Just washed some pass through arrows and resharpened last night.  I'm ready to go again on Saturday...

Shoot, re-sharpen, re-use unless something dramatic occurs.

All of my broadheads and most of my arrows get reused. I shoot 60# with 600-650 grain arrows so for deer and even pretty large hogs I always seem to get a pass through or if I don't pass completely through the arrow is just hanging in the skin of the exit side and gets knocked out when the animal runs by brush. I just refletch the arrow and touch up the head and it goes back in the quiver.

I like to recondition the used arrow right away, and put it back in the quiver in the "1st" position! I usually am pretty fussy about that #1 arrow. I re-fletch it, shoot it a few times then sharpen that broad head so it will pop hair. Nothing like knowing that arrow has been proven.
I never been able to get more than 3 on one arrow. I can remember one or two lucky arrows that I ruined by missing or having it pass through the target while testing it after a re-fletch.
I currently have a Gold Tip 75/95 with a 175 gr 3 blade VPA in the quiver that has been through 2 deer. The broadhead had to be filed a good bit the last time because it hit a rock in the dirt after passing through the deer. So I'm sitting in the tree... wondering if it is fractionally smaller than it was?

Hum I guess I'm one of the few that keeps everyone.  I leave them just the way I pick them up after I shot one.  I even put up the one's I have shot rabbits with.  As far as deer go I try and attach the tags to the arrow that way I know which arrow got which deer.
