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.

If you feel comfortable with using a broad head and arrow after its been shot through an animal then by all means re-use it. I just don't because the fixed broad heads for me seem to never spin true. Maybe the point is bent slightly or the broad head insert itself is off. Also not certain of the arrows structure after impacting an animal. As someone else stated there could be hair line cracks in the arrow.

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)

Warm water and dish soap in sink, be careful with very hot water,it may ruin your vanes!

 

[hillscreekkid]

Little dish soap and warm water. Then flex the arrow and go over it really well.

 

[pd230soi]

Hot water and rag for the arrow. Flex check, and cotton ball check.

Clean the G5 Montec with hot water and old tooth brush. Resharpen, strop, and back into quiver.

My Montecs have been through enough deer that they seem to know the way on their own.

I was out of water once, got deer back to truck and used my scent eliminator spray bottle...worked great...I know...money down the drain. It does seem deer like to run to water after the shot, perfect for cleaning up everything after field dress; knife, arrow, hands.
