Need some suggestions for displayingkill arrows. Have a new man room and looking for cool ideas. Thanks. BILL
-
I just have a crock in the corner near my bow rack and all the kill arrows go into it.
D.P.
-
My kill arrows get the broadhead touched up and then they are displayed in my quiver. :D No point in quitting on a trained arrow.
Bill
-
I do the same, Bill. Those arrows that break (I shoot cedar) I throw in my kindling box.
-
I have found every arrow that has killed a deer over the last 35 or so years,40 some arrows are nested in a small set of antlers in my basement.
They kind of tell a story, wood to fiberglass (just 1) alum.(a bunch),carbon back to wood. Feathers, vanes, string trackers strings tied to Snuffers, Thunderheads, Magnus 2 blade,
SS Snuffers, Stingers, Eclipes. All bring back memoreys of good and changing times.

Here's how I did one of mine

Bingo!
The only kill arrow I have saved was the woodie I shot my warthog in Africa with my selfbow. That is the only animal I have taken with a selfbow ever and it was broken by the warthog anyway. I do like waht magnus did with his and might just try that with my warthog.

I've killed three hogs with the same Gold Tip(in my quiver). But, I do have several I have retired and are on an empty space on my bow rack.

"A trained arrow"
I like that:)
-
I built a rack. I took 1.1/2 by 3/8 boards made a frame and slotted them to if the arrow.

In a pile on the window sill of my shed...
-
I just clean em up, resharpen the heads and use them again. If they break I throw them away. If they just crack or bend, I shoot them off behind the house.
-
The only one I have (other than the cleaned up ones from last fall that are still in service) is the one from my first whitetail. It was an interesting combination-Howard Hill Tembo longbow, Easton Autumn Orange 2117 shaft and a Rocky Mountain Razor 4 blade head. The following year I switched to cedar and used them for 20 plus years. Those always got cleaned up and reused or broken.
-
Usually try to see how many I can take with the same arrow/broadhead before "retiring" it. I do like the looks of that though Magnus. I will have to consider that if I have another one mounted. Thanks!
-
Thanks guys. That was a special hunt and deer. Arrow broke in the center so I glued it back together and thought it looked good there. If it didn't break I would've reused it.
-
Sharpen and reuse them again, :archer:
-
I figure if they done their job well the deserve to be retired. Kinda like me!
-
I always set the kill arrows aside, hang them on the wall, or just have them laying around .....I never use them again.
-
mine is hanging on the wall same with my first robinhood even though the only offical robinhood (pushing nock into arrow) was done with a crossbow
-
I left a 5575 Goldtip with a screw-in 250gn 1 1/4" VPA 3 blade Terminator hanging on the wall of Homer Ocean Charters office... A bit of $$ to leave behind, but it is kind of the"Custom" up there following a successful hunt... I hope to see it again in the future :pray:

If not bent I put them back in service.I use alum. most of the times and when they get bent or not lost I hang them like this along with my first deer kill pic in my office.I have 3 more hanging since this pic was taken.Kip

On several past deer leases if an arrow was not repairable we had a Dead Arrow Tree. We would shoot the arrow into a tree about 10 or so feet high. After several years there is normally quite a collection up there.
-
I only display bent and broken kill arrows and just put them up in the racks in the basement. The arrows don't neccessarily belong to the rack displayed either.
-
Do you mean like these.

Or like these.

I just put them in a bucket in the corner of the man cave. I don't display them as I don't think they mean anything special to anyone else. Once in a while I go over and rummage through them, recollecting memories, and remembering old lies. I reserve this small bit of my life for me alone.
-
Not having to deal with this particular conundrum, it is, nonetheless, of interest to me. I am coming up with ways to display my collection of unfilled game tags, should I ever find it important to do so. Right now, they are hanging from a hook in the gun room.
Killdeer :rolleyes: :D
