I have used one for several years for coyote hunting. I made it myself, and it works quite well. If you are using it while bowhunting, practice shooting with it on. The are kind of bulky. Their are several websites that give detailed instructions on how to build them. But you really don't save any money, and they are very time consuming. I just did it to give me something to do in the late winter months.

I'm in the market for one, even one of the do it yourself (if you have started on it maybe (just maybe) I can finish it). Let me know if someone wants to sell one.
