Jayme's original suggestion should be good, alter the blazon to cure the
style problem.
Reblazon: Per chevron throughout {ploye} azure and ermine, in chief a sheaf
of
arrows inverted, and a stag's head cabossed argent.
Now the 'ploye' specifies the curvature of the per chevron field division,
and not a field treatment added to the top of the field. The emblazon
already has the partition lines running down far enough to make this work.
This wouldn't fix conflict issues, which I have not looked for.

Please give your suggestion. This is a second attempt at a returned
device. The
original was "Azure ermine or, a stag trippant". The submitter now wants
four
major elements; ermine, sheaf of arrows, stag's head cabossed, and no
conflicts.

We register the emblazon (the picture), not the blazon (the words).
We adjust the words to suit the picture. If it can't be blazoned
accurately and consistently, it's returned for not being reproducable
and/or blazonable.
A per chevron field, like per fess, per pale, or per bend [sinister],
should divide the field roughly in half. On this depiction, the
ermine is maybe a third. If you move the dividing line up to fix
that, the charges are likely to be in the correct positions and may
even have to shrink a little.
By the way, any interest in period-style armory? This appears
registerable if there's no conflict, but I like to ask in case people
have a preference.
