Hay Mike:
Just cut notches in the limb like the gun fighters of the old west use to do to their six guns !!! big notches for big game and little notches for small game.

Use a Plains Indian "Coup" mark. A line about 3/8" long and 1/16" wide. I use black fine point laundry marking pens. Stays on just fine.

So THAT'S why Paul's bows all look like they've got the Ted Nugent treatment??? Zebra stripes all up and down the limbs !!!

I cut pieces of string on my rattle bag to attach my deer tags. I have a knot for each deer I have taken where the cuts were made. I'll be needing more string this next season!

Just one more step please!

Too short,
I just thought you were fond of black glass bows...didn't know they started off clear. Myself, I better use the THICK pens to make up the difference

I slice a small sliver of leather on my grip with the broadhead of the arrow I shot with.

why not draw a "cave drawing" of the type animal you killed somewhere on the bow. You don't have to count, or you can make "notches" below the drawing.
