Definitely looks like fun. :) Wondering though, does the material impede your shooting - when I have a heavy sweatshirt on or something like that, sometimes the sleeve catches up the string and takes off from cast.

Im actually doing the same thing tomorrow....I got my Ghillie last week and havent been able to go out....Parnell....I think you might be right with the string catching the sleeve .... im would suggest wearing your armguard just to hold it down a bit.

Better practice a lot with it on, and shooting the bow at various different cants, you'll probably find out the you need to trim quite a bit of material here and there (even on my buckskins I had to trim some of the fringes )

armguard would help, and a backquiver would too,...all in all good looking outfit, it will do the business.

Manny is correct...I had to do some major trimming on the Jute on my Ghuille before it would not hit in different Positions....so make sure that you practice with it on...and shoot from different positions to make sure that there will be no Issues in the Field!!

I  can't  imagine  hunting  with  a  ghille  with any strips  on  the  bow  arm, let  me know  how  that  works  out  for  you:)

awsome! i has a ghilliie suit, never thought bout ghillie-ing my bow though. nah. snake skin backings should work. i use a burnt cork for face paint, and wear gloves and black tinnis shoes when i hunt. i always thought that the jute would get in the way of the string, maby not. as soon as it gets cold enough im gunna try it. good stuff man!  ;D
lets just shoot it

Howdy VenomBslinger,

The suit looks like a really good idea, but I have to question its practicality.  As someone had suggested earlier, I think your suit will get caught on every branch, twig, leaf, stick and bramble within arms reach as you try to sneak or stalk through the woods. I'm afraid you'll find yourself unhooking those camo ribbins more often than actually hunting; looking for deer.

Furthermore, while hunting, I can't stand any kind of hood or mask that might obscure my peripheral vision.  Right now, I own three differant hood / masks, and each one fits snuggly over my head and face so to provide camo while giving me maximum vision. 

Also, when I went to put a finish on my huntin' bow, I painted on some dark brown stain so that it looked just like any ol' stick in the woods.

(Sorry.  I sound really negative like I'm trying to be sarcastic or mean.  It's not that at all.  I love the outdoors, and bow hunting.  And, in my nearly thirty years of bow hunting, I've come up with all sorts of "good ideas" that I've tried - some worked, some didn't. ;))

I sure do wish you all the best in your hunting and please let us know how that works out for you.

Be safe,
Canoe
