Default Throw arrow out?

I have a collection of used bloody arrows from successful hunts, but never reused them.
I was wondering how many of you reuse their arrow after shooting @ an animal?
Obviously, you must check them out, but my habit is just discard them..

I killed four deer over a three year period with the same goldtip arrow,washed it of and dried it and sprayed it with scent killer each time and changed the broadhead,but it still flew good until I finally broke it on number four,but I still had 11 more!!!

As long as they're still shootable,they go back in the quiver.No need to throw them away.If you don't want them,an archeryclub or scout troop could probably use them

I agree with others. Throw them on the spin tester to make sure they aren't bent, clean em up and keep on shootin!
