I like to reuse them. Like to see how many a single head will put down.

I only use my arrow more then ounce if I use it for small game. Otherwise, it goes into retirement.

I retire some of them. The special ones, like my caribou and mountain lion, or the deer I took hunting with my son. Otherwise if they aren't broken I will reuse some of them. I took 2 whitetail bucks and a Texas hog with the same cedar arrow years ago.

Used to re-use them, now I just hang'em on the wall, after I clean'em up.

Use it until it's too damaged to use.

Unless damaged I reuse, it already knows what to do.

I will usually reuse the broadhead, shaft, and all after it goes through an animal if it's not broken. Old broadheads I don't use on big game will be put to use pestering small game. Broadheads that are totally over the hill go into a box. That box is full of memories!

I killed a white tail buck, 2 javies, a turkey and 2 hogs with the same woodsman. The last hog tweeked one blade a little so I retired it. They are junk!

If there broke I write the date and kill on them and put them in "the pile". If not wash em up and send them through another critter !

I'm cheap I use them until they just can't be used anymore. I have a bear razorhead I call lucky it's been through 7 white tails! It will be in my quiver again this fall.

Reuse them if I can. Discard anything not reusable. No regrets.
