I like to use camo tape because sooner or later you will regret your camo job. I just peel it off and thank myself for not painting it!

Roger, have you thought of the Limb Sensations from ONe Stringer?

They have a nice variety and can be peeled off.

Unless you want the riser painted as well...

I knew the firestorm I was stirring up when I posted this. My dear friend and mentor Ron LaClair HATES a painted bow. i PROMISE you if i painted a Shrew, it would be banned from the annual Shre Haven buck pole photo.

Don't worry Ron, I will most likely use tape...

Roger,

You are a guy who doesn't mind poking at a hornets nest to see if there's any in there!  :help:    ;)  

Here's what I did with my older version Super Shrew Samurai before Greg Coffey started making them and he was using more of a matte finish than what John was using:

This is a picture of my bear taken with the Samurai using limb skins from Kustom King Archery. They work great and are easy to slide on and off.

I don't remember any chasing, but I do remember some growls and a large hand reaching for a Shrew Skinner knife. I think I remember something similar when my little brother tried taking a ham bone away from the German Shepard years ago. Perhaps that's why the big fella is adding big knives to his collection.  :scared:  

You get the limb covers and I'll make extra pie and we'll all keep our fingers in tact.

Roger,

In Jedimaster's post, the second thread he linked was a bow I did and I was really happy with the way it turned out.

Another option for you is to use a removable paint that I believe is put out by Hunter's Specialties. It comes as a kit of 3 or 4 different colors with a can of paint remover. I have bought it at Dick's Sporting Goods and also Scheels. They do make the kits in removable paint and permanent paint, so be sure to read the box.

Now you guys are causing me to want to paint my old Browning Wasp I use for bowfishing and backup. I would really love it if I could paint it in an authentic looking ASAT camo. Or, better yet, have it dipped.
