Losing arrows.

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

What can help too to a degree is brightly colored fletching.Mow the range area short you are using if it's your own too.Stump shooting is an option too for practice with a woods/leaf litter type floor.Putting over an hour into making arrows 1 at a time I usually try pretty hard to take them all back home.
osage outlaw:
Make a good backstop for your target. I made one from conveyor belt material and a rubber horse stall mat. Arrows bounce off of it.
Pat B:
An old piece of carper will also work for a back stop. Even if the arrow passes through it slows it down.
mullet:
I haven't had any trouble losing arrows just because my bras were short. My wife said you can let the straps out a little and get more support. ???

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.
