Bow Camo dipping

[Cherokee Scout]

What is your opinion on camo dipping trad bows. Would you ever consider having your bow camo dipped if you could get it done at a good price?
What would you consider a good price to have it done?

[Buckhammer]

I enjoy the look of wood. I don't even own a gun with a synthetic or camo stock. I'm afraid I wouldn't want any of my bows dipped even if it were free. The beauty of the various wood grains and colors are one of my favorite perks to being trad :-)

I have no idea what would be a good price. But I have one metal riser and another one on the way, that I think would be nice with camo. I be interested.

Bows used for hunting turkey would be nice with camo.

I've got/had some bows that I like to look at, even though they're hunting bows, I wouldn't like to camo them.

I have seen sevral done and I believe they cost around $200 give or take for a Traditional bow depending on the company. I do not mind the look but would not get  one done as  I lik ethe look of my bows woods too much. I have taped a whole bow though and did not mind as it was easily removed. Shawn

I used to paint mine with a rattle can. I don't camo my bows any more,though. Here's a picture of an Assenheimer bow,all painted.

John,Great idea----as you know already I think it is a good thought.

We are considering starting a camo dipping business catering primarily to trad archery people. There are a lot of older ugly bows that are great shooters that might be more desirable as a camo. We have had a few camo dipped bows pass thru our shop and they sell very quickly, that is what started us thing about doing it. I am interested in how many might consider having their bow dipped and what they might pay to have it done. Your opinions will be appreciated.

I would not have a bow dipped. I would be more inclined to use the limb skins as they are cheap and removable. There are very few circumstances that I would consider bow camo as critical. JMO

Hi John;
            I would have certain bows of mine Camo dipped , if the prices were better! A dip right now is around $150.00, i can get a refinish on  a Bow for that or less. The Price would have to be around $75.00 -$80.00 for me to consider it. Hope this helps you! Good luck.

I want to have my Super K dipped, I believe I got a price of $150 plus shipping.

[HATCHCHASER]

I have thought about it.  I don't think I would pay over 100.00 bucks.

I built a short 54" take down recurve for a turkey bow. I wanted to get it camo dipped but was told between $150-175. That is way too much, I can't see spending as much on camo as I did building the bow. It would have to be $50-75 for me to do it.

A friend of mine sent his bow to a place that dips guns, they did a wonderful job, looks really good. He paid around $75 to have it dipped. The bow is a 50s style Black Widow recurve. I am not familiar with the different models being a selfbow guy.

John,

I am in the process right now of trying to decide where to send my bow for camo dipping. I would specifically like to have it dipped in Predator Green Deception, is this a pattern you're thinking about?

I'd love to send it to you for dipping, if you decide to start doing it.

I am about to camo my Quinn Stallion myself(paint) but would like to have it dipped. The problem is price. $100-$150 to dip a $200 bow is just a little to steep. It will cost me less than $20 to paint it myself, and I would have enough paint left over to camo several other bows. I have been experimenting with camo patterns, and it is not too hard to paint one and get a great looking bow.

What about a camo painting business? This might be something that more people would do based on price. Let's face it, most people camo a cheaper bow or a very plain looking bow. Most will not dip or camo an expensive "pretty" bow.

I have a kodiak that I would like to have dipped I don't like the black glass like the bow

[BFinegan]

I'd have it done for a bow that I intended to keep. I was thinking a bout it several months ago and ended up putting cloth camo tape on it instead.

I'd send you my Martin Hunter as they are a dime a dozen. I would say no to a custom bow but then problably would like a set of take downs limbs dipped and leave the riser alone. Depening on the riser wood it could look pretty good.

[pumatrax]

can you dip an UGLY Selway slip on quiver (rubber)..

[Cherokee Scout]

We are not sure of any patterns yet. We have made contact with a few sources and we have a place selected to do this business. I believe it will be a  month or two before we get up and running. But one thing for sure, we will good prices.
