water and a papertowel

 

I tend not to re-use an arrow that has hit game. Carbon arrows can have microscopic fractures that propegate, leading to a potential catastrophic failure down the road.

Totally save the broadhead however.

I don't use arrows once they pass through game either.

I have pictures with the deer/pig/turkeys I've killed. When my "man cave" is finished, I'll hang the arrows with the pictures as my "trophies"... Taxidermy is expensive so for me to pay for an animal mount (I have multiple trout on the wall already) it will have to be a deer worthy the record books.

 

Warm water and wipe it off. The longer it dries the more you will have to scrub.

 

If I’m around water in the field, i rinse my arrow then,because as Dale mentioned, it can be stubborn if it dries. Also, i use a homemade scent killer that consists of baking soda and peroxide and keep a small bottle in my backpack. Both of these are great at removing blood even from clothes.

 

Hot water and paper towel and good to go

 

I get the main stuff off and roll with it. Little blood on it won’t hurt. I don’t “clean” it just make sure it’s not gonna get everywhere. Generally little water and my hand it all will come off. I wear a glove usually cause if I got blood I’m skinning a deer so I wear nitrel gloves.

I just swish the arrow off in the creek as soon as I find it

 

Hot water...

If I threw away every arrow I use on game, Id be out a dozen or more arrows a year. I always re-use after a roll test, never an issue.

 

I have found that some of my fixed broadheads never spin right after going through a deer. I don't use both broadhead and arrow after its been shot through a deer.

That's true. But if it isn't bent, I'm not gonna toss it out. Just gotta spin test them to see.

 

hot water and a soft bristled brush. give it a flex and spin it to check it out. sharpen the broadhead and back in the quiver. 2 of my deer this year were killed with the same arrow and i think the broadhead that's on it has been through 3, maybe 4 deer.

 

Exactly what I do.
Killed four deer with same arrow and BH before the arrow broke. Did refletch between killings as I use feathers and they are good for one pass through. And I resharpened the BH between killings.

 

Hot water and an old toothbrush.

 

Exactly what I use. I use it to clean up the broadheads too.
I can't get over the amount of people who won't use an arrow or broadhead after it's been through an animal. I've killed several animals with the same arrow and am still shooting a Grim Reaper I've put through probably a dozen deer/hogs. Replace or sharpen the blades and keep on watching them drop.

 

cold water and an old rag for blood.
warm water and an older rag for grease or entrail stains.

 

Water and a paper towel.

I've shot 2 deer and 2 coyotes with the exact same arrow this fall, just swapped out the Rage Hypo broadhead.

 

If the blood has dried just use warm water and dishwashing soap.

 

water

 

Like a few others, I have a collection of bloody arrows with broadheads intact in my trophy room. I've never reused either arrow or head.

 

In the kitchen sink

 

Yup. Same place I wash my hunting knives and my butt-out! LMAO!

 

Any household cleaner, Fantastic or stuff like that. Rinse with water. The scent will dissipate pretty quick.

 

Slop sink, hot water and fingernail brush.

I killed 4 deer with the same GT Pro Hunter and 100gr ST standard a couple years ago. Believe I could have got 5 or more but the arrow zipped through a doe and into a god awful greenbrier thicket. I couldn’t dig in far enough to find it.

 

I used to keep bloody hunting arrows as trophies.....until the dried out blood started flaking chunks around my man-cave. Then I started immediately cleaning and reusing them for several years......without a single issue These days I flex and spin a "killer" hunting arrow after cleaning, then turn it into a practice arrow. During the off-season I shoot different targets to keep my arrows apart. Prior to and during season, I shoot either a 3D or cardboard silhouette and end up smashing an arrow or two along the way....just shooting two an end. The two I have "repurposed" so far this fall are making nice practice arrows and flying just fine.

 

Warm water and the green no scent shower soap. Always get that broadhead off and apart as dirt and blood will make some of them rust. Back in the 90's I used one Gold Tip arrow to kill 8 deer. #8 broke it as I did not get a full pass through. Those old Wasp Hammers were great, usually just dinging one blade as it went through the ribs. Used fresh replacement blades, spun and flexed arrow, shot my target a couple times to be sure it was on and back into the quiver it went. You can get water inside the shaft so make sure it gets dry. I will set an arrow outside in the sun for a day or you can blow dry it, but on med or low heat.

 

Hot water and Dawn dishing machine detergent. Dawn takes grease out of the way! (and other stuff too)

 

I like having bloody arrows that need a good cleaning.....:thumbs_up
