Default Putting Camo On Vixen

I just bought my son a Vixen for christmas and I know that he will want to put some camo on it. Would it hurt to put some camo tape on the limbs? Any other suggestions.......Thanks Chris

I'd suggest getting it dipped rather than putting on tape, although dipping can be expensive:

There are other places I've read about online as well. Maybe someone here can recommend one that they've used before.

I did this with spray paint and tape. Some of it has worn off the forend now, but the limbs still look good.

Now I ahve to change directions and ask another question. On diggers bow the rope cocker is run under the scope and is just long enough to attache to the string. I did not have the privelege of directions with mine. I have been running it all the way back to the stock down to the string and still have some line left????????????

You just trim the excess off the end once you get it setup.
