Re: Ghillie pics plz!!!
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Casca6actual</div><div class="ubbcode-body">as is shown by the variety of ideas on ghillies on this thread, there is more than one way to make one. i'll get some pics up but im seeing a trend of extremely long jute that only gets caught on veg leaving trgt indicators and causing overhead movement and noise. remember a ghillie isnt supposed to look like a bush, its supposed to break up your human outline and blend into the negative space. thats why ffp selection is so important. my basic guiding principle on ghillie construction is light and extremely durable. balancing those two things is hard. but if you go out to shoot some face with a hundred pound sweat suit on you wont be able to carry enough water to live. mil snipers know what im talking about (800yrd + stalk lanes) and lets not forget on a live mission, where are you going to store that sleeping bag sized ghillie? less jute more onsite veg. </div></div>
My previous post with pics shows the Ghillie I was taught to build in the US Army Sniper School at Ft. Benning. All together, it's about the size of a good sleeping bag. Granted, I went to Sniper School in March of 1998. I'm not saying what you are stating is incorrect, just a different way of doing business.
