3 Rivers has some pretty good camo tape,, Most camo tape the last few years really sucks, but I tried some of theirs last year and was pleasantly surprised.. Stays put when you put it on comes off easy with little cleanup.

Wax up the limbs real good, then use camo face paint to cami it up.  You can rub it off when your done huntin with a rag.  Tape is a pain cause you have to use goo gone to get the residue off.

Those stretch limb covers work great. They are like spandex.

Does Hunters Specialties still make the removeable camo paint? I still have several cans of both the paint and the remover that I found on a closeout. I'm thinking of doing a neat job on the limb facings of my Jack Howard Jet for hunting with it some this year. Seems there is a drawback to any method. I figured I'd clean and wax the bow really well, mask it off and use a very light coat. I would think that it should come off pretty easily this way. CKruse

The most important part of your hunting setup is the broadhead.  The rest is just the delivery system.

I have several sets of "SnakeSkins" which are limb covers made of really light spandex.  They are a very effective camoflage but fit better than the old limb covers and hardly slow the bow down at all.  If I am not mistaken they are made by Alaska Bowhunting.  I got mine from 3Rivers.

Don't bother even waxing your JET.  I used some of the Hunters Specialty sprey paint on my Brown Bear Compound years ago.  When it came time to remove it, it just peals off without leaving a trace.  I don't think I even had to use any paint cleaner to get it off.  Good stuff.
