Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts often opt to use ghillie suits to conceal themselves, and are an excellent tool for camouflage. Yet they are stunned when they are constantly caught. What tips off their presence is usually the fact that their rifle was not camouflaged.

If you did not know already, most animals are color blind. Instead, they utilize their smell and eyesight senses to avoid their predators and ultimately their death. Hunters know this, which why seasoned individuals know they need to mask their smell, but that’s where most people’s efforts stop. Despite the fact that most animals are color blind, they can still see patterns and shapes. Before I said you need ghillie suits so you can break down your silhouette, otherwise animals can tell the difference between natural free-forming shapes like bushes and trees versus rigid lines that define the human body. While ghillie suits will allow a hunter to blend into their environment where animals will only see a continuation of natural shapes, animals will notice a rifle sticking out and be startled. An uncamouflaged rifle will bring attention to you and will result in the animal fleeing. A rifle rag, or rifle wrap allows you to avoid this.

Covering your rifle with camo, will allow you to fit in with your environment.  There are various ways to conceal your rifle. Many companies manufacture different types of Rifle Camo such as Rifle Wraps, Rifle Rag Kits, and you can even purchase a Paintball Tank & Loader Ghillie Cover for paintball enthusiasts. Rifle camo come in various patterns that include woodland, mossy oak, desert, and leafy green – to best accompany your ghillie suit. You can also buy rifle camo that is lighter, ones that are made with synthetic materials, like GhillieGear.com’s Rifle Wrap Synthetic Thread.
