Color of the back of your hunting bow???
« on: June 12, 2010, 10:15:00 PM »
I hunt with the natural wood on the back of my bow showing! I also try to buy my bows for hunting with a natural medium color on the back.
I notice that lots of bows are made with light colors on the back and are quiet breatiful.
When game is only a few yards away I need all the help I can get. I have always thought that brown glass might be better than black glass for hunting? Here are some pictures of my Morrision Dakota(stained dark), and my Massie Longhorn(Black Locus)meduim color.

I like a little natural camo on my bow limbs.  Not sure if it is super important but it can't hurt.  Here they are:

Mark,I really like your veneers,expecially the first one.
I like bocote on the back because I think it naturally blends with the sorrounds.

Hunted with a camo dipped bow last year and will be using black limbs on a grey and black riser this year.
