I think what Don is saying that the a Black/ninja is an easier sale on the internet forums-Not that black bows outsell camo bows in general- Among Elite fans they are ESPECIALLY popular, so it's def an easy sell. I had a bazillion guys NOT buy my GT500 cos it was camo (" the price is great, but I really want a AT/Ninja...I'll let you know")
I'll say this- since Hoyt came out with the Bone Collector model Alphamaxes- In my shop people have been paying $75 or $100 extra for those black limbs and logo without batting an eyelash, and sales of the full camo ones have dropped so that it's about 1/2 and 1/2.
I.E. If you market it correctly the sheeple will buy.

Sorry Jeff, I still think this is a case of "It looks different, lets break it off in the consumer!" My first bow (when I was 11) was black and I always wished my dad would have sprung for the extra coin and bought me a camo one.

The other day a Reezon in black was being unboxed at Scheels when I was buying my new GTO. It was sweet as heck and the guy unloading it said he had a new Monster on order in black. Scheels said they are going to order more black bows for their demand is up. Something different and they just look badass. I like AT's also, which atre black risers and camo limbs, like my new E-500 I bought.

I am strictly a bow hunter and I have no worries of hunting with a black bow and being detected by game.

I do know EXACTLY what you mean about the whole black bow thing though. A few months ago I started looking for a Hoyt Pro-Elite as a target bow used b/c the msrp on them is about 1300$[&:] I ended up trading a guy my all black AM35 for an 08 Pro-Elite!!! I couldnt believe it lol! I got one of the most sought after target bows in the world for an easily available hunting bow that was about 500$ cheaper. Whats funny is that the guys post even said, he specifically wanted an all black AM35 with the #3 cams which was exactly what I had. I ended up talking to the guy on the phone and he even said he wouldnt have taken a camo one with cash b/c he was dead set on black or possibly black/camo
The good thing about the whole deal for me was I shoot for a shop and get my bows relatively cheap anyway so... you guysget the idea.Derek

Hoyt made it even easier to sell the AM b/c of its adjustable draw as well.I have to say though, the whole eye candy thing made me wait for it.We had plenty of AM's in when i decided toget one and i still had one special ordered b/c I like teh black. Stupid to some,but I love shooting so...Here was a pic of the AM. The green/black string combo looks incredible on a black bow imo.

It's just different right now. If bows were mostly made in black people would be complaining they were too boring and would want some camo bows.. lol
I personally like camo bows and my new one is all camo. I have to admit though the new AM32 with a black riser and camo limbs looks really sweet, seen one the other day..
Either way.. Buy what strikes your fancy!
