lost arrows

Post by srwiles0007 »

I hardly ever recover arrows in the woods. A pass through gets up under the leaves and lost. So I started buying my arrows on ebay for about one dollar each and cut them to my size. Also the broad heads, if you buy them early in the year I bought 20 rocky 100 gr. for $24.00 bucks. So I just don't look for them any more. Does that help? :twisted: Doepee

Since I started using tracer nocks I have not lost a single bolt in practice or in the woods. Missed a doe yesterday at 35 yards as the sun was going down and shot over her back into a briar thicket. Not only did I find my arrow in less than 2 minutes with the red nock glowing - but also CLEARLY saw the arrow went over her back as she pancaked by about 2 inches. (Thank goodness - a clean miss) Wouldn't hunt without them anymore.
