Hey,
I was just wondering how many bow hunters out there have lost arrows while hunting. I just got back from a turkey trip and managed to lose about $40 in arrows and broadheads.
I
I just hope that I am not alone out there.

I usually "donate" at least one a year while hunting. If there's grouse involved, often more than one.
Just part of doin' business....

I have found many over the years.
You bow guys really shouldn't be leaving those sharp little things laying about, someone could get hurt!

I would always break a few a year while in camp shooting does that count
It adds up fast when a bare arrow is over $6

I lost a 340 Axis arrow with a blunt about a week ago on a grouse, most expensive grouse I never got.

I've lost one... question is how long before the broadhead rusts out and is no longer a hazard.... wouldn't want to step on one!!
Lucked out on my Rosie.... lodged in a tree on the other side... no hunting for it.

Dose anybody think that it would be better to just get those 3 pack broad heads at Walmart for $10, if I am not going for big game, or do you think that it really effects the flight pattern of the arrow. All I know is that it would save some serious
