Charlie, at least now your bow matches your arrows! I figure if its good enough for Mr. Lamb its worth considering!

I'm always more worried about the shine than the color scheme, but since I was at it I figured why not.
Helps keep me busy.   ;)

Thank you, Snow Crow.

I will humbly suggest that anything other than a coat of paint added to the limbs is likely to have an effect on performance. Every bit of weight added to the bow or the string results in energy lost in inertia that otherwise would go into the arrow.

Don Stokes, WD40 works well for removing old tape glue also.

Good idea, rainman. I should have thought of that. It's a great solvent.

I have found that lightly washing any shiny surface, whether factory bow finish, spray paint or leather, with 91% rubbing alcohol will dull the  
shine, just go easy with it.

Same here also. Now days just hit them with a flat or satin clear coat. I really think shiny stuff scares animals.
