HOW DO YOU DECIDE WHICH ARROWS TO USE

Often someone who hunts with a bow goes to the sporting goods store and chooses several arrows to shoot for the upcoming season. If he decides to test three or four different broadheads, he'll pick out several to affix to his arrows. When you look in his quiver, you'll see a wide variety of broadheads, arrow lengths, vanes and feathers for fletchings. He's planning to shoot everything on the market. He wants to make sure he has one of each different style of arrow, broadhead and fletching to suit different situations. If the weather's bad and he hunts in the rain, he'll shoot vanes for fletchings. If the weather's pretty and clear, he'll shoot feathers with no consistency to the type of arrows, broadheads or fletchings he carries in his quiver.

However, the bowhunter will pay as much attention to details about his arrows as he does to any other piece of his equipment. Each arrow will be exactly the same length and spined the same. Every arrow will carry the same broadhead, because the bowhunter has tested several different types of broadheads and determined which broadhead flies best in his bow. Each broadhead has been painstakingly sharpened. Each arrow has been spun to make sure the shaft is straight. He doesn't have a favorite arrow he always shoots first because each arrow in his quiver performs in exactly the same way.

Once a bowhunter shoots an arrow at a deer, he either resharpens the broadheads or replaces them. He spins the arrow to make sure it's still straight. If he finds an arrow not straight, he eliminates it from his quiver. The bowhunter knows that to increase his odds for taking game and to shoot consistently on every shot, every arrow in his quiver has to be identical and must perform the same way that every other arrow in his quiver does.
