Looks Good. Have someone follow you to the woods to take pictures of you. It will help you understand its effectiveness in certain areas.

Don't try walking through the woods with the Tags dragging. I like to stuff mine in a sack and pull it out when ready to wear it,.

Good job! I like it. It is similar to the one my mom made for me some 20 years or so ago. I see you did not fill in the right arm/chest area. Does that provide string clearance when shooting? If you can be still, you will be invisible even in fairly minimal cover. Cyclic-Rivers is right on with the suggestion of a stuff sack.

That really looks great! X2 on what Cyclic-Rivers said with the pictures, take color and also take or convert to black & white.   Denny

Thanks guys, yes I'm a lefty and leaving all that off gives great clearance and when I'm sitting or tucked up you can't see it cause the back of the arm is covered well.
Thanks for the idea about a carry in sack never thought of that, great idea!

I'd bet you could do away with half the tags and still be effective. That might help reduce some of the weight.

Nice one!  Now that is the ticket!

...and you could use it on Halloween.  Just park yourself outside your front door to     :scared:    any ghouls and ghosts that come visiting.

MarPat base layer-cool.  You might just reduce a few strands to lighten the load but still keep it effective.  might think about trimming up your feet as the burlap will gather in much unwanted stuff-just to make a noise at the critical moment.  really well done
You have inspired me, to the garage I go

That will work just fine, may have to trim the bottom a bit like was said above. You are going to have some fun .............   :thumbsup:   Nice Job!!
