Rangeball, I've been wearing ASAT for many many years. In fact, I had the ASAT team, Tim Lenartz and Chuck Pensyl, hunting with me this past spring turkey season I showed them some fatigues and a hat so old they gasped at them. Then low and behold ASAT was hard to find and I went to Preditor Fall Brown which was the next best camo on the market. Anyway, the new 3D by ASAT is simply put, incredible. You'll truly be invisible to game and humans alike for the first time ever. I've put it on and sat in the woods out back my log home for guests and had them try to pick me out, in green woods, fall etc..and they have a hard time and this is when they knew I'm there.
Some memorable hunts I had while wearing ASAT was when a flock of turkeys came through the woods while I was heading to my stand. I stood frozen on a logging/tram road as the flock split around me. I had birds at 3 ft. until I moved my head and the forest errupted in feathers...lol I couldn't believe.
If you remember the picture I once posted of my elk hunt. I wore ASAT then and I had my elk at 33 yards, I was on one knee in the open and the bull looked past me towards my guide which allowed me to draw, and connect with my first bull elk. Simply put, he never saw me.
Go to
www.lenartz.com and research it. You'll be amazed at what you might learn.
This is the camo that desert storm military men picked as their best ally against human visuals, against infra red and our snipers picked out to get in tight for their shots. When these soldiers lives where on the line, they relyed on ASAT to keep them invisible.
Most people scoff at it because of the lack of green. Look at it this way, if green was so great for camo, why did God make preditor/prey animals brown, black and tan. Think about it, what color is a deer? They hide incredibly in the open don't they? What color is a lion, coyote, female birds, etc.....that's right black, brown and tan. Check it out.
