Using Arrows After They Blew Through a Deer?

[UTGrad]

I have had 3 complete pass throughs this week and cleaned them off this evening. I put new broadheads in them and spinned them on the table and they didn't wobble. Anybody reuse their arrows after they passed through a deer?

 

[Big Gun]

Yep. Just check them out for cracks and loose fletchings, shoot them a couple of times to make sure then hunt again.

 

[HOOK]

ALL THE TIME!

Heck yeah, those are my "lucky" arrows !

 

[knightrider]

[stik]

All you gotta do.

must be nice to be stuck in such a horrible dilemma!

Get ya a sharpener for your broadheads and its even cheaper. I have three down this year on two arrows and the same broad heads. All Passthroughs. Had to re-glue the edge of one fletching and she flies true!

I do but the bow has been put away for the year!

Finally time to go out with something that goes boom

I like the "crack" of the arrow hitting hide and bone!

Yep.. just check em good .. things are too expensive to retire after one deer :laugh:

I clean them, write the date on one of the arrow fletchings, and put it back in the quiver. When I pull one out on the stand, I read the date(s) and think of that (those) particular deer. I have a few arrows with a date on each vane.

 

[CCAU]

I still shoot them. They are too expensive not to.

 

[Radar]

Yes , after inspecting the arrow shaft and replacing the blades on the broadhead .

That is cool!

Ive killed 7 this year. Two arrows have 3 each. Both retired now...FMJ's and they finally got bent.

 

[Harvester]

I haven't bought arrows in several years. Just clean them, make sure your heads are sharp, your good to go.

I went through 15 deer with one arrow before a no exit off shoulder hit broke the arrow on the fall.

I had to re-fletch the arrow three times but it held up well. Always bend the carbon arrow and listen for "crinkling" noises which indicate fracturing.

So the answer to your question is YES.
