Default Matching camo for accessories?

I'd like my sight, quiver, maybe rest and eventual stabilizer to match my bow but feel its not necessary. Bought a slightly used Octane 2 pc. quiver at a great price....but its black. Bought a new Sword Twilight Hunter sight cheaper than new....but its black. I have a Limbdriver rest coming tomorrow....but its black.

Got to thinking about it all. A new camo quiver only comes with the hood camoed, Swords factory camo would not have matched my RT AP Allegiance anyway. LD rest camo probably would not have matched. So I said to myself............should I leave the accessories black, send them in to be dipped, or buy the camo paints and do it myself?

To be honest I am really starting to like the all black quiver, but I am not bad with paint and some imagination. Anyway, here are a few pics of my '08 Alley as its developing. Keep in mind it currently has a prong rest and no stabilizer yet. LD will be put on when it arrives. Also, at the very least I'll be dulling the quiver hood flat black.......it shines too much as is.

Sword sight, so far I really like it. Not flashy but extremely well built. Bottom pic is Octane quiver gripper.

jjag-mag........I'm starting to lean that way. Sort of contrasts against the camo bow. But Octane's red quiver mounts? Must be a trademark thing:

This-

I buy and prefer black accessories

I don't like ALL camo, unless the cams, cable guard, etc are also dipped. I get laugh at the guys I see in the shops making a fashion statement by not buying a better quality accessory because it isn't camo or does not match the camo they wear.

I dont match all my accesories to my camo.....I have a black stabilizer and my sights are Dust Devil sights and with the camo on my sights I havent really seen a bow that matchs the Dust Devil Camo.....maybe I just don't get out much.

About the only matching acc I boughtwas the quiver, everything else has been black because they are so hard to match.

Looks good with them all in black to me!

X1....Greg, I just ordered my AM32 in all black because accesories are sometimes hard to get in the correct camo pattern. Besides that, I really like Mossy Oak and Hoyt camo is AP. I tell everyone I know, it is does not matter how big the deer, it only matters if you look good in the picture!

I actually like the black accessories on your bow.
Cool looking bow you have there.
