For you ground-pounders anybody camo their bow when hunting from a natural blind or using a ghillie?Some finishes are shiny.Was wondering if that shine would affect game.If so what do you use to camo the limbs?

I use snake skins because that is about as camo as you can get if they dont have a shiny finish.In the old days we used those camo sleaves on our bows and i thought they always worked well.Been thinking about sewing some up for my vintage bows that i dont want to alter.When i used to use them i never noticed any affect on my bow performance.

Years ago I'd camo my bows. Painted them with flat colors. For quite some time I've been dulling the shine with steel wool or very fine sand paper. Seems to work just fine.

Buy a black creek bow. It has the nicest matte finish I have seen on a custom bow - no shine.

I never really worried about it... I've killed deer.

Personaly, I think scent will spook deer before shine ever does.

Actualy, I don't wear any camo either.....
I only shoot WOOD arrows... My kid makes them, fast as I can break them!

There is a fine line between Hunting, & Sitting there looking Stupid...

I like glossy bows, so when hunting I'll use camo limb covers from 3 Rivers.

A quick spray with satin poly willcut the shine.

Steve Turay finished this green glass absolutely flat for me. I thought I might spray a bit of tan or black on it, but it blends with vegetation fine as is.

Stalker Stickbows are finished in a textured epoxy and do not reflect any light. Mine also has quarter sawn actionwood laminations that make for camo!

Back in the early days of modern archery some used to smudge chalk on the limbs .

I have used camo paint, tape, and fabric sleeves as well as shooting glossy finish. I have found that lack of movement is the most significant factor in being unseen.

I had my Fedora finished in Charcoal. Bamboo limbs stained to match riser. My Groves, I just spray painted the limbs.

You can rub some wax on the limbs during hunting season to cut the gloss than in the off season buff it off.
