Are you going to use hydrographics or is it something different?  Just curious as to the method you would be using to dip bows.

How about a metal riser dipped to look like wood.

Had one dipped in predator camo by NW Hydroprint, turned out real nice.

What kind of heat is required during the dipping/curing process?  And how long is it "baked" for?  Chad

$50 to $75 a bow.  Would only use it for beat up bows to give a face lift.

Tarjac did a bow for me recently and I gotta say it was not done very well. there were some places that the camo was damaged before it dried and the limb tips were not covered at all.

Have a couple older bows would like to have done but would have to be in the 50-75.00 range as bows arent worth much more then that..wouldnt have a expensive bow done.

Unfortunatly the price of the dipping is the least of your problems.  It's the darn shipping that kills you.

If making money is important, you'll likely make more dipping guns, scopes, gunstocks, etc
There are a million times more guns out there than trad. bows. Good idea.
