It probably does not really matter much what camo pattern you choose. Many people on the various bowhunting forums prefer Predator or ASAT. Personnaly, I think that the 2 big name brands make you look like a big blob & don' t really do anything to break up your outline. I bought the Predator brand this past season and like it. Controlling your scent will be more of a concern while bowhunting since you want to get up close and personal with your quarry.

As far as the bow goes, opinions vary and are easily obtained around forums. The best advise is to try many different ones. I don' t think that you could go wrong with any of the " top" brands...Hoyt, Mathews, BowTech, PSE etc. A reputable pro shop is worth its weight in gold when it comes to shopping, setup etc.

Personally, I just traded my Mathews Q2 in for a 2003 Hoyt RazorTec. Of the 4 bows I' ve owned, it is by far the best!!!
