How do you mark your arrows?

[Squirrel Hunter]

Ya'll won't like this....

I mark my arrows with colored stripes, using electrical engineering color code (aka resistor code: black=0, brown=1, etc.). I use two colored stripes or a broad stripe with thin borders under the feathers to show the spine. Between feathers and nock I use stripes to show the arrow weight, not including the point. On the foreshaft, about halfway from crest to point, each arrow gets a single stripe or two stripes to show arrow number. It's easy to notice during target practice if a certain arrow isn't flying or grouping as well as the others.

I shoot carbon, am particular about my bareshafting, my wraps are numbered so I can identify an arrow that might be a habitual offender, but that rarely happens. They have all been pretty consistent, so I've never felt a need to single out any favorites. If I were shooting wood that might not be the case but overall, I'd say that am pretty much OCD free.
