I just have a crock in the corner near my bow rack and all the kill arrows go into it.

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.

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.

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.

I built a rack. I took 1.1/2 by 3/8 boards made a frame and slotted them to if the arrow.

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!
