keep losing arrows
I hunt from a ground blind because I really don't feel comfortable in high places. I've had good success from the ground, but I have a very had time locating my arrows after the shot. I have a great hunting spot, but it's covered in brush and knee high grass. With pass through shots, which they always are, the arrows seem to head out into eternity, never to be seen again, no matter how hard I look. I do my best to mark the shot, but have only found one out of the last 5. Is there any solution to this problem short of climbing a tree, or should I just consider this a part of my hunting trip?

It's part of hunting from the ground .... hard to find arrows from pass thru's ... they usually enter the grass or cover with low tragectory and get burried ... some travel a long way !

I am using florecent chartreuse vanes, so that hasn't helped. I looked into the lighted nocks, but read some poor reviews on them and wasn't sure I wanted to put out the bucks if it didn't work. Has anyone here tried them? If they do work, they might be worth a try. I could check after dark and maybe have some luck.

Just an off the cuff suggestion:Try using the fine thread that some use to follow/locate game.I hae not used this but have read about the use of it. This may provide a means of locate.
