Feathers can be gotten with a "camo" pattern (nothing specific, just mottled and broken up) and bolts can be fletched in them, but generaly no. Most every vane manufacturer tries to make bright colors so you can find the arrow after it flies and if you keep in the reds or greens generaly deer cant see them anyway....

If you just gotta have camo vanes... and I guess there are those that do.... Get a few permanent magic markers in whatever colors you choose and express your creativity.

Yes, Bohning does make their vanes (standard and Blazer) in RealTree Camo....so YES, crossbow bolts CAN come with camo vanes....

I used to use alot of barred feathers, especially with my recurve arrows but like was mentioned, they are usually pretty hard to find after a shot, especially if your luck is like mine and the arrow hits the ground running... they'renice looking on the arrow though

I've been sticking mainly to yellow and/or white lately(yellow mostly), they're not out of place colorwise in the woods and are easy to see on/in the ground

Here are some 2" and 4". The 4" are done in Real-tree Hardwoods, my favorite of camo! The Blazers look to be the same pattern, and indubitably the ones that will be at the other end of my broadheads this year with the birds.
