Alaska Bowhunting Supply has snow camo Limbskins on clearance for $3.95. I've been using them for years and they work great.

Painter's tape comes in a few colors and won't cure, follow directions.
Pledge spray wax, or car wax left on.

well I personaly do not use any limb camo but then again I never kill anything.However one of the best limb and or bow camo's there are.Is to wipe a thin coat of Johnson paste wax onto your limbs or any part of your bow you want dull finish.Let it dry to a paste wax haze.But do not buff it off.Just let it dry on your limbs and or whatever water proofed and super flat finished ready To hunt.
Season over ? just add one more applacation of Johnson paste wax and this time buff the dry wax off.Your all set for next season.Johnson is one of the best because it's water proof and very dull finish.bd

All these are good suggestions, but keep in mind one thing-some of these solutions (painting, etc...) are bound to create an odor. Make sure what ever solution you choose, it is odorless.
Deer can smell far better than they can see.

I spray paint my limbs and my wife prefers the cloth camo tape. Using the bow socks can be a problem. A friend of mine used the socks, they got wet, his bow finish got splotchy (like the ring on the table left by a wet glass) and he had to have his bow refinished. I would add that unless your bow is shiny that the color is not going to be a problem....lots of guys use white or flourescent yellow fletch on their arrows and use bow quivers without problems. Again, shiny is going to be a bigger problem than color. If you wear glasses and are looking in the direction of the sun you are probably spooking more deer than you will ever know.

Maineac,
In the good ole days the trick is partially found in what some other have already mentioned, with a twist. If you simply rub bees wax on your bows limbs/riser you can then spray paint it with camo paint. Later, using a hair dryer or simply sitting some place where it is warm you can wipe the paint right off of your bow. Works great.

Be careful of the camo spray paints that are supposed to come off so easily with paint remover. I have two bows that I painted in the 80's and never have been able to get all the paint off. Since then, I have been scared to try again. How well do the newer products work?

Yes, like Appex, I have used crayons and beeswax. I have also on my bbo taken 000 steel wool on the glossy finishes, to dull. The bamboo looks alot like the color of corn stalks, in my hunting area.
And for a simple and cheap limb sock, go for a cheap pair of panty hose! Felt markers to create your own pattern. You could also glue on with elmers glue, just like snake skins! Use your imagination, and let us know what you come up with. Good shootin, sSteve
