DIY longbow camo

[TxAg]

Well, I finished a day early...just impatient I guess.

I bought a used Whip and decided I didn't care for the veneers so, since I'm impatient and cheap, I thought I'd try my hand at homemade camo. Guys do shotguns and ARs all the time, so why not a longbow.

Actually doesn't look that bad.

Cool. I've used paint on bows before. Looks good.

Looks good

[Bisch]

It was better before! I could not even see the bow in the thread the other day. Now I can see it!

Good job, Jeff!

Great looking work! Dad's friend did my brothers and his synthetic rifle stocks a few years ago, but that's the first time I've seen a bow

[Bowtech1233]

Looks good!

[Caddo]

Looks Good! I couldn't do that though, I'd lay it down somewhere and never find it again!

Can't do snakeskin backings either, can't have my own bow scaring the heck out of me everytime I lay it down!

That's why I didn't opt for snakeskins either

Funny. (Also, your paint work beats the camo tape I put on mine.)

X2 on this! That looks great!

When I first started shooting compounds way back when none came in Camo. We would do it ourselves.

When we started shooting recurves they were so pretty we did not have the heart to paint them.

You did a nice job.

That is a bold project Jeff. Couldn't have done it -- but if I could've done it, I'd hope it turned out that good! The Rustoleum Matte Clear Paint looks interesting. I wonder how that would hold up on a recurve that I'd like to put a clear matte finish on?

You should just send the next whip with questionable veneers on to me!

Where is the bow?
