when you next get the opportunity to observe nature, you might notice that nothing around you has straight lines. is either curved, crooked, bent or jagged. If you would see a hunter with a rifle next to it, they stand out. That is, without the proper ghillie suit to fix this unnaturalness. The word Ghillie is an Scottish term for a kind of game warden. Ghillies were given the task of protecting the animals on their Lord's lands from theives.While todays hunters just don a hunting ghillie suit, the ghillies of the old days had a different way of catching prey. From time to time the ghillies would stalk the prey by concealing themselves in the grass and lying perfectly still. They would wait for unsuspecting deer to wander by and then jump our and tackle it with their hands. They would now bring their prize back to the keep so the Lord could have his sport in the castle courtyard in a mock hunt. Of course, Almost everyone is familiar with the common camouflage clothing. A set of pants and jacket with camouflage patterns that attempt to clone nature in an attempt to offset the unnatural outline of the hunter and their gear. Sometimes this type of clothing works. But if you desire to go extreme and become part of your surroundings, go and get a ghillie suit. They are used professionally by military snipers. Pictures of snipers looking half man and half shrub have been seen in the news. It's because nothing in nature has perfectly straight lines, so equipment like rifles and antennas usually betray concealed positions. To counter this, snipers outfit thier rifles with little ghillies. The most unnatural occurance in nature is the human form but the sniper knows that with the proper sniper ghillie suit,someone can walk right by and not know he is there. The advantage a ghillie suit will give you over your target never ceases to amaze first time users. Paintball and airsoft players continue to be impressed with the effectiveness of the airsoft ghillie suit. A few of these suits are used by the military and experiences of being walked over and stepped on during scenario games are not uncommen. Prior to purchasing your own ghillie suits, analyze the vegetation around you in order to choose the suit with the right pattern. You will generally have four patterns to choose from and must carefully choose the pattern that most perfectly matches the environment you will be using it in. | ||
