I made it the same colors as what's already in the woods.

And a deers eye view:

I see the one standing by the fencepost.Doesn't appear to be camo but blends in very well with the natural surrounding.Is there another one in the pic.

George,

Funny, I've never been a big fan of camo on my bow until I saw this video my friend shot of me today with my '59 Griz. I guess I will break down and slip the leggins on her limbs (sorry for the bad quality--camera phone was all we had)...

I was pretty surprised at the reflections!

I thought for sure I'd see a picture of custom made GoodWill sleeves for the limbs, George.

I feel like ya let me down a little. :p :D

I'm not sure, George. Okay, it does look pretty-well blended-in there, but what if the deer you're stalking ever feeds into a Cabela's store, and you have to sneak in after it? Your bow will stand-out like a sore thumb in that situation!

It's okay Ben, I have a blinking, "bargain cave" sign to stick on it in that case 8^).

CrookedStick, light colored limbs will show up quicker, especially when they are moving 8^). Mine are a flat black and absorb most of the light.

I've seen folks use camo tape on their limbs that was more reflective than the original bow limb. Make sure you get something that absorbs light.

Nice one George. Subtle but well conveyed message. Camo is for people.

Paint it plaid. Uber traditional.
