I use the camo duct tape. The main purpose is to protect the limbs, not for camoflage as I think Aaron is looking at. The camo duct tape, unlike the cloth tape, is waterproof and leaves no residue when removed.

I had a set of the stretchy limb covers in snakeskin print for my longbow. I gave them to a buddy, they just looked too much like Rod Stewart's pants.

Now I use string wax on the limbs to knock the reflection down. Don't buff it in, just glob it on and smear it with your thumb. Rub it in with a cloth after the season.

String wax is such wonderful stuff. It has a zillion uses for the traditional archer.

I second the Limb-Skins, easy on easy off, protect limbs, and dont effect preformance.  What more could you ask for??   :thumbsup:

I used to paint mine years ago. Have not done it in years though, and have never had an issue. Like someone above said though, if it has a high gloss finish I would probably put something on it.
