Michbowhunter had a great set of instructions not to long ago.  Should have saved it, been intending to give it a try.

I don't have any pictures of the process but I've done a few. I use a dremel with a good round cutter the size I want the dimples to be. Just outline the area with a pencil and fill the area inside with dots. I use a vise to hold the bow and outline the back (front) of the bow and the shelf area first and work my way down.

I picked up a 2-Count Steel Engraving Bit from Lowes- works great!
