Losing arrows.

Morgan:
I’ll bet my yard has ate a dozen arrows. I keep my bras pretty darn short and it’s amazing how well an arrow shaft can bury itself in it. I thought I was shooting well enough that all that was behind me, but I guess not. Shooting at styrofoam blocks at varying unknown yardage’s and angles. Made what would have been a quartering away shot. Arrow passed through a corner and is gone forever. Walked circles barefoot for half an hour to no avail. I need a metal dectector, may be able to find them by their points.

joachimM:
I know the feeling... And halve year later they turn up, crooked and with rusty heads.
My experience is that an arrow is typically buried a meter or so before where I thought I had seen it hit the ground.

Morgan:
I didn’t even know this one passed all the way through the block till I went to pull arrows. I’ll look again in the morning. Hate losing them things.

Pat B:
Get a pole and add a hook to the end and drag it across the path of the arrow beyond your target. Sometimes an arrow hook will find them. Sometimes they are returned to Mother Nature.

loon:
I lost ~3 arrows last time I went shooting, that I didn't even recall having missed. Really don't like shooting at ranges with grass ..

blunts, judo points and the like get buried a lot less
