Can a bow be to perdy ?

[dringge]

Cant help myself. I like a nice looking bow. When I order a new one I always consider buying something in camo colors but always spring for the pretty wood.
Ive never been accused of being really smart.

Even a beautiful bow can be an effective hunter. And if it gets a few dings, it can be refurbished, so I would answer no to the question. I have never had an issue with glossy bows in a hunting scenario, either. The only possible exception might be a bow to commemorate a specific event or person. Even then, I would probably want to use it.

I have a recurve with antler accents that are very white. It makes me self conscious for hunting. I rub mud on the white parts. It comes off easy, and is no big deal.

My wife found out that I put my bow on here .
She made me post a picture of her bow that was made at the same time .
She thinks hers is better looking than mine .
So here it is .
It's not perdier than mine .

That's too close to call, but I bet if she poses with hers, and you pose with yours........hers will be unanimously voted perdier.

You come up with a name for it yet, Dale? I still think you oughta name it "Wormwood".

I had a very nice zebrawood bow built recently with an East Indian rosewood butcher block I beam and accents...I let the bowyer make the decision on finish, fully expecting he would add his great gloss finish...when I got the bow it was done in his matte finish which at first I found disappointing as I had no intention of hunting with that bow...of course, given some further thought, that bow will be going elk hunting with me this fall...we are bowhunters...we buy bows to hunt with

To me the true beauty of a bow is how well it shoots.

I can't change the name Kirk , Jose Miller the guy that made it for me , already named it .
The name is " The Wormhole " , as you can see in this picture .

[Pine]

I see where a couple posts referred to my bow as to shiny .
The finish is very flat and the black and white ebony make a good camo pattern .

I like beautiful woods in my bows. In fact, that's a big reason I won't own a longbow or 50's style recurve...not enough wood to look at.

I had one bow that was too shiny (I ordered it that way) for me to hunt with without covering it all up (with an ugly suit). I sold the bow. I sooooo wish I had thought to just have it refinished in satin.

Yep, I know the cosmetics don't impact the impact. But, I spend a lot more time looking at my bow hanging in the tree than I do at deer I'm waiting on.

Don't want to hurt anybody's feelings, but your bride has the prettiest bow.....wonder if she is a better shot too.    

[Pine]

Well now that you bring that up , I can only out shoot her after about 15 shots .
She will most always hit the 10 ring on the first shot at 20 yards . Then she gets tired quickly , and the arrows will be all over the bag . After about 20 or so she will even miss the bag .
But as we all know , the first arrow is the only one that counts .

[Pine]

Funny thing happened a while back .
We were starting to shoot this one time and I said " First arrow for a million bucks " .
She shot first and as usual , smack center of the 10 ring .
Then I shot and put my arrow about 3" high and about 1" left of the bull .
She said " What was that ? "
I said " I didn't want to hit your arrow " .
Yeah , that's my story and I'm stickin' with it .    :rolleyes:

I'd love to be able to pile on but I like the looks of his better.

[Pine]

Thanks , but I have to admit that her bow looks like desert .

[Killdeer]

You mean dessert.

Graps, you are so lucky that your wife likes "gnarly"!

You are both lucky. Love both bows.

Actually her bow looks like a desert at sunset .

To answer your question -
Nah.  Not for any bow I would buy.
