Best way to temporarily "camo" limbs

[maineac]

My new limbs are red elm, which is a fairly light color.  As dusk approaches they seem to lighten more (especially if facing west).  I got busted the other night, and I think it might have been the light colored limbs.  I would like to find a away to "camo" them temporarily.  What is the best way to do this with the lest effect on the limbs in terms of slowing them down.  It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just something that is easy to apply and then remove after hunting season.

camo bow socks from 3rivers

I just bought the bow sock from 3rivers for my longbow.  The limbs were yellow and seemed to stand out to me.  No ill effects that I have noticed.

Some food coloring and wax mixed.A coating will last a while and easy to replace or remove.This tip was from Dr.Ashby.

Limbsations from Onestringer.  They are vinyl decals that stick on and remove easily.  The best part is that you have so many designs to choose from, so you can really customize your bow.  I have Diamondbacks on mine right now.

Crayola crayons!  Don't laugh.  I had a Wesley Special with boo limbs that were very light.  I colored the back with brown and then splotched in some black.  It didn't look half bad and was very easy to remove later.

Camo tape. Comes off easily, cleans up with "Goof off" solvent(which doesn't harm the bow), and can safe a few scratches from the bow. I've used it for years.

I used to use camo tape on my old Browning compound, but didn't know it it would slow down the limbs.  

Apex, how did you remove the crayon, goof off or something else?

[Ray Hammond]

how about that duck blind spray paint that wipes off with acetone?

i use Face paint!...it's a cream sets up and easily removed by water and light scrubbing with hand cloth....no harmful chemicals or tape or sprays.........face camo paint...especially with halloween around the corner...go to wally world or wherever and buy the paint kids use on their face...........thats been my secret for 20 years

ASAT and Predator are insanely effective camo patterns with lots of light markings.

I would bet that something else was the culprit.

white masking tape and some sharpies  cheap and easy!  and not to heavy too!

I believe I used a rag and some WD-40.

Another vote for face paint, that's what I use.

I used to camo everything to the max. When I started making osage bows I hunted with a bright yellow one thinking "deer are going to pick this bow out from a mile away", they never saw it. I  stopped camoing my equipment a while back, my face several years ago and am thinking about doing away with the stuff altogether in the future.

I also hunt the spookiest deer on the planet here in Alabama.
