I sure hope not....lol.

I'm putting black limbs on my 82nd.

I don't think it makes a hill of beans difference.

Camo on Bows and Arrowsis for the Hunter not the Game. I hunted in 06 with an Allegiance that had Traget limbs on it because that's the way I ordered it.

A camo pattern to me doesn't really make a difference, but something that shines or is of a bright color certainly does. Dull or flat is the best, I don't want "any" high gloss finish on anything I take to the field.

I don't think so, especially when hunting from an elevated tree stand at like 18 or 20 feet. But on the ground you want some sort of break up. This isn't coming from a very experienced hunter myself but I would think scent and sound are the biggest issues before movement. You can generally tell when the deer are alert and have their antennas on.

I think it would only matter if you hunting on the ground with no blind

To me it does make a difference.I camo from head to toe and all my gear is camoed also.I think you have a betterchance of a deer picking you off with a dark solid object moving or hanging off the side of a tree than something thats outline is broken up with proper camo.Ilike knowing I blend into the surroundings completlythis is one less thing I have to worry about.I take every precaution I can.
