    Black, as long as it's flat black, shouldn't cause you a prob esp out of a stand. Most sales of black, esp testerossa, are bought for 3-d. I always recommend camo over black, but black w camo limbs, better. Camo blends, and theres a reason pro's use camo.

    Z7 tacticals are selling like wildfire in black, but none have brought me a decent buck or pic.

    IMHO. God Bless.

    Ive never known anyone who was a deer before. Therefore, I dont even believe they cant see orange. Opt for camo, blending with your surroundings is the goal. I've never seen a black tree, or black tree limbs. The option is yours, as your beliefs on color. If you only hunt in a dark house, black will work, opt off the testerossa.

    IMHO. God Bless.

    Hunting bows are camo.
    Sissy target bows are all other colors.

    I personally still like all camo but, I guess that may be considered white trash now. lol So maybe I need to get a black one.

    I just bought an all black Elite Answer. Can't wait. I couldn't agree more about that it doesn't matter what pattern it is.

    For a bow, it doesn't matter a bit. The thing could be flo orange really...

    When I find a Destroyer 340 in black ops, I'll be making a purchase. That is my next bow.

    Know a young lady who did this very thing this past hunting season. It's all about breaking up your outline, and judging whether the animal is nervous or calm.

    I think it depends a lot on the camo you use when bowhunting. I personally think it's important to try and match your bow to your camo as much as possible.

    Here is a pic of my bow that I Duracoated last summer. It had a camo riser. I like it a lot better.

    I'm a fan of the black bow look, but I love camo. It's my favorite color :)

    I have always had camo bows but, when I get a new one is just might be black. I really like the way they look. And it would make me feel like a ninja in a tree.:sly:
