I used to have some camo arrows, and i will never do that again. Not only were they harder to find if you missed and they were in the ground, but the finish on them made it a reall pain in the arse to pull out of targets. I guess the friction going into the target made it stick in it.

No. How many people have killed animals with white arrows and multicolored fletchings??? Unless you're shooting a turkey without being in a blind I don't think it would matter and if you can be in the open and get a draw off without a turkey seeing you I doubt that he would notice your arrow not being camo'd

I hunt from the ground and stalking is my perferd way to hunt so for me camo is a plus. So I would guess it would depend on how you choose to hunt whether camo is important or not.

The only reason I camoflage anything is so turkeys don't spot me while deer hunting. Nothing worse than a flock of turkeys spotting you and "putting" for a half hour. And I agree camo arrows do look cool.

I don't think camo anything is all that important to be honest. I think people have went waaaaaay overboard with it. Especially when hunting from a stand or blind.
Now hunting turkeys off the ground it becomes a bit more important, but I still know many that kill turkeys quite well with basic camo and blued guns with wood stocks.
I know a kid that killed a deer out of a stand with a target bow, easton jazz arrows (purple and white target arrows) wearing jeans, a camo T-shirt and sneakers. I think the key is sitting still and shutting up
.
Just my opinion anyway.
