OK Guys and Gals, I need some serious help with this one. Having shot at the local sporting shoot this morning, I have noticed an increasing number of shooters are now wearing Cammo gear and using Cammo guns for clay shooting. It was quite clear that the clays were flying straighter towards these Cammo clad shooters and as such I have come to the conclusion that the clays must be seeing me. I have decided to invest in some suitable Cammo gear to assist in my invisibility. Now comes the advice bit, should I just get some Cammo clothing, including the boots, or go the whole hog and get one of those wonderful Ghillie suits as worn by Army snipers. One big problem I foresee with the Ghillie suit thing is the increasing number of dogs coming clay birding, well, I suppose we owe it to our quarry to make every effort to retrieve wounded clays, but the thoughts of some Labrador, Spaniel or even Jack Russell peeing up my legs, in mistake for the nearest tree, just does not appeal to me. So back to the Cammo clothing, should I go for Mossy Oak, Woodland Green, September Stubble, Marshland Mud or even Desert Dangler. The Ground is in the middle of the Lancashire Plain and therefore the terrain is somewhat pancake shaped (flat), but there is some woodland, so perhaps a middle shade of Cammo would be best. Then, of course there is the gun. I had considered an auto in full Cammo, I noticed that the capacity for 3 shots could prove useful, it seems that if you miss with 2 shots, you can give it the third in the hopes that the clay has slowed down sufficiently to be hit. I was reliably informed that I could probably buy 6 of those Hatstand auto's for the same value of my over and under, and that was with the sling things already fitted. So, I have a lot to think about, as you can probably imagine. Any advice from other Members on here would be appreciated, especially if you too dress like an extra from Duck Dynasty and have noticed that the clays just do not seem to see you the same.
Thank you in anticipation. W.
P.S. Forgot to add, any boots should be waterproof and easy to clean in order to get the dog fertiliser off them before getting back in my car.
