Hey everyone, I was just wondering if i can get some of your opinions on something.
Do any of you think it matters if you have 2 different camo patterns on your bow? I have a RealTree Hardwoods bow, and was getting a new sight and new stabalizer that was mossy oak. They only make them in mossy oak. Do you think that matters? Can the deer even tell?

I don't think it matters from the deers perspective. I have always heard that different patterns on the hunter help to break up their outline. I think most of the visual and conceptual problems will come for the hunter(s) more than the hunted.

There is no way in hell a deer is going to distinquish the two camo patterns on your bow. I excessorize in all black components so they'll match the next bow....you'll lose deer because of movement, scent or the wrong camo clothing but your bow is insignificant as far as camo.

Not to worry.
I used to shoot deer with a bow that was done in target colors. <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>Turquoise blue and grey. Chrome overdraw and cams. She sure was purdy <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>.
I did cover up the chrome overdraw but left everything else bright and beautiful. The deer never knew what hit'em.

If he loooks up and see's you, the camo pattern you have isn't going to help! either your movement or you noise set him off and he is as good as gone. Deer are more attentative one sound and smell than sight. else how does a guy get away with wearing the most beautifully matched camo outfit but then have to put on that bold out-of-place "orange vest" and still get a deer? it happens. cause if your spotted your busted if your still and sent free then your good to go, you could wear pink with purple pokidots and still get unnoticed by a color blind deer.I have had a buck stare at me for 30 seconds straight as i remained motioned less, ( that was a long 30 seconds by the way) after he assumed I was part of the tree , he turned his head I drawed, he died. end of story.
