Plain jane for me...from now on. PIC

[Robert Honaker]

Just finished spraying my bow with flat black, brown and green paint.
I always do this to my go to hunting bows no matter what kinda wood they have.

 

Looks so much better...    

So from now on its plain jane for me since i cover'em up anyway  unless its a really good deal on a used one.

I've alwys thought it to be a shame to cover up beautiful craftmanship with paint, although I have been quilty of it in the past. Try some of the spandex limb covers instead of paint. They are cheap enough, can be used on any of your bows, and you can perserve the value and beauty of the bow. Just a thought.

I agree. I ordered mine through 3 rivers and are great

please don't tell me you painted over a schafer..              

that being said, if it's due to glare i understand. i usually try to have naturally colored woods incorporated into the bow and a nice flat finish.

I simply can't imagine doing such a thing to a beautiful bow.  But that's me, and it's not my bow. Make it look how you want.  But don't expect any offers coming from me if/when you post it in the classified  

[sawtoothscream]

i couldnt do it

[Swamp Yankee]

High gloss finish, maybe.  But I'll never understand the need to camo a wooden stick with a flat finish in the woods.  Kinda like trying to hide a buffalo in a buffalo herd.

[Robert Honaker]

md126...nope.  
That bedliner thing sounds interesting..
BTW...if its a bow i would sell then no  i wouldnt do it.

I just bought some Bob Lee limbs bright white.They were the wgt. I wanted and price so I bought them and painted  and clear coated them.Not too fancy but will hunt and not worry about them if they get scratched.Kip

[LONGSTYKES]

No way, I love the looks of my wood.

[wooddamon1]

Depends on the bow...

[sticksnstones]

You still got that one Mike? Last I heard, you thought it was ugly enough that you'd actually get to keep it. Honestly I wasn't sure if that was going to work out for you or not.

I had a 64" Schafer Silvertip takedown. I had it done up, checkered grip, hand carvings around the grip and around sight window, woods of riser were burled cocobolo with a highly grained snakewood flare. The limb veneers are from a very rare huge piece of amboyna burl. The veneers were not quite long enough so he did a 3/4 limb with the burl and incorporated a piece of reddish phase jungle carpet python into the lower part. The riser had a few polished laminates of the amboyna burl. It was crazy insane almost not real to look at. During a hard time, I had to sell it kinda cheap. The bow cost me over 3000 dollars, I had to dump it for 750.00. I needed the money. The guy I sold it to gave it to his "old school" Dad as a gift. He spray painted it camo flat black and olive green. It "stands" strung on its lower limb in his basement by the woodstove. Sad.

Naw, I'm lyin'.

[wooddamon1]

THAT was funny!

I remember that the late, great Jerry Pierce would spray paint his hunting bows - tools in the woods.
