I just put satin black electrical tape on my pretty limbs.
I've also used camo face paint,just smeared it on an wiped it off after the hunt.
I like cheap,,,ask my dauther,,it drives her nuts.

Spray it with a Satin poly. Should do it without doing any harm. But, before I go that route I would call the bowyer and see what he recommends. He could probably do the same thing and it would be perfect. Every time I try to refinish a bow I wind up with the finish running on me.

There should be a federal law against a gloss finish on a custom bow...

Don't do anything to it! Most animals wont notice it's color. I use bright stuff all the time and never been busted. At least by my bow that is.

Just rub the darn thing down with a white candle. It puts a non permanent dull finish on the bow without adding any wieght and can be taken off very easily at any time. If it starts to get shiny again just hit it with the candle wax. Nicest thing is you can still enjoy the beauty of the wood !! Give it a try. Jason

I too would go with one of the suggested options to dull it with wax, candle, limb skins, or whatever your preference is. A good gloss finish is beautiful, and once you spray, sand, or permanently dull it, you can't get it back easily.
