Do you have an Arrow Rake?

They work well.

Something like in the link below.  Don't buy though just make your own.

  Apply some kind of scent to your feathers and train a dog to sniff them out. Lots of breeds will do this, doxens, beagles even chuhuahuas. If you make it stink enough you will be able to sniff them out yourself!

I have a bulldog who can smiff them out just from my having touched them. She's worth her weight in dog biscuits.Ronnie

Most will straighten their arras but I just leave mine bent. That way they act like a boomarang and come back and land at my feet. >:D :o

LOL, that's a great excuse for my arrows!  >:D

I've tied some bright string/yarn on the back of the arrows which act as tracers when shot. And if the arrow buries itself in the grass, you can just find the end of the string and pull the arrow out.

I met a guy last year who was trying to invent a transponder for the front end to help you find your deer after you shot it.  No kidding.  I saw the gizmo.  Pretty high tech.
Rick, don't never miss and you won't have to look for arrows. ::)
