Lost wood arrow

[NY Yankee]

Yes, that's why I shoot wood arrows. I can just build more.

Well, I looked for a couple hours over a couple days and wherever it lays it stays. Time to move on. Thanks for all the inspiring words.

It depends of the wood used. I have lost POC arrows and found them later with feathers rotted off and metal target point almost rusted off. I brought it in the house and laid if flat on my work bench and gave it a few weeks to dry. Once dry I sanded and resealed, fletched and added a new point and it shot as well as before. Other woods would have rotted but POC is very rot resistant.
Now, finding lost arrows is another thing. 

yes what Pat said. I have lost them in the fall and found them the next spring !!  still good just need feathers!
