Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Will a "red" bow scare off deer for hunting?

Bowflage is cheap and easily removable. A custom camo job with leaves and stuff is cool, too, if you're worried about it.

A lot of the red I see is pretty bright. I wouldn't want to use it. These bows may be different. I had to coat my bow limbs with mud one year because the pronghorns were seeing something in the color or shine of the new longbow. Shot my biggest buck after doing that.

Read an article in the past where the author was saying that problems happen at twilight when the deer is in effect going into night vision and the brighteners used in blue jean and other clothing will show up in the deers' eye because of a frequency shift in their vision.

Hope red doesn't bother them because I have an Obsession Delta 6 in Stormy Hardwoods Original with red cams coming. Didn't seem to bother the dead deer or the dead coyote last season
