I wanted to camo dip this, but it was just not within my budget.

 

I have exactly $21.39 in materials in this camo job including tax, and a total of less than 3 actual man hours in it. 4 different colors of satin paint, a roll of 1" painters tape, a razor knife, and some imagination.

 

I originally wanted a lighter patterned camo so it would blend nicely against a broken skyline.

 

 

Is a camo dipped bow nicer?....you bet!!!

But this was cheap, quick, easy, and effective. It won't win any beauty pageants by a long shot, but my guess is, it'll kill some game.

Trust me, I would much rather have had one of the fine sponsors here dip this bow for me, and in the future I most likely will. I just wanted to see what I could do on my budget.

Great job and you did it yourself,that in its self means a lot,congrats.  

I think yours is 100 times better than a camo dip job. Anyone can send a bow in with some cash and get it done. You can say "I did that!!!"

I really like it! Good job!!

Sometimes yea gota do what yea gota do..nice job  

Great job!

Thanks for sharing.

God bless,Mudd

Great job. Being on Social Security and only working part time, it sure gives me some ideas. Thanks.  

r u kidding me that is awesome!!! anytime you can create a work of art yes art! that my friend is a one of a kind no one else on the planet has that bow! dont you dare dip it.

That looks sweet. Great job.

That is absolutely beautiful!!!!!  I just love camo bows, especially Bear TDs!  Now you don't have to worry about scratching her up.  That is a very nice camo job and should blend in with just about any surrounding!

Great job!  I like it.  As a matter of fact, I am in the same boat and recently got the paint to do a camo job on one of my bows. Hope to get to the painting soon.  Thanks for the inspiration.

I like your imagination,well done!!

Best that money can buy...looks great...well done...

Very cool.

I'm looking to do something similar with my daughters bow.
Can you share any preparation for paint tips?
Did you lightly sand the bow first, undercoat etc?
Also how does this standard paint stand upto the working action of the limbs?

Cheers,
Andy

Nice Job!  If you do another one, a picture laden how to series of photos to show the process would be very welcome by many!

Nice job and you did it yourself. That adds to the satisfaction of traditional archery. Blends well and definitely cost effective!

looks sure good to me! If you can do it youreself and save some $, i vote for it!

I actually have it....just did not post it all because it is a lot and I didn't want to bore anyone.

I can easily post it if you guys want me to.

Love it and yes sir, post away on the how to. I'm considering doing one and would love to see your steps.

That looks great !!! Reminds me of "the good ole days" when as soon as you got another bow you got that flat bowflage or camoflage paint an went to it,but they never looked that nice or I may have never changed... GOOD JOB...

Very nice job.
