Early bow I like ASAT bottoms and Sticks 'N Limbs top. Once all the leaves are down, strictly ASAT.

Several years ago I bought a camo t-shirt in a palmetto pattern. It looked pretty good in the palmetto, but I don't know how good it would blend in other foliage. I can't remember the name of it, though. I am actually in the group that believes the pattern used is not significant as long as the human outline is broken up. My most commonly used pattern is the old woodland camo, because that is what I have the most of.

You won't go wrong with Predator it is the most effective pattern made.  Predator is in the process now of a bunch of fabric changes going away from all the cotton material. We are still in the process of updating the new items to our website.

My all time favorite for spring is Mossey Oak bottomland greenleaf, for fall it's Jim Crumley's treebark or Mossey Oak original bottomland. They are getting harder to find these days. Out of the new stuff I like some of the Mossey Oak patterns like treestand and obsession. The Predator stuff and asat  is ok too but those oldies like Treebark and bottomland are hard to beat.

I really like KOM, sleeping Indian, and the new Silent Predator wool camo. The patterns coupled with the wool really seem to blend in great.

ASAT all the way for me. unless I'm in a popup blind; then it's black.

Plaid.

What pattern I wear is about #19 on my list of important things to get right for bow hunting.

If I ever manage to get the first 18 down pat, I'll consider whether my wool plaid shirt needs to change.  ;-)

I usually wear a wool or flannel shirt in some earth tone plaid with camo pants. My all time favorite pattern for the pants is the circa WWII spotted camoflauge, I used to see it alot when I was a kid, but haven't seen it in years. It basically reminds me of deer camp when I was about 7-8 years old.

Natural Gear or the original TreeBark for me. I was bowhunting with a buddy several years ago in south Arkansas. We were both still hunting and he was wearing the original TreeBark camo and had a dark green compound bow. He was standing close to a mature pine tree but not behind it or anything else. When I got close to him the first thing I saw was his bow. It looked kinda like it was hanging in a tree.

I am a firm believer in just sitting still. I think most camo is made to get the hunter. Knowing when to move is key, no matter what your wearing. I like finding plaid and broke up patterns on old shirts at goodwill best, along with ACU pants given to me by a friend.

can't beat that. I broke my pattern (pun intended) and am hopefully snagging a Predator shirt shortly for that very reason.
