I use the camo duct tape. The main purpose is to protect the limbs, not for camoflage as I think Aaron is looking at. The camo duct tape, unlike the cloth tape, is waterproof and leaves no residue when removed.

I had a set of the stretchy limb covers in snakeskin print for my longbow. I gave them to a buddy, they just looked too much like Rod Stewart's pants.

Now I use string wax on the limbs to knock the reflection down. Don't buff it in, just glob it on and smear it with your thumb. Rub it in with a cloth after the season.

String wax is such wonderful stuff. It has a zillion uses for the traditional archer.

I second the Limb-Skins, easy on easy off, protect limbs, and dont effect preformance.  What more could you ask for??

And mess up those perfect looking yew veneers that Wes used under the glass on my Mentor????...no thanks...but a good friend uses a couple of his grandson's brown and green crayolas to good effect..

I used to paint mine years ago. Have not done it in years though, and have never had an issue. Like someone above said though, if it has a high gloss finish I would probably put something on it.
