Vet Wrap The Limbs & All

Why ask instead of just doing it? Hard up for $4 for a roll of the stuff from Tractor Supply? Send me your paypal.
I think it will surprise you how sensitive bows are to added mass on the limbs. I played around with making a few red oak board bows and it would surprise me how different a bow felt after rasping off a very small amount of wood at the tips. I think you'd lose fps and the bow would feel "off" at the shot.
I think if you wanted to camo a bow you'd be fine rattle-canning it with that ultra-flat camo rustoleum paint

I don’t see how it would be any different than some of the recurve products out there. There’s more like this that I can’t seem to find rn. I’d say don’t wrap it 100 times and not tight so it allows the bow to do its thing without any change in the reaction of the limbs and vibration. I’m not bow expert though. Just my couple quarters.

Wait. You're going to wrap your entire bow in vet wrap to ensure it's not shiny and then hang it in the same tree where you sit in your bright blue dashiki?
While hunting with a recurve to challenge himself, out of a saddle to make it easier on himself.
He's quite the walking, talking parqdox.
Dude I love the idea! Just trying to figure where the give and take lines are drawn.
Everyone knows I battled the UV gremlin for a while. I eventually won but... then I picked up a stickbow.
Well it’s more for the protecting than anything. It took a beating this past weekend me knocking about then woods for 15 hours. The flat look is secondary. I bought a roll of vet tape yesterday to to wrap my one stick.
I do everything and anything I want because it’s fun to me. I don’t have to, nor could I, explain that to anyone, especially a trophy hunter like yourself. @Nutterbuster
What about a roll of lamination paper? You could cut a strip for the front and back of each limb and have a bit of protection without really adding anything.
I don't even know if they make lamination paper in a roll by the way

Yep. Duct tape fixes everything! And much easier to come by than a roll of lamination paper.
Looks ehh, I’m not sure yet. Feels like vet tape! Shoots so very silent. Pretty cool! I might have to find some blue vet tape to match my dashiki.
