I was looking to buy a ghillie rather than make one, and came upon hunting ghillies. I was wondering what you guys think about using hunting ghillies in airsoft sniping. I was looking at this one:

Any help you could provide me would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

They are really great if you are sitting in a pile of leaves! Haha. Seriously though, they don't work well if the game you are hunting is human. Those kinds of suits don't break up the outline you your body very well, making it barely useful. If you were going to buy a suit, I would recommend a bush rag suit. This is all personal experience from where I live(western Washington).

In some places it would work well, but only in very dead overgrown areas.
But making your own ghillie is so much more rewarding.

The most important thing is to look at the area you play in and buy a suit that matches that area!

Basically, stay away from the hunting ghillies. We are not hunting turkeys on the field.

Alrighty, I'll just create my own then! They don't look too terribly difficult to make...

Thanks everyone, you guys just saved me a good chunk of change!
