This is why you need to purchase a ghillie rifle wrap along with your ghillie suit.  This image shows the Special ops paintball ghillie suit along with the synthetic rifle wrap.  You can see how the rifle sticks out like a sore thumb in the first photo.  With a matching ghillie rifle wrap you see how the rifle just disappears.

Dark gloves or camo paint would help camouflage the hands.

The Chameleon Camo Leaf Package comes with 700 synthetic camo leaves which is enough to make a whole full body ghillie suit.  You can combine these Chameleon leaves with a jute or synthetic ghillie suit that you already have to create a perfectly blended suit for the grass and foliage.

The gun wrap is an elastic band with synthetic ghillie thread sewn too it.  It stretches over your gun barrel and you wrap it around your gun to the butt.

Here are the chameleon ghillie pants in woodland pattern.

In paintball, whoever gets the first shot in the general area of their opponent is at an advantage. If you have the opportunity to blanket your opponent with fire, it will be very difficult for them to take aim and fire quality shots back in your direction. In a way, by covering them with fire, you provide cover for yourself while you move in closer to finish them off.

Using existing cover effectively is another skill that is sometimes overlooked. With time, you will learn how to work angles, putting cover in your way so that only one opponent is visible to you at a time. This leaves you free to engage, but you are covered from incoming fire from other enemies. You can also lower the surface area that you show to your enemy by crouching and moving in lower profile positions.

Stealth is important as well. Being able to sneak up behind an enemy is a useful tactic. Sometimes getting a little closer before opening fire is a good idea, even if you have the drop on them. There’s nothing that will ruin an opportunity like giving yourself away before you have the chance to fire.  Part of stealth is blending into your environment.  This can be done by wearing camouflage clothing like BDUs.  Ghillie suits is the next step in stealth and blending into your environment.  Wearing a ghillie suit will get your that first shot.

The first step to being a stealthy player, is making sure you don’t stand out. Your clothes should be dark in color, and you shouldn’t have any shiny metal or other objects that might draw attention to you from afar. You may even want to paint your gun a dark color to avoid being noticed. Bright clothing and bare steel is a great way to get shot down at the beginning of the match.

When playing outside, proper gear and camouflage is required if you want to truly be hidden. From regular camo to full on ghillie suits, you can easily find whatever equipment you need to stay hidden from your enemy. Keep in mind, it’s important to stay nimble and mobile while playing paintball, so choose clothing that fits properly and allows you to move quickly.  If you decide to go with a ghillie suit, mobility is a big concern. Choosing a correct ghillie suit depends on whether or not you plan to remain in one place or shoot and move.  Ghillie ponchos or ghillie jackets combined with BDU pants will give you maximum movement.  Your legs will be light and free for you to run.  A full ghillie suit will give you maximum coverage and less agility.  Remember to also cover your gun!

With a little work, you can become a ninja-like player, popping up behind your opponents and firing shots off before they even have a chance to react.

Well, now ghillie suits are used for paintball as well! They are perfect for paintball matches played in wooded areas. Wearing a suit that matches your surroundings will allow you to be the ultimate sniper, or to get incredibly close without your opponent noticing you. Stealth is key to winning a paintball game, and a ghillie suit can be just what you need to show the enemy who’s boss.

Ghillie suits are available in several different colors, to match the exact tone of the area you live in. Fresh, grassy suits are available, which are perfect for green areas and open fields. You can also obtain ones that match the colors of a more typical forest area, allowing you to blend in with tree bark and dead leaves.

If you really wanted to blend in perfectly, you can obtain a ghillie kit where you cover yourself with grass, leaves, and twigs from around you - that way you guarantee you will match your geographical area. This is the method military snipers from all different countries use, since they can’t risk standing out at all from the background. When someone uses a method, and by doing so puts their life on the line, you can be pretty sure it’s a good system.

Pictured below is a left-handed bow hunter’’s ghillie suit. As you can see the inside of the right arm is free of jute and also the right chest area. This is a one piece suit that is quite heavy. Feedback from a few of my customers is that they wish the suit was lighter and that it was a two piece jacket and pants set.

So how can you make a better bow hunter’’s ghillie suit? It’’s very simple. Just purchase any of the other ghillie suits available and remove the camouflage material along the portions of the inner bow arm and chest area.

We suggest that you purchase the Ultra light Ghillie Suit or the Special Ops Paintball Ghillie Suit and carefully trim the threads or untie the threads from the netting. Once complete, you will have a lightweight two piece bow hunter’’s ghillie suit!
