What Do You Do With Broken Arrows?

[Whip]

Make Christmas ornaments of course!

You're ate up Joe!  

[Whip]

No, my arrows are ate up - by rocks and trees and stumps and stuff  

[Gatekeeper]

Now that's making lemonade out of lemons.
Very creative Whip!

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.

[Littlefeather]

Wait! If yours are broke Jason they'll fit me fine!     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!

[Bjorn]

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!

[Gene Roberts]

Sweet,I havent broken an arrow yet.(A few months)

[elk ninja]

'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.
