Shot/kill arrows

what are you guys doing with your blood stained arrows, i threw mine back in my case ready to be fired another day....

what say ye?

I clean em up and reuse em, as long as they're not damaged. Of course if I killed anything wall-worthy, I'd probably retire the arrows and mount it with the rack, I suppose...

SAME THING....why the heck would i throw away a perfect arrow.......A dirty arrow is like a butthole. You wipe it clean then reuse it..............................................

yeah, i get yall's point, they are ready to rock again in my quiver, i shoot feathers, so how would i go about cleaning them, i think i'm going to just let them be and wipe down the shaft, but man, the BH's are still sharp after blowing completely through 2 hogs!

I'm with ya'll. Reuse em.

Re-use them!!! I just use warm water and maybe some soap, but an old toothbrush works magic on the blood!

Why wipe em off??? I like em with all the blood on em. Makes em look tough.

re use them, I dont wipe the blood off either....makes me feel tough.

If I shot a booner I would retire it though. I also did retire my FIRST bowkill arrow! I put the deer tag around it, its still got blood stains on it

It stinks, and it causes drag, plus it gets flaky and I don't want dry blood chunks flying in my eye! I like my stuff clean!

A bloody arrow doesn't make me tough.

I love the smell of blood in the morning.

You wouldn't want to smell the one that I shot a cat with.........

couldn't you just toss it in the shower with ya in the morning?

see marks post.

my first buck rolled on the arrow, so he broke it in half, I did not get a pass thru as I hit the spine.

Like the rest of you I clean em up and recycle them. I had one that really became my favorite I took 7 deer with it before it finally got destroyed
