If you would like to dress your bow in camo dip finish. Look at our at in the Sponors Classified Section. Fast turnaround!

Thats pretty nice JC, but I would lose it in about 10 minutes.  I think I'll get one done though.

I have a older Browning Wasp that I purchased in the classifieds that had been Camo dipped by Sipsey river----it is BEAUTIFUL!! I bought it as a lighter weight shooter for my lazy days and late winter shooting---I definitely don't want to set it down and look away for too long!   :)   Might never find it again!

Would definitely recommend this workmanship to anyone who may be thinking about it!   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

Get ready, a Bear Montana is coming your way, if it isn't there already.

I have a 17 year old Allegheny Mountain Recurve that will be on its way for a "face lift" very soon.  This looks like an inexpensive way to get a new toy!

I just sent in my second order for camo dipping. This time, I'm having a set of Winex limbs dipped in the Predator Green pattern. The above pic confirms that I made the right choice. Lonnie does a great job with the dipping and finishing work.

I had the one above dipped because I chose an all phenolic riser from Bob...and the phenolic is not quite black, not quite green. I thought it was ugly but Bob came up with the dipping idea. Low and behold, it sure came out grand!

C'mon George, you can look at it, it's really pretty in it's own way. Who knows, you may find yourself shooting a camo dipped, carbon/foam limbed, phenolic ILF risered, R/D longbow before you know it! Hey, can you recommend some woodies to shoot outta this thing? I thought I'd surprise you and kill something without using a carbon shaft  ;)

It is clear coated with Krystal, a high solids conversion varnish. Tougher than most factory bow finish.
Title: Re: Camo dipping
Post by: indianalongbowshooter on April 06, 2009, 06:15:00 AM
Does this finish make the grip of the bow very slippery when it gets wet, more so then the original finish?
Title: Re: Camo dipping
Post by: Blackhawk7204 on April 06, 2009, 07:08:00 AM
The final coat is misted on for a non reflective and slightly textured finish. It is not as slippery as the original finish.

Bows really do look nice. I saw on the Bear LB the details were written back on in black. Just curious if an "old" Bear was dipped how the "value" would be impacted if at all? Still thinking about it...
Title: Re: Camo dipping
Post by: Blackhawk7204 on April 07, 2009, 03:23:00 PM
As far as collector value it would hurt, just as having it refinished would. Making an old ugly but good shooting bow into a stealthy hunting weapon it would increase its value. You can even fill in any holes or large dents with epoxy or bondo or wood filler and have a nice bow. I've even seen metal risers with the holes filled in and a radiused shelf made from epoxy. After the dip looks like it was designed that way.

Lonnie did my Bob Lee about a year ago. The finish is still prefect.
