fasteddie Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Have you ever had an errant shot and embedded an arrow into a tree . Not easy to remove . Try this method to save the shaft and head . Unscrew the shaft from the head . Place double nuts on the screw end of the arrow head . Place a small pry bar end between the double nuts and the tree . Place mild pressure on the pry bar and ease the archery head out of the tree . I doubt that this happens very often but if it happens , this works . Make sure you check the arrow shaft really good as It could be damaged by the hard impact of hitting a hard solid object . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlot Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Missed a buck at 20 yards, with the arrow smacking a tree dead on. 1987. Walk past that tree often. A memory i will never forget. The shaft was removed, but it was cooked. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddie Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 I lost an arrow head in a tree about 10 years ago on my son's property in Italy Valley . I saved the shaft but not the head . The expandable head was probably trashed and I bet the tree has grown over the embedded head in that period of time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampy Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 I just leave the arrows from misses, in the trees as monuments to myself to make better shots! Got a few monuments scattered over the farm. Most are really old. One or two more recent. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNY_Whitetailer Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 With the expense of archery equipment these days, I can see this as solid advice.Sent from my Pixel 7 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
