Bow camo gone good!
« on: August 06, 2022, 07:09:29 PM »
Decided to finally camo my hunting longbow & I’m very happy with the results. Used three colors of flat paint with multiple coats of flat clearcoat. Finish is very durable. Used a seasponge for pattern. I think it shoots better too!!

Using a sponge! That is brilliant! Man, I wish I thought of that when I did mine a year ago- removed it. That is a darn good job you did. Thanks for the idea too!

Here’s my arsenal of items used. I sprayed bow with the Khaki color, then sprayed the other colors into plate & dipped sponge & applied to bow. Dries quickly & then sprayed three coats of clear flat finish. It really seems to be a good, durable finsh too.

Also, lightly dampening sponge with water makes it soft & easy to use.

That came out really nice!
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Well done, it actually looks like someone that knew what they were doing did it. I've seen some that looked rather like they had been painted in the dark by a kid.  your paint job looks like a pro did it.

With that camo animals won't be able to see you which will make you relax and that is why you shoot better. Giggle giggle.

You might want to tie a bright feather as a wind indicator so you can find it leaned against the tree!!!
