hi im trying out some camo tape stuff on some parts of my air rifle and not sure whether to keep it on or add more or take some of or be brave and do spray on some unimportant components.

that dip-it camo always looks shiny, kind of the opposite of what camo is.....

I just ghilled up my rifle, cost me less than 180 pound and take away the shape of my rifle.

 

that dip it to me is just cosmetic, no practical use. looks good thats it.

hi i agree with you with regards to shinyness, but they now offer matte finish so that would be the option. i was thinking of ghillieing it up but i hunt from a moving offroad buggy so the material would flap around like hell.

have you got any pics of yours you could share?

 

thanks for the input though much appreciated. also what material did you use?

aint got none taken but i shall do, i didnt know about that matte option, sounds better. though personally i use the tape. the reasons being cheap an protects ur rifle from the scuffs in the field.

 

i used a ghillie cover that came with my suit and then cut up strips of material to bulk it up just that bit more.

 

how does one hunt from a buggy?

how does one hunt from a buggy?

 

arhh well first i should say there is a driver aswell.

basically you drive around about 20mph then when you see a rabbit you stop and they just sit because they cant work out what it is by open engine noise and odd shape, then just point and shoot. or if its dark- turn on the lights and go 35mph and play cat and mouse.

 

it's alright but i prefer walking or hiding.

 

do you hunt?
