keeping track of which arrows shoot well from which bow
« on: February 12, 2015, 08:43:35 am »
No, this thread isn't about straightening or restraightening arrows.

For those who own a multitude of bows and who consider it of some importance to match arrows with a bow ..... how do ya keep straight which arrows go with which bow(s)?

Some folks use a color code for different spine weight arrows.

It may sound crazy Mike, but I remember every single arrow I have built. I have some 5-6 yrs old and know exactly what spine they are. I probably have a few hundred in my shop/basement range and know them all well!

I try and make most if not all my bows to be able to shoot the same arrow with maybe minor
point weight adjustment. :)

I write the spine of every arrow directly on the shaft in small numbers with a fine tipped sharpie marker. I make too many arrows to remember.

Color coded, sort of. I usually stain and fletch with colors that match the bow.
