Maintaining instead of replacing

I have in the past cost myself more money by trying to continue to make use of something rather than replace it because I just hate throwing things out. Im not a hoarder, I just hate throwing things away I could use for something. So I find myself looking up ways to recycle things I can't recycle if that make sense. One of my favorite things about making my own wooden arrows is I can repair them. More of my woods for my 3d bow have been repaired than not at this point. I've had guys tell me that my arrow is a write off just to be amazed at how easy it is to repair them with this nifty thing. I love this part. I don't even try to hide the repairs, I think it shows the character of the arrow. This arrow has been through some stuff hahaha. I broke one more this morning but I just make some repair footings sometimes and keep them on hand so it took five minutes to fix it when I got home. At this point when im hare hunting or grouse hunting my quiver is a mixed bag of mismatched patterns and feathers, and different size repair footings. And I think that's awesome. I've been shooting and repairing some of these for two years. Thats not an option with my carbons.
