Use an INDUSTRIAL fine point sharpie.  You can seal over the writing without it running.  Just make sure it's an industrial sharpie.  I get a local office supply place to order them for me.

Sanford Ink comes in a bottle at most hobby stores.  You need to get a special pen to use the ink.  It is used for fancy writing.  It is cheap.  I write on the clear glass then spray over it with Thunderbird.  Dries fast and won't run.  You can also order it through Thunderbird Archery but I have found it at Ben Franklin hobby stores.  Chad

India ink also works real good and can be sprayed over with your favorite finish and will not run or fade..........bowdoc

I also use india ink with a fine ink pen, but I finish my bows with Tru Oil. Works great. Each year I write what critters I took with the bow and can just cover that area with TO and you'd never know finish was added.
