I've been getting into my bow hunting this year. So I'm pretty new to it all but this is what I've found:
An arrow with a broad head will go through a bunny and so far into the ground and you might not see it to find it.
The washer stops the arrow from penetrating the ground, it just sort of flips end over end.
The washers will invariably get bend but you can straighten them up in a vice.
From what I've seen it's both effective and ethical but won't be legal on DOC land as your arrow-head has to have blades*.
A 20c coin with a hole drilled in it will do the trick too (& possibly cheeper than washers).
[COUGH] Not that it's legal to do that to money.
