RE: "Numbering" your arrows.....
Washington Hunter: I do have a certain arrow that I always get out the quiver first except for tonight when it fell to the ground and I had to go to the next best.
Last year I put the opening date on one of my arrows so if I killed one I would have the season opener date on it.
If I kill one this year, I am going to put the date which I shot the animal on the arrow if I can find it and start a collection.
