Title: How long do lost broadheads last
Post by: Johnb317 on October 07, 2018, 09:06:41 PM: Ok, so crazy question, but my partner shot at an elk and we never found the arrow

I know the carbon arrows will never degrade, but I wonder how long a broadhead would stay sharp? Would never want to step on one trekking through the woods.
