a new looking old bow (lots of pics)

[IAOUTDOORSMAN]

O.K. heres the deal.  I too had some reservations about dipping this bow.  I have always wanted a green glass bear bow.  I was so happy when I saw the green under the paint.  However,  the pics posted of the bow are not of its worst looking parts.  The camera also helped to hide lots of dings and scratches.  There were stress cracks on the back and belly side of each fade, several dings and scratches all the way up the limbs.  I thought about contacting somebody to have the bow refinished.  On the other hand I have always wanted a camo bow as well.  As asked above I figured the dipping process would also help to preserve the bow.  Seeing as I got the bow for FREE I decided it would be the time to spend the money on the camp dipping.  Now I have a cheap good looking camo bow as to one I would have had to purchase and then pay to dip.  I guess I'm trying to say it was a coin toss for me and camo won.

Only have one problem with it....

If I set it down in the woods, I would never find it again. Would have to put one of those locater beakons on her!

I have a beater (all ash) that I was considering having dipped. After seeing how your bow turned out, I can see it happening now. As long as I don't looe it....

I don't want to hijack this thread so, could somebody please PM me an answer to my question? If no one knows that's fine.

Always wondered on those camo jobs, nice.

Wannabe - it couldn't hurt.  It wouldn't prevent anything serious, but it would act as a backing.

I have a kodiak hunter that has seen some better days and im going to have it done just like yours. I own 5 others that dont have a scratch on them so dipping one is no big deal.

Your bow looks great and if you like it i wouldnt give a rats ass if someone else doesnt like it.
