    I want to take some pics of my new bow. What is the best way to take pictures of a bow? Seems there was no easy place to put it to get a decent picture. Wasn't sure where to post this question. Thanks

    try laying it down on a white sheet and just start snapping pictures from different angles.

    Bows can be tricky. Their complex shape and fine lines can get lost in a busy background. Try and find a contrasting background. If your bow is all camo, either black or light colors might work. If it's black, lighter colors are best.

    I often will stand the bow up by attaching two arrows to the string and using them as kickstands to make a tripod with the lower cam or limb. this allows you to get different angles. Hanging it from a bow hanger works as well.

    Other than that, try getting different angles and focal points to make it interesting. I'm gonna do a full shoot once I'm completely done with my build but here are some shots I have that I like.

    It is really hard to see some bow picture because there are only several people playing it.Well it is good to see some pictures here they are impressive.
