Man don't sweat it. go to agri supply and get the od green and flat black spray cans.  just shoot it with one color and when dry, get a cluster of leaves off your favorite oak or maple tree. Hold it over the bow and spray with the other color. works good. Just did a widow ironwood today.

Yeah just hit it in random blotches with Krylon camo(green, brown, tan ect.) and then get your stencil rather it be natural leaves or something you made up with thick paper and hit it with flat black. Comes out real nice. Personally myself I'd do a ASAT type of pattern.

Those are some really nice looking camo jobs, but what about the stick on stuff (limbstations)you can apply from Onstringer?  You can always peel it off later when you want to change and etc..

I usually do something like this when I spray camo a bow down.

 

Also, tried a faux snake skin pattern with spray paint on a couple bows I used to own. Turned out pretty good.

Ron, I think if it Does NOT Void the Warranty, putting Paint on a Shrew SHOULD Void the Warranty, just out of Principle!!

There's a nice little stone farm house on the way up to my In laws farm. Somebody bought it about 6 or 7 years ago and not long after they painted that stone house and a couple small stone out buildings YELLOW! They look like big chunks of cheese..    :scared:  

Why anyone would do that to beautiful natural stone is beyond me...    :readit:
