Bow (Black or Realtree)

[Mule3006Elk]

I know it doesn't matter. I'm down to these 2 colors. I'm fine with either.
However, if I were to sell it in a year or so, would one color be easier to sell?
My gut tells me Realtree, I know a lot of guys like camo patterns, but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks

Buy the bow you want in whatever color you prefer. After that let the chips fall where they may. Hopefully, you'll get alot of use and kill some game. BTW, I prefer camo.

Agree. I don't care that much and would be happy with either color. I'm new to archery and in my limited experience I see mostly camo bows. Maybe that's my answer right there. Ha!

Wondering if there's much interest in black bows should I decide to sell it in a year or two. Thx

Only difference ive seen is with turkeys. But even that had been minor.

Camo because it’ll hide scratches, chips, etc.

I went with lost camo on my Mathews but between those two id go Realtree

I went full blackout mode on my last two boys. Animals don’t seem to care and I think they look cool. I think bow color is like truck color. If you decide to sell it it really just depends on who’s looking at the time.

Not into the Batmobile all black deal. Camo between those.

Last year i was specifically seeking out a blacked out halon 32, finally found her and shes beautiful!

I vote black. I have gotten away from most camo as after 10 years it looks very dated. Black is classic IMO.

I prefer solid color bows. Black, green, tan, grey whatever. Never been a fan of camo, especially the Realtree/mossy oak styles.

i have a camo one, and I have had it since 2015. it for sure has chips in it but I find it super hard to see them, like have to hold it a foot from my face.

that being said I like the tan-colored bows these days, I might just sponge camo mine tho

Black here. I hunt almost exclusively from ground blinds. With these new blinds being blacked out inside,it seemed like a good idea.

Have 2 that are Realtree and one that is Realtree Snow with black limbs. Go figure. I don’t think it matters except when try to sell it. Then you have to hope the guy wants that Camo pattern. Used bows don’t hold value worth a crap, so buy what you want and don’t sweat it.

I’ve had both camo and black bows and like them both. The coolest looking was an Elite that had a flat black riser and camo limbs. As a guy who did quite a bit of international bowhunting my experience was sometimes the all black bows seemed to be viewed by officials a bit more favorably as archery equipment and my camo bows more cautiously as a hunting weapon. I noticed zero impact of bow color scheme on game - but I would stay away from any bow accessory that is at all shiny.

I grabbed the RT camo. For no other reason than it was available. Black is backordered, due to COVID-19, and could take 2-10 weeks. I'm new to bow and hope to give it a run this season. I felt it was more important to start shooting and get comfortable. Waiting on black doesn't fit this equation.

Black. (I'm just building my post numbers)

 

[Pbast81]

I think both would resell just fine.

I just enjoy shooting the bow. Seem like a vain OP retrospectively now that I have the bow.
