What do you do with your arrow after a kill

[Matthews]

Here's something to talk about. After taking an animal do you keep using the arrow or dedicate it to the animal. I dedicate it to the animal and put the arrow in the horns on the wall.

[Trav]

I keep my arrow and hang it on the wall out of respect for the animal that gave up its life

[gonefishin]

I keep mine in my bow case, but am planning on building a little rack to hold them.

[BigRackLover]

if the arrow is still good I put it back in the rotation, otherwise I usually clean it up and put on the plaque mount

[wctbowtech]

I usually put a new broadhead on and use it on the next critter.

[MathewsArcher]

Sharp broadhead and back in the quiver.

I built an oak rack and hung it in my hunting/fishing room. Might post a pic tonight if i have time.

keep a strain on er.

Here are afew pics of the arrow rack i built out of oak. I branded my initials in the face plate with a small bent wire. It does the trick, but id change a couple things if i were building another....First id make it smaller, alot smaller!! Im just real fussy in the field... Ya thats it.:ashamed:

keep a strain on er.

Like the rack, you should go in to production with them, great idea.

Give it a wipe, toss a new broadhead on it, and get to shooting again..

Sometimes I might retire a broadhead...sometimes I will just swap out blades or re-sharpen it up if its still in good shape....

Replace / sharpen & reload!

[catnthehat]

Wipe it off, change the fletch if need be, sharpen the Zwickey, and stick it back in the quiver, unless it's beyond repair.
Then I simply bbust it in half and get that great Port Orford smell of the cedar!

Save the broadhead, check arrow for straightness, if arrow is good put on a judo and add to chicken quiver.

[RUM]

Clean, then with any luck, repeat!

[CNP]

If it's not broken it's good to fly another day, clean it and reuse it..............not cleaned yet...

[Hoochie Papa]

Lather......Rinse........Repeat

[gunslinger]

yea you bet wiper off and use er for my goodluck charm on the next one, i usually change out the blades of my muzzzy 3 since you can.

I saved the arrow from my first archery kill ever last year (probably would have re-used it, but it was busted).

This fall, I killed my first yote with a bow, and that arrow went back into the quiver, blood stained vanes and all. For the rest of the season, that was the arrow that was nocked.

When I managed to take my first archery buck this November, that was the arrow that flew first. It ticked a branch and hit the ground under the buck. I connected with my second shot, and recovered both arrows. They're back into rotation because I'm cheap. Once I get another bunch of 'em they may be retired. I love the karma that they have, but I'd really hate to lose one of 'em too. Maybe they'll just ride along in the quiver. Not sure yet........

I use a black pen an write the animal name on the fletch and use it again. This year I got my WT buck, MD buck and Pronghorn buck all with the same arrow. I figure if I can make it to six (one name on each side of every fletch) I'll put it on the wall. Bear season coming soon, I find they almost always break my arrows though.:)
