Title: Camo Dipped Sky TDX 15".
Post by: Wannabe1 on January 29, 2015, 02:10:00 PM
Well, I got this riser a while back, finish was wearing off so, I repainted it. Didn't like my paint job and just decided to have it camo dipped. I sent it to NW Hydroprint up in Washington since they were fairly close and this was the outcome. Fantastic folks and a really super job! It is NW Green Leaf camo.

Thanks Allen. This is not going to be a hunting bow. Probably going to put it in a drawer and sit on it for a while. My limbs for the Dalaa should be here today and that is what I will be setting up for this year.

Ah......your getting sneaky now......putting risers in drawers around the house. You'll need big drawers for the extra limbs TW......   :thumbsup:

looks good ! Thanks for posting, I have seen their ad in the WA game regs and looked at their web site and was always interested to hear from someone who had used them.

It's a great way to spruce up an old tattered bow also ... a few years back I had a Cascade Nighthawk Magnum that had seen a great deal of time in the hunting woods and was cosmetically not too pretty, I cleaned it up real good and sent it to a camo dipper that was popular on this site at the time ( business since sold )They dipped it in Predator grey camo, riser and limbs, and it turned out really cool.

This is what it looked like when I got it.

Ken, Mike at NW Hydroprint was absolutely great to work with. Turnaround was only 2wks from the time I sent it in.

That's a really nice riser.  I had one and I regret selling it every day.  Had some Samick BF shorts on it and at 40lbs it shot way faster than my current bows at 50lbs.  Tuned up easily with 500's/125's and the thick felt furniture pads.  

I mainly regret selling it because my wife loved it.  She shot it very well.

Thanks everyone! Seems a shame to put it in a drawer but, I'm wanting to get my Dalaa riser setup and this may pay for a set of Dalaa recurve limbs for it also?!    :rolleyes:    

Not sure what I'm going to do yet.

Well, it seems I just gotta tinker so, I put some TT Carbon/Wood long limbs on it. Set it up to shoot off the shelf with a shorty plunger and dug up a string. This could be dangerous!   :D

Yeah, I'm not sure how you just put it in a drawer!  It'd get lonely for sure.  I think it'd be ok if you had two hunting/fun bows for the year.

That looks nice,i've always liked that look.

Varmint101, I am really struggling with not shooting it because not sure if I'm going to keep it or not! Really wanting to set up the Dalaa and make it my keeper and need limbs for it. Oh the decisions, decisions!   :banghead:

Post by: varmint101 on January 30, 2015, 09:37:00 PM
I know it'd cost more money, but you can get a DAS bushing for those limbs or get ILF pads for the DAS so you can swap them between the two.  Lotta options with those bows!

Post by: Wannabe1 on January 30, 2015, 09:45:00 PM
That is very true! I am really loving the feel of the Dalaa and the extra weight balances great in my hand. I'm exploring option as we speak.

You can never have to many bows

Post by: Wannabe1 on January 30, 2015, 10:25:00 PM
I used to think that too Chris and have went through a lot of bows! High end to low end and now, I'm just ready to settle on one to handle everything. I think the Dalaa might be what I'm looking for. We'll just have to see.
