Black vs camo bows for hunting

[justin davis]

Do you think black bows have a better chance of spooking game in a hunting scenario compared to camo? Or do you think black bows are a non issue?

I think its a non-issue, unless you get caught waving that bow around and then I don't think it matters much what color it is, you're busted!!

 

[Jager]

I don't think it matters a whole lot mate, as OPB has said, movement is what busts you. One thing to think about though, there is actually very few solid black colours in nature.

Only complaint I have with my black bow is it shows scratches really bad, camo seems to blend the scratches in better. Shot my bull last year at 12 yards in the desert he never looked at me when I picked up my bow a drew I doubt its an issue

I think concealing your face is the bigger issue, and just movement is general. Although I do wonder about the guys using snow camo bows in the fall.

Black bows are no issue whatsoever.

Game only sees a very thin profile of the front of the bow in most instances so i think its a non issue

 

[Lukem]

There's plenty of vertical, dark shadows in timber. Not an issue.

non-issue I know a few who hunt with a snow camo bow all year.

 

[PhillyB]

I agree... black is not an issue. If you're doing it right, the deer wont even know you're there. So the pattern of the bow doesn't matter.

 

[dotman]

Not only will you get busted with a black bow but if you are running a bow in last years camo pattern you have zero chance.

j/k. I always run a black bow.

my riser is blacker than the blackest black times infinity.

In 35 years of shooting a bow, its never made one lick of difference.

No issue buddy. Works even better in a turkey blind too
