Predator Camo Dip by BigJim - Chastain

Today I received my Chastain Wapiti back from Big Jim's Dipping operation. This is Predator Fall Brown Deception.
After dipping the bow is smoother, faster, more quiet, and Left-handed -- kidding of course but I do like the look!
I also had a Bear B Mag riser dipped in the same pattern.

Thanks Felix.
Here's what I started with. Of course none of the critters I encounter will be any more or less fooled by the two different looks but the Predator patterns are my favorite.

Yes Roy,now I remember that Desert camo,for sure the camo dip are much more dull and less reflective than our fancy woods risers and limbs.In any case I think your is anice addiction to your groving bow arsenal.

That looks amazing! Much better then the laminated wood on the before photos IMO.
I also had a Bob Lee dipped by Jim which was also a plain Jayne laminated wood.

Roy
Very nice camo.
If I was in market for a camo dip, I now know exactly where to go. Not suprising to receive something from Big Jim that is less than spectacular.

That first pic really shows the effectiveness of that pattern. I have to really look hard to see the limbs and make out the shape of a bow. Very nice!!

Very nice looking dip job on the bow. I might loose it if I laid it down in the woods.
Quieter? Why do you think?
PS: That is one dead turkey! Good shooting.

John,
I was just kidding about the list of attributes beyond the appearance. I guess Big Jim rubbed off on me. He told me he could "sight the bow in for me" before he sent it back. I thought that was hilarious!
This is the quietest bow I own though, with or without the camo of course. This bow is so easy to draw I had to measure the draw weight again tonight. Because of the limb tips the bow just feels different than my other bows.
I like the Predator camo. However, I'll have to say I'm a tad worried that the pattern I picked might have a bit too much white or ivory in it. I'm hoping it doesn't "shine" in a turkey blind. I know it will blend nicely with the limbs of trees and the sky though if I deer hunt with it.

Any pics of the B riser? Limbs too by chance?
