They're really pushing that NAT gear on a lot of TV shows lately... but I think it's a throw back to the old look that blobs out when you get more than 20 yards away. I don't like it at all. If you're bent on one of those two I chose the ASAT. It really is a better break up pattern for a bowhunter in a tree especially when the leaves fall. Even when there are a lot of leaves it still works great I think. I don't own it, but have seen it on others. I prefer a couple other patterns myself. If I were looking to buy tomorrow(which I am) I wouldn't look at Nat Gear if the factory was across the street. If you were laying on a flat rock in cactus country maybe.................
