Gloss or dull finish

[Geo S]

I prefer dull/matte.

Hey Bowwild, get it in satin and hunt with it.  Once you've killed enough critters with it you can retire it and dress it up fancy.

Matte for hunting but gloss sure looks good don't it boys

[Hoyt]

It really doesn't matter to me. If it's gloss I'll paint or put a skin over it to make dull.

Most my bows are Matte or satin.I do have a few that are high gloss though that I would have no other way.These particular bows would just not look as good with satin or Matte IMO.It really sets em off as showpeieces.

I would use spandex limb skins to hunt with them with no problems.I even use the limbskins on bows with a matte finish anyway to protect them from dings and scratches.

For those who have not yet posted, the question is: if you were going to buy a new bow, would you buy a gloss or a dull finish?

reflection in most light actually hides the beauty of the wood under high gloss finishes. i really don't care for it.

[David Mitchell]

Flat as can be.

[Blackstick]

If I order a new bow, it will be dull and not reflective of light.

[Archer Fanatic]

I like a satin finish.

[LimbLover]

Dull matte! I can't have my bows glowing in the woods.

[Bjorn]

Always a dull finish for me, they are hunting tools.

[BRITTMAN]

Dull matte for me also

[Cherokee Scout]

Thanks for the responses, looks like it is overwhelming, people will buy matt/satin finish bows most of the time.

Folks like different things.

It would be an awfully dull, boring world if we  
all liked the same things, and everyone looked and acted alike.

Choices are a good thing.
