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.

One other tip...If you have an arrow that does wobble with the broadhead, try it with a field point...
Sometimes it's the broadhead...

Yep, I do as well.

It took me a bit to figure It out as well that Ryan was shooting the same arrows he practices with.

My hunting bow only gets used for hunting season, same thing with my arrows.
Once the broadheads have been tuned on the arrows, the arrows are numberd and so are the broadheads, and thats where they stay till the arrow or broadhead is destroyed. When season is over the bow and arrows are both put in separate hard cases and packed away till next season. When the next season rolls around, I get them back out, do a pre season inspection and usually shoot one arrow from 20, 30, 40, and 50 and I am done.

I have 6 hunting arrows that keep BHs year round, and 6 practice arrows that usually where FPs. On hunting trips farther from home I load up 9-12 arrows all BH tipped, never want to have something happen like bending the half dozen in your quiver on a freak accident and be out.

I spun all my arrows and there was no wobble. I could be wrong but I think that HIT inserts of my FMJs pretty well eliminate misaligned inserts, especially if you finish the arrow with a g5 sqauring device.
