Title: Painting my new bow
Post by: Go Blue on March 05, 2019, 09:59:34 AM: I will be purchasing a new bow this month. I would like to paint one limb blue and the other one yellow in honor of my favorite football team. My question is how much effect if any will it have on elk & deer seeing me when I hunt?

Thank guys

I agree.

Change your string colors not your limbs.

:yeah: Get a custom string or accessories, don't paint the bow.
