has anyone ever used this ghillie system

I think that's what I have and I like it fine.

Nice pic David !

I assume you are talking about the "Total Concealment System".

I hope it works good, I just ordered a coat and headgear in MO Brush last night. Should be trying it out within the next few days.

give me a update when u get it what u think as far as quality. did u get the scent lock.

Okay.

I did not order the scent lock stuff. I wanted to leave room for layering. It's almost always cold here when I need camo so I have to save room for a good base layer.

ive had mine for alittle over a year now... they were fine until i washed them... then the cloth sort of shriveled up on me.. it still looks alright but not as enticing as it did new... holds up alright to the briars too. i have the full system. headnet,boonie hat and top and bottom in both scentlok and non scentlok. in the wintertime i wear the unscented suit over my heavy camo clothing and in the fall i use the scentlok set and just a pair or shorts and a tshirt... if i had it to do over id still buy it again and again... dont ask me how long it will last bc im still working on wearing them out.. lol. but i do like the system very much.

thanks for the input just got new catalog and noticed its 40 dollars higher in it than the web. go figure.

Finally got it in the mail today. Looks good. Decent construction. I am not sure that I would pay the $90 on the price tag on it though. Definitely a good deal at $50.

The boonie hood fits fine. Took me a while to notice the drawstring for the headband.

I am not impressed with the 3/4 mask. I cant get it to stay on. It either flips up over my eyes or falls down off my face.

The stuff is in some UV Sportwash right now and it will hit the field Friday and Sunday. I'll give it the "blob" test and let you know more.

i got my wife to order me a set for Christmas. should be here by now. she usually let's me have the hunting stuff a little early! i been putting off buying a ghillie for 3 yrs. couldn't close myself on a ghillie. i'm really looking forward to getting the tsc camo. i got it in the mo brush also. the $50 sale price probably had a lot to do with my decision. money's thin this year.

Okay, I have "blob" test pix. pm sent emtpredator.

I decided just to go ahead and post them up. Here goes.

I think you will like them nutcracker. They passed every test except the "direct sunlight in the middle of a field" test. Even then, it marginally passed once I reduced the shadow generating profile.

Here is the "lichen covered granite" test. Passed with flying colors.



This test is at the base of a cedar, well into the shadow. The diagonal light colored line is the sun on my gun, the black blob is my scope. The camo is 100% invisible, even though it is of a lighter color than the back lit environment. There was a little sun glare on the camera lens, but then, a stand is supposed to be set up so the sun is baking the predators peepers.

Passed beyond all expectations.



This next test is the Achilles heel of almost any camo. Direct sunlight in the middle of a field. Test one was the jacket draped over a bush. Due to the shadow effect.....fail.

No arrow required.........



This is the result from a little further away and the jacket spread out a little better to kill more of the shadow profile. I think it would have been difficult to spot if not for the shadow on the left side. I'll give this one a passing grade, but barely.



Hope this helps.....

great pictures! those are great!

Thanks bama.

Did you get your gun?

almost. i have all but one check in, and the checks need ten days to clear, and then im sending the money. thanks for asking!

Let me know if you fall short of funds, I stumbled upon the cause a little late.

ok thanks! im one check short now, but maybe it will come in!

thanks cornstalker i cant decide what pattern to get the mossy oak looks to dark and the realtree looks to light.

Don't go by the Cabela's pictures. The fact is, the fabric will deform after washing and the underside of the strands are a ton lighter than the intended pattern, but it works.

After a bit of field research I am sold on Mossy Oak Brush. I think it is universal if used properly with ambient light conditions. Then, if placed properly, nearly any pattern could be effective in the umbra of a shadow....

Good review! I to just ordered Cabelas Mossy Oak Brush jacket yesterday for $50!

you think the mo brush will work here in the east. i plan on using it in the spring for turkey also. i was thinking of going with the mossy oak breakup after u said that its lighter after its washed.
