Arrow Numbering Decals

[45-90scout]

Anyone make their own or know of someone that makes them, or where a person could even buy them in canada?

[Mike_W]

Maybe check with Streaks arrow wraps they are out of Calgary and are sold out of both Edmonton and Calgary JimBows.

I have always just used a fine point sharpie on a vane

Use a silver or gold sharpie.

I put a wee number on my fletch, I can see it from my quiver.

Sounds too simple. Will the ink from the sharpie throw off my flight characteristics?

Yeah the black sharpie throws my poi to the left but the pink sharpie works fantastic...i think it even up'd my feet per second!

I number my shafts because if my fletch comes off or I re-fletch there is a chance the shaft could be re-numbered something else.

Maybe I am missing something but what are you numbering the arrows for?

I like to number mine. Out of a dozen arrows not all of them fly the same.
#1 arrow is the arrow that has perfect flight. Groups exactly the same with broadheads and field points and this is the arrow i plan on using to put through an animal. Some guys number them according to age of the shaft. Some guys put a finishing shot arrow in their quiver if they ever have to put another shot into a wounded animal.

If you shoot competition you sometimes get an arrow that takes a smack....it may or may not fly true afterwards, by numbering you can keep track of specific arrows.

This is actually good advice for those starting out. I think arrows are pretty consistent nowadays, I've had exactly one arrow go wonky and corkscrew. That one ended up being a chicken arrow.

I don't number my arrows, but I do mark any that take a hit and I don't use those on an animal. Wouldn't remember what number, but if I pick up an arrow with a mark I know what it means.
