Sniper Binoculars

The most popular arena for ghillie suits is by far the paintball and airsoft fields. The production of ghillie suits reflects that trend in that most of the newest innovations are geared toward paintball use. The newer suits are lighter, more durable, and provide more mobility than the older and heavier models. In the past , ghillie suits outside of the military applications, were built with hunters in mind.

Many of them were one piece affairs that covered the entire body from head to toenail. They were and still are great for still-hunting, but they didn't lend themselves well to a lot of movement; especially fast movement. The newer suits don't forget the hunter's needs, as you can now get them with multiple pockets. Great for extra shells Buy Ampicillin and snacks. Most of the new ones are two-piece affairs giving the user the option of being completely covered or just the upper body covered. That should appeal to anyone hunting from a blind. Blinds now come in ghillie material too. A turkey-hunter behind a ghillie blind with a ghillie jacket on is in turkey-hunter heaven.

Hunters and paintballers aren't the only users of ghillie suits. A wildlife photographer or researcher is going to get amazingly close to his subjects if he/she sets up in a ghillie blind and wears at least a ghillie jacket and hood.

The majority of birders ply their craft in ordinary street clothes. True, they can see a lot of birds using their sniper binoculars. Those that choose to camouflage with a ghillie suit can, with a little patience see even more birds and quite often not need the binoculars at all.

Then we have yet another group making use of the ghillie suit. The social set is well represented among ghillie fans at costume parties and Halloween is a prime time for ghillie suits with users checking in at all ages. A word of warning to golfers. That is most likely not "Bigfoot" after your lost balls so don't shoot. It's probably a neighborhood kid in a ghillie suit.
