Sighting in a bow...

This may sound stupid, but I have an idea that may really work.
Do you think once you shoot your arrows, you could somehow retrieve the arrows and use them again? It's getting awfully expensive and I'm thinking a styrofoam block or some type of layered material tightly wrapped in plastic could stop the arrows and keep them in one place. What about a 3-D rubber type target in the shape of a deer or hog?
Sorry Drew... I had to...

no, you must buy new arrows. styrofoam wouldnt work you have to practice on pine trees to check penetration on each shot.

I recommend a shooting at a 2x4.

That's what I figured.
Funny story, when I was a kid probably 20 years ago I was shooting at a squirrel with my bow in my yard. Sure enough, I stuck an arrow in the side of a pine about 20 yards up or so.
I went by the old home place a year or so ago and sure enough that arrow was still up there... I don't know where I expected it to go, but it's funny that it was one of the first things I looked for.

Best thing I found to do is get a
Cup or pan
Knife
Bow and arrows obviously
Booze
And magic Johnson.
Invite magic over and make him a drink. Continue to liquor him up until he passes out. Then take the knife and spill just a little bit of his blood into the pan. Then, take the arrows and very carefully dip them into the blood. Be sure not to get any on yourself. Then take the arrow and fire it from the bow straight into your face.
Sorry TC, I had to.
But in all seriousness, I had never heard of bore sighting and even mentioned in my OP that it probably wasn't anything new.
Sorry if the response is over the top. I have a sick sense of humor.

Magic Johnson doesn't have AIDS anymore. I'm still not taking any chances though...
It's all good.
