Hunting with white glass limbs
« on: May 16, 2023, 10:50:56 AM »
Has anyone done it with success? Or I'm assuming the normal move would be to put camo limb sleevs over them?
Hunting is the fun part, once you kill something the work begins

Never tried it except in the snow and that was with medical tape covering dark limbs making them white.

It's not so much color that gets their attention it's movement that will get you caught.

I plan on trying. Better hunters than me think it will be fine in most cases.
I haven't hunted with it yet.

I would think that if you are a treestand hunter, it would be great. Think about how much white space you see you up in a tree when you look at it from the ground up.

So true .
Love the classic look of the white glass.  Go for it.  Don't have a white bow but I'll have white arrows to bring to the woods for this fall

Another option would be Stealth Strips. They have an adhesive backing, and look good as far as camo goes.

Nate Steen made me a sunset hill with white glass on the belly,  I loved the look and shot it great.  After doing some hunting I began to think of it giving me away.  But, after hunting with my brother, he said he couldn't notice it, that afternoon shot a Doe.  No issue here.
