Default Trad Camo

In the spirit of keeping things simple, I made these the other day... Not to bad IMO.. I'm working on another set with a different pattern.... Best thing is it's cheap!! $9.99 for the pants at walmart and $5 worth of shoe polish....... I used the lightest weight pants I could find at walmart.... I'm looking for a cheap, very thin top to go with it....

10yds



20yds



In the sun



Mossy Oak in the Sun..... BLACK!!



Side by side with Mossy Oak Breakup

Hunter06FlKy,

I wasn't initally going for the ASAT look, but it did end up sort of similar.....

My initial thought was to take the color of a deer(brown/khaki) and then add some limbs to blend it in..... Looks decent....

Here is a set I just finished which is supposed to resemble a bobcat.... Didn't really turn out the way I had planned....I'm going to take some in the field pics though and see how it looks in the woods....

It's shoe polish....... The kicker is going to be what happens when I wash it!! We'll find out......

that is a a great idea you have there. i never thought of making your own camo. If ya post some pics of ya wearing it in the woods I might even try to make some. great way to think outside the box.

They look good and should work...Movement is the main thing. Fred Bear never wore any camo and killed more animals with a bow than any of us will with our fast compounds and all of our camos that we have. I have tons of camo myself..it is a confidence deal more than anything. Sit still and don't move
