I haven't used it, but a bud of mine has. He didn't say anything about loosing any performance, but I think it was a bit of a pain getting all the glue off when he removed the tape. Another option would be "Limbskins"--they are like a nylon stocking for the limbs, easy to put on and take off, and come in a few different patters--camo, tiger stripe, and snakeskin if memory serves me right. Joe Stark at Lone Wolf Traditional Archery has the snow camo and snakeskin patterns listed in his catalog for $13.25 (2002 catalog).
