    I have over 100 aluminum arrows that I am never going to shoot again. Any ideas on useful things to do with them?

    If there not broken and still useable then sell them or give them away if they are garbage then just throw them out

    Actually, I was looking for some kind of creative non-hunting use.

    I sent you a PM Parker70.

    I use all my old ones for shooting at my megaboom or in the spring while I'm shed hunting I slap on a judo point and go stump shooting.

    I thought about saving all my carbon arrows and then when I have enough I want to make a bar top out of them. Make it out of wood with a half inch lip around the edge, fill it in with shafts, and pour that thick sealant over it to make it smooth. would take a lot of arrows but it would be cool!

    They make cool antennas on jeeps or trucks. They will slip right over the factor antenna.
    Pins are pretty cool. My youngest boy will make a pin when he damages an arrow.

    Same idea. I saw a post that a guy worked with nasp and he wanted to make pens for the kids who took the class.

    I took an old carbon arrow and an aluminum ,and made a fold up camera stick out of it with bungie cord in it .If I have game down and alone, I just simply unfold it, stick it in ground, position with camera screwed on top, and use timer to get my field pics! folds up like a tent pole.

    If you're in to 3d shoots, use them for that. That way if you lose them you won't care and it won't be as expensive as losing your carbons.
