Ghillie Suit

RE: Ghillie Suit
There's a few people on here that have used them, I've never heard of any problems with them. To be safe, I would wear an arm guard, just to keep the string clear of the clothing.

I've got one that I made up years ago when I was seriously into paintballing. The biggest problem I can see with using one for archery would be getting the burlap caught in my strings/cables. Add to that the fact that burlap smells...
I've used it for coyote hunting, but the majority of the shots I took were 75+ yards with a .270.

a buddy of mine has one it has strings on a mesh that blends in well . I wanted to make one one of these days. the only problem was to keep them short where th e string would be while you shoot so they don't get caught . i wanted to use it kind of like a ground blind but with out the blind just camo in the bush.
here are a couple pics of him

I had one. The burlap one I had was very heavy and extremely hot to wear during early bow and spring turkey season. Stunk really bad, too. I bought a leafy suit and use it alot now. Much lighter weight and no smell.

i wear a leafy suit, i think it helps, sometimes you still get caught but i think the percentages are down. especially effective over ghillie suit due to no smell, you can also go to wal mart get a yard of camo material and make your own, i made my own hat and gloves doing this, the nice thing again is its cotton so no smell.
