fiiish1987 Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 hi. i'm thinking about getting some new cammo https://secweb1.pipemedia.net/uttings/Image...illlie_suit.gif however i was reading in total airguns that hoods are more of a hinderance due to restrictive vision and hearing. have people who have used similar set ups found this to be a problem? if so would it be more advisable to buy cammo without the 3/4 face mask or simply pull it down and use a boonie hat instead. Also while this has got me thinking, does anyone find scrims over your head restrict your hearing. AND, finally does the advantage of not having pink showing ant the front and sides, outweigh the fact that hearing and vision are restricted to the front?

Mungler Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Go with boonie hat and scrim net. Cheap and versitile. Have a shufty at http://www.wingsupply.com I found them by accident yesterday and their cammo clothing sale is mental cheap - I bought bundles and the shipping cost to the UK was only $11 (also worth bearing in mind good exchange rate).

flytie Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) I have always hated hoods because they restrict peripheral vision and hearing. I use a brimmed hat and face veil for duck and pigeons and find it more than adequate. If you wear a hat with a brim all the way round it will put your ears in the shade so they won't show up, save you from sunburn and keep the rain out of your neck. If you use muff type ear defenders a broad brimmed hat just dosn't work and you look like a **** so use plugs Ft Edited May 9, 2006 by flytie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamspartacus Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hoods are no good, as said, they restrict peripheral vision, but wide brimed hat and veil, or even peaked cap with a veil that goes all the way round your head (to cover the ears). I have a wax wide brimmed hat so that when it rains no need to get the hood up. IAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invector Posted May 9, 2006 Report Share Posted May 9, 2006 (edited) Wouldn't buy a coat without a hood!! Don't really use a hood when shooting, although they are really handy if a cold wind is blowing from the back. I use a mesh face veil that covers the head , with a decent gap for my eyes. No need for a cap or hat, because the veil does the job, and I certainly don't feel my sight is hampered in any way. I see the birds and I shoot 'em!! By the way I NEVER wear camouflage clothing. Just stay behind the net until you are ready to kill 'em. Edited May 9, 2006 by invector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
