I've wanted to paint a bow or set of limbs for a long time. Finally decided to give it try on the black max limbs I have for my Morrison ilf. I wanted to mimic some of the patterns that you used to see on some of the wheel bows in the late 80s early 90s. I always thought the leaf silhouette patterns on those old bows were cool. Probly the nostalgia of seeing them growing up in the 90s. I made some leaf stencils in the art studio at school. One of the perks of being an Art teacher. I think it came out pretty good.

Thanks for the kind replies fellas.
Been thinking about painting my Samick Sage limbs some camo pattern. Im partial to the mesh pattern camo, like you get by using a mesh laundry bag. Kinda looks like scales. Heres an example, sorry ciuldnt find a bow with this pattern, but its just for an idea:
