There seems to be quite a bit of color variation in the pattern as well; mine is almost solid black in a lot of places (which worked out well because I put all-black accessories on the bow. First time I've ever done that, but it looks sharp!).

I picked up a couple Black Ices in the Cabelas store in Kansas City this past week, and they had TONS of green in them, and even the sideplates on the grip were comprised of laminations of green... They were truly beautiful bows.

I shot it about fifty times today and got the strings pretty well shot in... Started having to shoot at different spots after I got 'er dialed in. Stripped two feathers off right away by grouping so close... that reminds me; I need to refletch those tonight so I'll have some ready to go for tomorrow's hunt.
