Lots of fun to be had with this. I just need to know what strength peroxide and where to get it.

Digital Caveman:
I wonder what kind of epoxy did they infuse the wood with?  Selfbows are a lot thicker than 1 mm, but you could probably make a clear glass backing out of hickory >:D

TimBo:
Now you just need to locate some elusive clarified calfskin for backing, and the bow will be invisible!  Just don't set it down in the woods...

WhistlingBadger:
It would be fun taking an invisible bow to a shoot...everybody would think you were just flicking arrows off your finger.  "How the heck is he doing that???  :o"

Stay tuned for the new line of invisible hunting clothing.  We'll call it "The Emperor's New Camo."

Nice! And if you can't see the camo, then you are unfit as an archer!
