Title: Camoflauge Quinn Stallion
Post by: pseman on February 18, 2008, 12:20:00 PM
Well, since hunting season is over, I've started getting things ready for next hunting season  :D  .
I bought this Quinn last fall and LOVE the way it shoots but thought it might look a little more suited for the woods with a good coat of camo.

I patterned the camo after the Predator camo that I've seen some fellas on here wearing. I don't know if it came out exactly like the Predator or not, but either way I kinda like it.

Awesome look!  Can you give us any details on how you did it.  I've thought about trying something like that on my Quinn, but not sure I have the skills to make it work.

ISP, the base coats are just the standard camo Krylon spray paint from Lowe's. For the detail(sticks and brush) I used an airbrush and cut some stencils out of poster paper. Once you get a few stencils, then you just add based on your imagination.

Most important, I put 4-5 light coats of clear acrylic(Krylon also) on top of it all. This protects it from scratches and wear.

Nice work Mark.I did mine in OD and flat black, modeling it after the old Bear compound pattern. It looks good, but I really like the detail you put into yours...  :thumbsup:

CJ, my first bow(Bear whitetail hunter) had that same camo pattern as yours. Looks like you had quite a day in the carp!
