Looking for more help... Ghillie
I have searched and read what I can find here, and done other research on the net, but alas must ask directly for the help of those of you with much more experience and knowledge. I found out yesterday that I will be attending the National Guard Sniper School in Arkansas, through April. I am now beginning the process of putting a ghillie together and am look for any recommendations and tips. From what I've read and been told so far I've learned...
- You can always go darker, but not lighter.
- Tie Downs are the key (lots of natural less burlap)
- 1 piece (flight suit) is faster on and off because it's one piece and doesn't involve buttons.
- Go a size or two up so you can layer under it.
- Thumb loops are a good idea
- Pads or canvas on knees and elbows are a must
- Hood needs to be long enough to cover scope when turned around
Specific questions I have...
- Any glove recommendations in regards to shooting and stalking?
- Where and how far apart do you put tie downs? What is recommended way to attach them?
- How much webbing do I need to attach to sleeves? All the way around on only half?
- Are "boot loops" or ties at the cuff of the pants a good idea?
- Base material suggestions? (DCU, Desert Marpat, flight suit etc??)
Thank you for your wisdom. Any and all of it (even that already posted in other threads) is much appreciated!
