I rather break an arrow than loose one.
At my club shoot last Sat I lost my first Arrow Dynamics Arrow, that hurts....

It`s the wood gnomes. If you miss they run in and steal them. They are very fast.

No, I am good at finding them.   :)
“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

I Am not much of a target type of guy. I like to stump shoot and such, so I tend to break more than I lose. I shoot judos as well so they are pretty tough to lose. I am footing my carbons now, so i hope not to break as many either. Shawn

Heck yes, I lose so many I didn't have more than two or three arrows that worked at one time. Not until I gave in and sat down to make about 8 or so of them.

Yes, I lose a bunch.  I shoot at alot of stupid stuff.  I live in a subdivison, but at the end of our street is a field,   Just last week I had a neighbor throw up a flat basket ball and I shot at it not once but twice.  Missed both times.  I was shooting down toward the field, thought not problem, I should be able to find the arrows sticking up in the ground.  Went down to find the grass chest high in some places, I found one arrow, Been planning on going back down to look for the other,  On saturday I noticed the farmer cutting the field.  I guess that second arrow made its way into a round bale.

I was always taught that if an arrow goes a stray, it was OK, as Fred, or some other bowhunter of times gone by would find it and put it to good use.
