I was thinking up-close it looks sort of...busy. But against the tree it dang near disappears! And yes, that dusting of black to subdue it works wonders. Awesome job, KT!
great job they look awesome! never understood camo guns though....just seems like a good way to lose it haha, or at least I would. I lost a hunter orange knife....... camo would just up and disappear on me soon as I set it down to gut a deer haha.
Totally awesome results ! It sure blended in with that tree !

That is always a possibility, of course. Look at it this way, black is not a color one sees much in nature, and most animals have much sharper vision than humans. So, even if you sit still in the woods, when you raise your gun to shoot a deer, turkey, crow, squirrel or rabbit, they see something moving that does not look natural, so off they go! If you are hunting ground birds like grouse, dove, quail etc., you don't need it, as you or a dog flush them out and you shoot while they are flying. Some duck hunters like camo for their guns and boats, but others hidden in blinds, don't care. Blinds are a type of camo.
Of course, if you are in the military, the entire reason for camo is to prevent others from seeing you, especially when you can observe them. Camo has saved many lives. And the reason there are so many camo patterns is to match the environement you are in. Grassland, forest, high forest(like aspens), desert, jungle, snow, urban areas are all some examples.
Many of our troops in Vietnam custom painted their own weapons, and that probably led to the popularity of the use of camo paint today.
military I understand, never had a problem hunting though. I find not directly staring at the animal or walking like a predator before you bring your gun up to shoot seems to work better. It is like they can feel you looking at em and sizing em up in my experience. But acting like a grass eater it doesn't matter if most things see you or not, you are not perceived as a threat. Then again I don't hunt stuff that seems to care as much like turkey and such.
Man that’s looking so good KT
