The truth is the composite gun stocks were pushed on the market when good walnut was getting hared to find in the 70's , 80's , they are great in poor weather, fantastic for target guns , but very poor at giving me any nostalgic feelings of ownership like checkered walnut can.
I had a remington mdl 7600 pump 3006 and a remington bdl mdl 700 win mag 300 all blinged out in wood hated to carry them in the woods they were so pretty. I traded them in on my micro .

when i'm sitting in the woods in blaze orange i'm not real concerned about the color of my rifle... when i'm done gutting a deer i'm usually wishing that my rifle & knife were both blaze orange... as far as my 335 goes it's a lil easier to keep my nightmare straight from my son's camo one when in camp or target shooting otherwise i would probly have gone camo but to each their own

Ive never worn camo hunting, I guess we don't need it here. I prefer conservative lines and tones on weapons as well. Its always struck me strange that for rifle hunting we choose normal stocks and profiles 90% of the time for all our 0-400 yards shooting. But when we want a crossbow which is technically more primitive, we want the stock to look like a long range sniper ninja toy. :?

Black bows match my ASAT camo! :)

I read from the national society of camouflage that turkeys on average killed with a camo crossbow average at least a 3 Inch bigger beard why would they lie. Lol
