I always liked the fall camo pattern that Earl Hoyt put on his Hoyt and Sky bows. I decided to give it a shot. I used yellow, red, rust and brown. My daughter made me maple leaf stencils in 3 sizes and I layered the colors and leaves to give it kind of a 3-D appearance. To me, they look like the forest floor in the fall.

Thanks guys. Here it is all clear coated and put together. I'm very pleased. It even looks good in black & white.

CHIP that looks amazing. Nice job.
On a sunny day in the timber with all the patterns & shadows on the ground you will lose it & I will come tripping through the IDAHO woods and stumble on it.
Mine mine mine.

Thanks! I started with a matte, light yellow, then added matte red stripes randomly. My daughter used her craft Cricut machine to make me maple leaf stencils. I put a little double back tape on them to hold them in place and then randomly put them on the limbs in different directions and spacing.
I then painted the rust primer over everything and let it dry. I kept the stencils in place and put more stencils on, partially overlapping the existing stencils. I then sprayed some flat brown in places, which contrasted with the rust and the lighter colors. When I pulled all the stencils off, I got the layered look I wanted.
I sprayed a matte clear over everything and I'm very pleased with the results.

I sold the PSE limbs and whipped up another camo job to match the riser on a set of Uukha Ex1 Evo2's tonight. Fun stuff!

Take a bow, CHIP, you are the new resident CHIPelangelo of artistic bow design. YOu have this down to an ART FORM. Looks great.
Ha...not sure about that! Send me somethings to paint and I'll do it for you for NADA! Just pay the shipping!
Looks excellent and thanks for posting the step by step ! I’ve got a BB warf and some TT limbs that need this paint job.
This was so cool I copied it with standard camo colors. Thanks for the post and the great photos. My Warf is now complete!
