la bala Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I was watching a guy today through the binos about 400-500 across a field. He was having some good shooting, dropping quite a few, he also had many wary ones verring off. Now even from where i was watching,a lot of the time i could see the top of his face above the net. I am sure if he had kept lower or worn a face veil he would have doubled his bag. There its always easy too say when you are on the outside looking in. Do you blacks shooters wear a face veil.

oowee Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 Only in bright sunlight where i am very exposed will i wear one. Mostly i rely on the double looped net. the outside net (3 ply) at full height to look through. The inner two ply at nose height. Sit still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WelshMike Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 I always tend to wear a face veil when shooting corvids as I prefer a single net so I can see them coming a little better. I find that double nets are great but restrict vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andra Posted May 23, 2016 Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Always a buff headwear camo on the face or similar the cheap 4 quid ones off ebay are better than the 14 quid buff ones IMHO if it is hot I make a hat out of one too. If not hot camo skip or camo wooly hat. I tried a face veil but the one I have is a pain when the sun catches the material it shines and is distracting.

ShootingEgg Posted May 30, 2016 Report Share Posted May 30, 2016 I try to set up with the sun behind me for aslong as possible.. Tuck into the hedge/hide and find the sun helps to hide me. Means the crows are also coming into the sun so possibly visually impaired. Helping me to hide more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
