Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I just think it is a way for companies to make a little more money on their products!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Important, definatley no but they do look cool.;)

My former aluminums didn't come any other way. (XX78) I've only ever bought black carbons. I find it important to find my arrow during flight and after the shot, I like using bright fletch to assist me with this. Arrows can and will tell you many things about the hit on an animal. IMO

My FMJs have the diamondplate finish....looks cool

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Really usefull for helping you find them on the ground.[:o]

It does add some weight but beyond that,not usefull.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Wow my poll is a bit lopsided... I figured somebody would come up with a reason for camo arrows... Also since they are easier to lose that is another way for arrow companies to make money!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I don't think that they matter at all. Some of the biggest deer have been taken when there wasn't even camoflauge. It definately helps, but I don't think such small things as arrows matter.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Just purely a marketing ploy Indiana. Just like most other gadgets we take to the woods with us. Outdoorsman like camo items. They might as well be in arrows too.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I think it has as much importance as you place upon it:D

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I need some nice fluorescent orange arrows for my rabbit hunts!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

For year's you had 2 choices, Green Game Getters, or Orange XX75, and I wont go back no farther than that. Nope!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

All the carbons I shoot are black. As long as they don't shine they're good. Camo looks good but costs extra. It's not necessary.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

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.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

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

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

The camo on arrows only make them look cool to other hunters. Deer dont care.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I agree! :)

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

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.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

IMO .. nope

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

No Absolutely not!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

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.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

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.

i never had a deer look up and saw my black arrow and ran off.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Even though I've had to use them when I couldn't find anything else, I gotta say that camo arrows are baboon-butt ugly! [:'(]

My favorite arrow shaft for many years was the XX75 Autmun Orange. Greatly ticked me off when Easton quit making them.[:@] I always made them up with flo orange nocks, fletched with 5" feathers - two orange and a red.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

The only reason mine are is that was the way they were painted at the factory and Wal-Mart didn't have plainer shafts at the time. If the deer has time to look at the arrow coming toward it and think "What a dork, he should have used camo arrows!" then shame on you. ;)

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Important only to me because I like my everything to be camo...
Ask my friends...when I am in the woods there is nothing non-camo with me.
Call it an obsession...it is just the wayI am.:D

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Camo arrows do actually offer one benefit. For those of us that like to shoot a heavier arrow for increased penetration and a quieter shot the camo usually adds 1 to 1.5 grains per inch for an extra 20 - 40 grians added weight.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

You can get the same weight benefit from arrows with the woodgrain pattern and have much better looking arrows.;)

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Nope

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I really don't care if they are camo or not, just as long as they are not glossy looking so that if the sun hits the arrow it won't shine at all...that is my only concern

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Ive never had a problem by not using camo ones. Plus you can see your arrow flight better and point of impact better with non camo.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Camo is really a plus if you want to struggle removing your arrows from 3D targets...[:@] Oh, this question is about hunting? Nope, doesn't make a difference. That being said, I just ordered another dozen camo shafts :D I think they look cool with all white wraps, white blazers, and white nocks.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Of course it is. You need to use the camo ones because they are easier to lose and you have to buy more!!!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I realize most of you hunt from the trees and I hunt from the ground. On the ground is at the deer's level and camo makes quite a difference. Put your self down on the ground and try it you will soon find out. It has nothing to do with an arrow being shot at them but rather having them hard to see in the quiver while you are on the ground. It is far more challenging than you think.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

I noticed that the camo finish is louder than a smooth finish when I draw through the whisker biscut. The variations in the finish seem to be the cause from what I can tell. 2 cents please!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Oh come on. I'm looking out into the woods right now and see thousands of black shafts. Movement is the killer. If your taking deer from the ground, hats off. Camo would be a black shaft on the ground from what I see. I think a shape is more to the point. A teepee is a shape that is seen when looking into a woods. I kinda think it's why the Indians chose it.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Ditto what nodog said. Nothing but Marketing!!!!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Agreement!

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

It all depends on your pocket book and preference. Mine Camo ( Looks cool ) IMO.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

If you take the quiver off then you only have 1 to deal with. I hunt mostly from a stand, but have also hunted from the ground too.I never leave a quiver on my bow. Its that much more mass to move and to be seen.

RE: Do you think camo on arrows is important?
 

Sorry man, I am not an Indian but, I do like the challenge of stalking and yes we can shoot 1 deer a year and so farI have shot 4 deer stalking. So that makes it 1 deer for 4 years of stalking. Talk about judging distances too, it is harder as well.Stalking, that is my way to hunt and is very challenging.
