RE: How many of you
If it isn't broken or otherwise damaged it gets new blades and 're-tuned' and back in the quiver. It may or may not be my primary, but it'll be ready to kill again if/when I need it.

RE: How many of you
The only arrows that I have ever purposely retired after killing a deer were in 2 pieces.
I subscribed to the "Lucky Arrow" theory too.......In fact I had one lucky A/C/C 3-49 that made it through 7 animals before an accidental spine shot rolled on it.[]

Unless I noticed some damage to the arrow I cannot think of a time when I "retired" it after using it on an animal. I could see the potential cause for concern in some cases but with most pass-throughs I am not sure if it would be an issue.

I have always retired the arrow and broadhead after it has done it's job. So far 32 arrow / brodheads are resting comfortably. I wright on the vane the date, bow, animal & size, draw weight and location on each one.
