thanks Christian, While some arrows maybe aluminium I have to contend with carbon and wood from other archers so the only real common part is the head or point which is 99% always steel or brass.
the arrows don't often bury themselves in the dirt. More so its a matter of them running along the roots of the grass. Totally concealed by the grass but not really under the soil. Quite often, with bare feet, walking over the grass you can feel them in fact:) But not always.
Most archers know roughly where their arrow is but on the 125yard shots and after 6 or so arrows one does tend to loose track of where each one has landed. Depth perception at that distance is quite difficult. It can easily be 20 m or so beyond or in front of the target.
With say 20 archers firing 6 arrows ea (all helping to look) most arrows get found..On average maybe we loose 2 arrows in a session.
some are cheap, some have taken maybe an hour to produce if nicely crested etc and we tend to become attached to them
Its an interesting problem to solve
