Default Snow camo for bow

Since we have so much snow on the ground now, I've been thinking that it would be wise to wrap my bow in white to help conceal it better. I see Hunter Specialties has some white tape to wrap the limbs and risers. I don't think I want something permanent, and definitely don't want something that will take the current paint off. Just something to break up the standard, darker camo for late season. Anyone done anything like this?

What you can do is get some cheap white sheets, have the little lady sew them together, make sure they are big enough to slip over the cams then you can slip them over the limbs then you can use a good sized rubber band at each end of the limbs to secure the limb covers to the limbs. Just something i quickly came up with.

Sheets and velcro You don't need to cover everything, just some of the riser and a part of the limbs to break up the blob. But really, if you're in a tree it doesn't matter.

Just make sure those sheets are not glowing with white dye containg UV enhancers.

I had thought about using white sheets. Figured I'd just have to make sure they stay tight and away from any moving parts. David you are right about not needing everything covered, just enough to break up the outline. In a tree I don't worry about it too much, but I spent much of the late season hunting from the ground...many times using snow drifts as natural blinds.

I love to hunt from the ground in snow. Snow camo is the best camo ever made. You just disappear. I've had some amazing encounters in snow. Heck, some cheap white tape would work. You could replace every time and if you buy the right stuff it won't damage your bow.
