I just sent my riser off to be dipped in predator brown. It has only been a few days but I can not wait to get it back. Please show me some pics of bows you have had done. Also if you have had one done please give me some feedback. Thanks..Henry

No pics because it is being worked on now, but mine is at the guys with Precision Hydrographics (sponser here) now. I was told by the weekend it should be dipped. I am really looking forward to seeing it. I chose their "Oak leaf" pattern.

I have one that is camo dipped by Sipsey River.  I got it dipped because it has white glass limbs.  I have had it back for a couple of months and haven't managed to scratch or scrape it yet.  It has a slightly rough texture that keeps the bow from sliding around in a sweaty hand.  The matte finish also does not reflect or shine.  So far, the finish has stood up to 98 degree temps and the texture didn't change.  I think it is a very good process and worth doing.  I can highly reccomend it.  Bill

had a "71 kod hunter that had a blemish on the upper limb from being stored with a spring arm quiver on it,(it would have been fine with just the quiver arm, but someone had put tape on the arm ,and that is what marked the bow limb)so I sent it to sipsey for the fall orange leaf or orange hard woods or whatever they call it, came back like a brand new bow, I love it, they did above and beyond what I ever excpected, you will fall in love all over again.
JESUS LOVES ME THIS I KNOW!!!!

To God be the glory, great things He has done!!!!!

I had my 17 year old Allegheny Mountain Recurve dipped by Lonnie at Precision Hydrographics about 3 months ago.  It's now Predator Green and looks great!  Sorry I don't have pictures. I even had an old Selway bolt-on quiver dipped in the same pattern.  The hood is rawhide and was faded badley.  Lonnie was hesitant to dip the hood, but I promised not to hold him accountable if the camo didn't adhere.  It came out great and looks great with the bow.
I agree that the protective finish they spray on feels great, even with sweaty hands.

I have an extra set of limbs that I will be sending to Lonnie for dipping very soon.  I'm thinking of having them dipped in Predator Brown.  Not sure how they will look with a Predator Green riser, but it could become a new trend  :)

Thanks for the input guy's. I was hoping that it would help with sweaty hands. I am just dipping the riser and leaving my limbs that I have because they have brown glass on them. I think it will look pretty good with the predator brown riser and brown limbs. I will post pics as soon as I get it back. Thanks again..Henry

Can someone post some pictures?

Here's some pics of an original Black Widow "Prototype" MAIV that was owned by Bill Bonner (their bowyer at the time) finished in Advantage Camo.  They ended up going with Mossy Oak Camo for their product line.

 

 

 

 

 

I took my first trad animal with it.  10 pt buck at 9 yards.
