Removing arrow from tree

[fasteddie]

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 .

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.

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 .

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.

With the expense of archery equipment these days, I can see this as solid advice.
