New camo on Bowtech? Mossy Oak Obsession?
I heard Bowtech will have two camo patterns for ' 04. One is Mossy Oak Breakup and the other Mossy Oak Obsession. Will all bows be offered in color chioce and what does Obsession look like? I can' t find anything on Mossy Oaks website about the new color.
Thanks!
Thanks!

RE: New camo on Bowtech? Mossy Oak Obsession?
All of the 2004 models will have Mossy Oak Obsession with the exception of the bows that had prevoisly had Outback camo. The bows that did use Outback camo will be the only ones using Break Up which includes the Rascal, TomKat, BlackHawk, BlackHawk2.
The Mossy Oak Obsession pattern is very new and I' m sure it will added to Mossy Oaks site soon but here' s a sample of it...

RE: New camo on Bowtech? Mossy Oak Obsession?
I do not know if MOO (Mossy Oak Obsession 
) will be available on the Bowtechs, but a few other manufacturers have jumped on the bandwagon with this new color, just as some did last year with the then-new Realtree HD green.(if you want to see MOO on a bow, go to the PSE website)
The current fad seems to be going to camos with colors and patterns that appeal to the hunter/archer, NOT what works the best in each given application. If you took MOO or RTHDG (real tree HD green) and slapped it into a October/November Oak ridge that is all tan and grey, it would stick out like a sore thumb
] But they are cool new designs, so people flock to them. Lots of green in todays designs too, and personally I think that is because we are bored and wanted to see some color on our drab tan/grey/black hunting patterns. Trebark, MO, and Realtree never had any of that and I killed many animals while wearing each of them, LOL. I think it is simply more marketing nowadays than anything else. It' s all about scent control and movement, not what you wear.
Honestly, I' d like to see Predator or ASAT on a hunting bow. It would be butt ugly, yes, but it sure would disappear in most all climates, and isn' t that what we want when hunting?
We can " look cool" on the 3D range with a target color bow if need be, but when I' m hunting I want a bow that will disappear.
We need a " chameleon" (sp?) pattern that will change to match whatever woods you are sitting in..There you go " lab coat guys" !! [&:]
Sorry if this got off track, but this has been bugging me for a couple of years now and it was a good time to throw out my thoughts on it. JMHO, Pinwheel 12

I have been asking for ASAT camo on bows
now if only I could find someone who would dip my bow in ASAT I would be a happy little camper well until I laid the bow down cause I would probably never find it again[]

RE: New camo on Bowtech? Mossy Oak Obsession?
I agree that camo on bows is more for the archer' s visual pleasure than for any practical purpose. Actually putting into something different than what is currently being used is not really an issue for me. What really is an issue is camo on treestands. If you think about it for a second, a treestand is how big? I think placing camo all over it (regardless of style) would probably be higher up on my list in comparison to the bow...but to each his own.
