Default RE: New camo on Bowtech? Mossy Oak Obsession?

I do not know if MOO (Mossy Oak Obsession ) will be available on the Bowtechs, but a few other manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon with this new color, just as some did last year with the then-new Realtree HD green.(if you want to see MOO on a bow, go to the PSE website)

The current fad seems to be going to camos with colors and patterns that appeal to the hunter/archer, NOT what works the best in each given application. If you took MOO or RTHDG (real tree HD green) and slapped it into a October/November Oak ridge that is all tan and grey, it would stick out like a sore thumb![] But they are cool new designs, so people flock to them. Lots of green in todays designs too, and personally I think that is because we are bored and wanted to see some color on our drab tan/grey/black hunting patterns. Trebark, MO, and Realtree never had any of that and I killed many animals while wearing each of them, LOL. I think it is simply more marketing nowadays than anything else. It' s all about scent control and movement, not what you wear.

Honestly, I' d like to see Predator or ASAT on a hunting bow. It would be butt ugly, yes, but it sure would disappear in most all climates, and isn' t that what we want when hunting?

We can " look cool" on the 3D range with a target color bow if need be, but when I' m hunting I want a bow that will disappear.

We need a " chameleon" (sp?) pattern that will change to match whatever woods you are sitting in..There you go " lab coat guys" !! [&:]

Sorry if this got off track, but this has been bugging me for a couple of years now and it was a good time to throw out my thoughts on it. JMHO, Pinwheel 12
