Unless my bow has neon colors it will blend in. Movement will get you noticed every time.

It's your bow so do what you want.

I've done it before. If I do it again it won't be camo this time just a solid color. Thinking olive or gray. I get bored in the summer.

I've never hesitated to paint a bow if the mood struck me. The stuff will come off after all.

Mostly it just makes me feel like I'm getting ready.

With two boys under 3 years old (Schafer and Archer) I'm just ready to hit the woods hard again.  The last three seasons my tree time has been greatly reduced, and I wouldn't change that for anything.  I don't care if my bow was painted pink, I just want to get out there!  Best of luck fellas!

My bow is just gray Dymondwood with black glass. You see very little of the riser since it's a small riser plus it has a shur grip on it.

My current go to bow is not painted, but most of my others are.  I don't hesitate if the mood strikes me.  Go simple. it works well.

I have no need to paint my bows, my gloss bows are for 3d and the satins for 3d/hunting. The other reason is if i paint my bow camo and set it down i will most likely lose it in the woods lol. I have seen a few bows that guys painted and the detail they put into it is amazing and looked really good.

I chose the woods that went into my bows on purpose and I guess I am vain but the idea of spray painting a bow gives me gas. And even if it didn't I can't imagine any reason to paint one.

I have sprayed many of the bows I made for myself, but none of the few vintage bows on the rack.  It's kinda fun to do.  Nothing artsy about them but usually in three colors.

Generally I use a matte finish or very fine steel wool to flatten any glossy surfaces-no neon fletches either. Movement and reflection are very noticeable.

Iv'e used limb covers for years, and love them. They cover the entire bow which really protects it when going in and out. I just expose part of the riser, and good to go.
Never measure the mountain until you have reached the top, then you will see how low it is.

You can spray black plasti dip on your bow and just rub it off when you want it gone. A light dusting will knock off any glare and it dries to a dull finish. When you're ready just rub it off with your hand. Done it many times!!!

I have done it before.  It turned out awesome.  Now if I could just shoot the thing worth a darn I would hunt with it!
