I agree with Jim, I think they would work great and see lots of advantages in the gillie suit. But can't bring myself to buy or make one. I think they would be very effective.

I mentioned on another thread that I was thinking about it. I have thought about it for years. I don't think you would be able to beat a ghillie suit. But there is the problem of making one....it could take A LONG TIME ....

true, and when you finsished you might not be satisfied, i think i'll get a pre-made one, not like i'll be shunned for not making one myself

as long as i dont track through some prickers it should last a long time, only problem is if it gets wet forget about it, too heavy and burlap tends to get pretty funky, scent away dont fail me now

lol....lot of work for a ghillie

I've tried a guillie suit and it was amazing! Yes, you look and feel like Chu-baka from Star Wars but who cares. I have a friend who owns the suit. He is not a small man and the suit makes him completely disappear. I watched him from the top of a drain walk for about 50 feet and sit down. When he pulled his face mask down, we couldn't find him even with binocs. I had to try it. The next morning I put the suit on and had a hen walk past me at about 6 feet. She never knew I was there. We also think the suit helps with scent control. It is made of a natural fiber.

sweet thanks guys, looks like im gonna get one and probly the gun cover kit as well, only downfall is i hear the gun kit clumps up, or so the paintballers on the website say it does

I primarily Bowhunt and worry about the strands getting tied up in the string at full draw.

Anyone have experience with a ghillie suit and a bow?

the do make one for bowhunting but it looks nothing like a regular military ghillie, look on http://www.bushrag.com thats the kit/premade suit i wanna get
