    The last one I bought was the fall of 2013 and I have no plans of buying a new one any time soon. Especially after the year I've had this year. I've not even gotten to hunt much this year....nor have I really felt like it.

    I was thinking about getting my bow repainted because there are some really cool colors and patterns now but i don't know.... Its a bow. I've always purchased a camo bow only reason being resale. Most people buy camo bows, not a lot of people buy black bows.

    I have a Stone riser with Elevated II limbs. I’ll probably never own an all camo bow again just because I like the contrast. The deer don’t notice or care what your hunting with.

    You have to have a black riser with camo limbs if you don't you are missing the best of both worlds.

    Between all the bees, land management, and farming when do you have time?

    I used to have time to hunt. I have to do a better job of managing my time in spite of weather in 2019.

    Bow color is a non-issue. I've had camo, stone (grey), and black bows and it never has made a difference and never will either.

    My last 4 bows are not camo. Doubt I will ever buy a camo bow again. Most camo finishes are dipped. Anodized is a more durable finish.
