Bobba Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Advice please. I understand they do not deter incomming birds so thinking about one for showery days. But those I've seen on websites look shiny green nylon. Wouldn't this shine and spook birds? Does anyone know a source of cammo umbrella's? As my googling fails to find any. Many thanks Bob Edited January 2, 2012 by Bobba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

humperdingle Posted January 2, 2012 Report Share Posted January 2, 2012 I bought one for £19.99 out of Argos, which was all one colour of dark green. Took 3 colours of khaki / olive / brown spray paints to it, and made some camo patterns... Looks decent, and it's taken a bit of sheen off the nylon as they're matt paints.

caeser Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I have a superb quality Browning camo umbrella. Its realtree camo. I can't remember where I got it from, but my shooting partner has just bought one from the internet. Send him a pm and ask him where he got it from. He's called limestone cowboy. Or just try googling it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
