What do I sand with?  Not against this idea if it will really dull it up.

you can get a can of valspar flat, works great! you can get it at lowes.
 its a clear flat finish. i use it on the bows i dont wanna camo, just wipe them off with a little lacher thinner to get any wax and oil off and hang and spray.

Yeah a Super K is too nice to spray. +1 for limbs kind or some other easily reversible method.  Also, don't ditch the pink/chart arrows, nice and easy to see if you lose em and deer can't see those colors anyway.

I've done a lot of camo paint jobs on different stuff and it works pretty decent. the key is using a lighter color green base coat, and a darker green too mixed with browns and flat black.  I dressed up my 3 wheeler this year right before elk season... I just used maple and black walnut leafs to do this one... i was still in progress on this and did get the shinny wheels and gear case tamed down.

Oh.... before i forget... if you are going to do this to a bow limb, the most important part is sealing your paint job when you are done with a spar varnish.... after clear coating you can rub it down with steel wool to knock the sheen off it.

Do not paint that bow. It is too nice. Skin the limbs with the stick on stuff that removes easily or get some limb skin socks. If you want it really camo get some leafy type flauge and put on it. I think rancho safari has some of it. I use their ghilla and love it. Killed all my deer with it on this year, bow had camo no mar type tape on the back of the limbs and thats it.

I would not steel wool it or spray it with satin poly either.

I assure you the critters are not looking at the bow when they see you.

Go to the 3rivers web site (top of page ) type in limb skin s in the search bar.  Go to the reviews there are some pictures posted on there you can click on and get a good look.
It will save you some work .

I'm not having issues getting busted, just don't like shiny bows.  I just want to dull the finish or camo it up.

Well, if you don't like shiny bows and want to cover it up, then do it. You can paint it, use limb skins, dip it, or dull it. All the options are out there. I'd be interested in seeing a pic of the results.

That's nice

I spray painted a bow for camo effect once, and it worked great. However, later on I wanted the bow back in its original coloration. Even though the paint was supposed to be easily removable with the company's remover, it simply did not work. I still don't have all the paint off that bow. Point is make very sure that you don't want to ever come back to the original finish before you undertake the camo project.

Thank you sir, jury is still out on what I'm going to do with my Super K.

I painted mine matte black this year. When it comes to hunting bows my thoughts are pure function. I have used the 3rivers camo bow socks and even though they are well made I just didnt care for them especially the fact that the soked up so much water when it rained. Lacquer thinner will pull that paint right off but there are varying opinions as to what it might do to the clear coat. I painted mine with Rustoleum camoflauge black and never looked back. This is the only pic I have of it right now but you can see how dull the paint is.
 

Hope this was of some use and remember it is your bow, your choice.
