:bigsmyl: :clapper:
You're ate up Joe! :thumbsup:
No, my arrows are ate up - by rocks and trees and stumps and stuff :bigsmyl:
Now that's making lemonade out of lemons.
Very creative Whip!
I like it!

Good Ideal but I wouldn't have any room for lights and bulbs if I was to hang all my broken arrows.
So far in 2007 I have broken or lost 139 arrows (yes, I count).
Most of them were broken in a little patch of woods behind the house where I stump shoot. I always launch what's left toward a rock outcropping in the center of the woodlot. Been doing it for years.
The rock pile looks like an arrow grave yard. :)

I have stared at this pic for like five minutes... what are those?
I used to make pens from my broken aluminums but don't shoot em anymore. With woodies, it depends on how short it breaks. I may make it into a short stumper/ rabbit arra or keep it around until I find a good way to remove the fletching to reuse. Hey I am cheap! Usually take a good sniff on the cedars and send the rest to the kindling pile.
Very cool Christmas idea.
Wait! If yours are broke Jason they'll fit me fine! :bigsmyl: Don't hang em on the tree. CK

Those are used to repair arrows,I bought 2 dozen from him and they work great.Hardest part is sanding down to smooth the transition on the shaft.They work good for arrows that break right at the point or a few inches back.
Great idea, got one more thing to do this weekend.
Varmit,
I chucked mine up in my crester to slowly rotate the whole shaft, then just wrapped the sandpaper around the shaft & held on to the ends of the paper. Perfectly smooth at the joint and when re-dipped in Poly, you couldn't feel any indication that they were t separate pieces of wood.
That reminds me of the "shotgun santas" a friend made out of old red shotgun shells. They're cute on the tree.
I've taken broken aluminums and used parts of the shafts to foot my carbon shafts with.
Everything has a purpose!
Those ornaments are really neat! I'm going to make some tonight.
Jim I love the reparrows-gotta be one of the better archery innovations around!
Sweet,I havent broken an arrow yet.(A few months)
'mater steaks!
I'd thought about making a bullseye out of plywood and paint the red,blue,yellow and white circles, and then drilling a few holes the size of the broken shafts and gluing the shafts in the holes.It would look pretty cool in a shop or something. :knothead:
cut off below the cresting. Drill out the center 5-6 inches tapper the end and incert the ink tube from a bic pen into the shaft. Instant pretty pen.
Launch whats left and bid them farewell with the saying "Fly Be Free!". I think that came from Robin Williams as Mork when he would throw up an egg to set it free......
...working on a selfbow...making ornaments...geez Joe you're practically one of Santa's Elves!
Merry Christmas my friend!

I think they're beyond repair. ;)

I am with pointy sticks.
I put Bic pen inserts in the broken aluminum or carbon shafts and give them to people. They are always a big hit. Chicks really dig 'em for some reason. I recently gave one to my boss and she reports that all of the executive types want one.
Fortunately they are rare these days; as I get better I break fewer arrows.
