Jeff,
The sharpie ink stays on the arrow, I have no problems there. But writing on the actual broad head, it wears off. Once I put FP’s on after the season I lose my true spinning combos. I supposed I could store my heads in such a sequence to know which arrows they went back on.
I do the same things as you & shultzy as far as placement in the quiver. Best arrow goes in the #1 slot.

GregH,
I’m shooting carbons, I’ve heard the boiling thing is my only option, but I never tired it myself or got confirmation that it really works.
