I guessI dont quite understand where the 12 P&Ys play into all this but ok.
How many Big Deer have you shot in your lesser know brand? Since realtree issub standard, you should be well ahead of me in my realtree camo.

Check out what Chuck Adams has to say about this subject: http://www.bowsite.com/bowsite/features/interviews/chuckadams/windowsmedia/VQ2.wma
Keep in mind he has used Buffalo Plaid before as hiscamo too.

I've heard it said that most patterns are designed to look good at 16", the average arm length. I don't know if this is just cynisism or a true statement but it does seem to have a ring of truth to it.

Ghemry, your statement about 12 P&Y comes across as arrogant and assumes several things and leaves out several things. I would say the biggest factor in your success is where you hunt! You stand less a chance of shooting 1 P&Y if you're not in an area that has a good population of that size deer. I'm not detracting from your accomplishments but it's not the best benchmark for comparison of hunting skills and methods. Those same skills and methods (and camo) may not produce more than a few 125" class deer in another location with a lesser quality population.


Oh, and to veer back on topic. Here's what Chuck had to say about videos: http://www.bowsite.com/bowsite/features/interviews/chuckadams/windowsmedia/VQ4.wma
He echos my sentiment of hunting voyarism.
