing and inspecting for cracks. I don't like shooting dirty fletchings myself.
