Spraying question for bowers

Hi guys,
Just wondering how you guys secure your bows to spray?

This is the first one I have sprayed and it's come up good except the wire that I hung it with has left an indent around the nock groove and on the belly fiberglass.

Thanks

I don't do glass bows, but how about fishing line instead of wire?

I have never done anything like this but what if you hung it from 1 end sprayed 90%of the bow let it dry then hung it from the other end and did the last bit ?

Hi Tyler, This is what I do. Bend up a bit of stiff wire so you get a wedge fit on your tips so the wire pinches the tip and only touches it at two small points on either side and move it to a slightly different position for each coat and move it to where the string will sit for the last coat.

Here's a picture.

Thanks for the replys.


I don't have enought hight in the booth to have 68" vertical. That is the way I was originally thinking of doing it.


Thanks Rob, that is exactly what I was after. Will make a couple of those up for the next one.

Thanks
Tyler
