Camo advice?
 
For Christmas this year I'm going to ask for some new camo because I need a new coat. I was looking at camouflage and have decided on 2 types that I want. I'm looking at either the leafy system(ones with the leaves all over it) or the ghillie system(one with the tons of strips hanging down from it). I was just wondering which one you guys would think would be better. The ghillie system is $70 more for a jacket and pants. I'm leaning towards the leafy system just because it's quite a bit cheaper. But I just wanted some extra opinions.

You better consider the possibility that you may have problems shooting a bow with all that stuff sticking/hanging out. There's a reason that you don't see many bowhunters wearing that stuff.

That's true. I don't think I'd have problems with the leafy camo though. We'll see.

Shooting with a guilie suit is not a problem, so long as you use an armgaurd or sock or something to hold the material tight against your arm. My friend has one of these, and the loose material on his chest causes no problems either. But, for the money, I would go with the leafy suit. I use one of these, and they are great!! I have to admit, witha a guilie suit, you could hide right out in the middle of a field.

The Ghillie has the advantage of being customizeable for the conditions , but the price is weight(about 4 lbs) and they're hot . They're better suitedto paintballIMO. ;)

I shoot in a 3-D leaf cut suit , no snag problems so far . It's a little noisier than the Ghillie , even after repeated washings , but much more comfortable to wear. It doubles as a bug suit , and when it's warmer you can even wear it by itself and enjoy the breezes .

I shoot a leafy suit myself. I got it last year from Bass Pro for 49.00.
It is in realtree hardwoods green and it works great for me.
