Broken, Cracked, Damaged arrow shafts...What do you do with yours?

Make wind chimes out of 'em.

Ooo, I like that idea lol even though it's not useful per se.

Ha maybe if you get enough of them you could make a hanger like the bad guy from Indiana Jones and scare your friends in hunting camp.

We use the other option around here.  Peas, tomatoes, green beans...they all start with an old arrow for support.  I think the bright fletching gives them encouragement to reach the top

That's a great idea. I hadn't thought of that.

Rememeber, you can also use them to measure the width of your wife/ex-wife's butt.

Not once theyve been cut........

cut about 5 inch from the vein..    step two take a pen apart and clue the pen inside the shaft it looks *censored* especially in school

Took my slightly bent aluminum XX75's, stripped the fletching off, took nocks off put 5" of shrink tubing over the insert/head end,  and three green castration bands just below that.  Makes nice, extremely light shooting sticks that are the perfect length for sitting down on a coyote/cat calling stand.

Also, if I lose a set or whatever, I don't mind.  I shoot carbons now anyway.  Have give away several sets as well.

i have a bad arrow habit.i bought a dozen or 2 o month this winter and i always throw em in a pile when i build a new arrow or i hit rocks or something.
after inspection i cant find cracks or anything on 90 percent of them.
i shoot a .250 spine so i dont see em working out well for anyone i shoot with.
i really need to find someone that can use em for sure.cuz they really take up alot of room

Swing by the craft store and get some stretch cordage. Then sing by the local archery range and pick up from other busted arrows from the trash. Hopefully, the ID of one will be about the same size as the OD of the other. Cut the larger diameter ones about 3-4" long and glue them on one end of the others and make them into ultralight tent poles or something. Make cheap blowguns for your kids. There are a million uses for a tube. Hell cap one end, drill a hole in the other and stick a bobby pin or the like through it and use them for speedloaders for tube fed .22's. The only limit is your imagination.

I use my old or damaged arrows for mixing paint. They fit in the dewalt drill and the veins mix the paint pretty good. After mixing they are wiped off and hung up to dry out and are ready for the next time.
