maxtich Posted January 5, 2019 Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 (edited) How about this Camo heavy duty Tarps? I’ve had this made up to my 4x4 and used 2 cut up to the size and also cut out sections for the l/h window and front windscreen,then fitted some camo netting in place and away you go! It did take an afternoon with my mate helping and it really works extremely well! Ive added a pic of it shooting corvids only using air rifle.

julian f james Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi,perhaps not a lot of help but acquired a Camo Tank net years ago it was massive so we cut it up and shared it out, you might still be able to get hold of one.Regards Julian.

maxtich Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) Just to add I use to use camo netting in the past,However i found It deteriorating over time and doesn’t cover as well as the Tarps!

That I do like - especially the cutting out of the near side window which I use a lot for my rifle shooting. Where did you get the camo tarps please? Thanks.

maxtich Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 (edited) As it was about over a few years ago.to be honest I’m not sure exactly where I got these from! Id gues it was the Internet and it’s heavy duty Tarps. Edited January 7, 2019 by maxtich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtich Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) I’ll rummage through my paperwork to see if I could any paperwork. I do remember doing a bit of research before settling on this particular type. I do remember that this company did advice against get the light weight budget version as they don’t last as well as this. To be honest I’m very impressed with this and when I go shooting, to get the best results,I do go and set up before 1st light,well prepared and often can easily spend all day in the truck,especially when the drilling and harvesting times and the corvids can be completely fooled into coming st8 into my decoys set around 35-40 yards. I do however use F..A.C Air rifle 99 % of the time and don’t do too badly! Edited January 7, 2019 by maxtich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could find the supplier I'd be very grateful as there does seem to be a wide variety available and I'll definitely adapt the tarp for rifle shooting out of the truck passenger window. Thanks.

Pleassure mate plz let us know the end results! My shooting truck is a Subaru Forester. I'm thinking of shooting (sitting) out of on an open tailgate, drape the whole vehicle in the tarps then put a standard hide at the back just leaving a wide narrow shooting strip between the top of the hide and the bottom of the open tailgate. I can then chose rifle or shotgun? Playtime 😎 !! Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxtich Posted January 7, 2019 Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 (edited) Ah ok! I generally shoot Crows,Magpies,Jackdawsand Pigeons. I shoot sitting in drivers seat shooting through the passenger side with the passenger seat leant forward with the headrest pulled uppermost making a perfect rest! Once set up what with the Radio on,internet on mobile,hot coffee and sandwiches what else do u want come rain or whatever!

Cheers ...for shooting out of the passenger window, I use a hardwood 4" x 2" plank jammed under the passenger headrest then resting across to the dash board (scooby seats are too low to use driver side wing mirror as a rest) but forgot about the scope overview and the nearside wing mirror with a fox trotting left to right. End result of 120gr 7mm-08 meeting wing mirror at 3000+ fps. Was quoted £200 plus fitting to replace! Ouch NOTE TO KEYBOARD WARRIORS. NO THAT IS NOT WHERE THE SHOT WAS TAKEN. THAT IS MY FRONT DRIVE AFTERWARDS, Edited January 8, 2019 by Eyefor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
