How have you tricked out your bow?
« on: February 26, 2014, 12:26:00 PM »
What types of accouterments, add ons, modifications, or other things have you done to your bow? Or any cool gear associated. I am in the mood to go crazy on one I just got.

Nothing says it like pictures  ;)

The only thing the 3 bows I use to hunt with get is a Kwik-Lok arrow holder. Outside of that nothing.

I put a leather tip protector on the bottom tip of my new Morninstar, added a few drops of bunny blood and bought a leather bow sock.  I am just waiting now get way fancy and put some turkey blood on it.

I put a Tight Spot quiver, amo bushings, and sometimes a sight on my A&H. I also made a modification and drilled a hole in the shelf to use homemade replaceable brush rests like you would find on a Lone Wolf bow.

Actually i haven't done too much to my hunting bow except quiver bushings, and arrow holder, and a stabilized bushing i can screw in a Hog Light to my bow for nocturnal adventures...

But i've done a few things to other guys bows....

How about a caped buffalo carving? or a Black Mamba?  Does that count?

Rubber grip and Kwik Loc on each of my bows. I have a cheap longbow I put camo tape on.

I have a Kwik-Loc arrow holder on mine, a Kanati Pro quiver, a pink and black semi-skinny D10 string, and my own homemade wool silencers installed.

Would love to have copperhead or diamondback skins on the back and maybe a checkered grip.

Predator Hunter: 1/2 of a rubber tip protector - just over the very top, bear weather rest- fuzzy Velcro on the shelf, old school WWII camo bow socks(homemade), Fred Bear quiver , tape on rubber arrow holder from the 70s .

Bow looks very G Fred old school. My concept of Trad goes back to the mid 70s. This bow looks like the first recurve I srtarted with back in '75. Compounds came in to fashion shortly after.

I have a 1965 Collector grade Bear Polar...I tricked mine out by adding (13) .45cal lead balls suspended in silicone behind the sight window cover plate....I'll be shooting it at the TBOF 2014 State Championship this weekend...

Everything I do is reversible. Cut bases off deer antlers[small] and put miniature stone arrowheads in epoxy on top. Attatch with sticky Velcro. Hangs on well but can be removed without marring the finish. Also cut and buff a small piece of exotic wood-carve the bows name into the wood , then Velcro.

Black Widow PSAV- Olneya tesota
and so on. "Make it yours" Roy
