i know we have all had the time in our airsoft career when we were low on cash. here are some alternatives to my $200 suit i use. a very easy one is to take spray glue with a old sweatshirt and pants, spray it on and lay burlap, fake or real grass/leaves and your done for like 20 bucks. now i know it will come off so just spray more on. Also, i am a hunter i found out that camo netting with a hole through the top makes a good cheap ghillie poncho. so just take this into consideration before you buy

For me, I don't use a ghillie, but I'd probably use the camo netting and grass/vegetation

I mean no offense, but professionals make theirs and they cost >$75 most of the time. Did you order a pre-made from Ghilliesuits.com with the BDU and skid pads already attached or something? |

This is a very good way to make a ghillie, nice idea. The real bush and tree would be very good...
"reddeth" - "Oh, I get it... well what ever works I suppose (the reason I don't wear a ghillie) my terrain changes so much I'd be out of place unless I camped so... really all I can do is just buy oversized BDU's so they're baggy enough to obscure the basic human shape"
Ghillie suits are definitely not imperative for a sniper, it just makes the job of staying hidden more difficult. I myself have only ever used anything like that and have had people walk within a foot of me and not know I was there.
If you can get into the cover of some deep shade or inside of a bush, then that is more effective than most ghillies.
I think the main point that I am trying to make is that there is almost no substitute for good cover.
The baggy BDU's is also a good idea... Would I be right in guessing 'reddeth', that you prefer the Marksman role? I think every sniper likes to get out there once and awhile (some more than others), to reach out an touch the opposition's support to advance your own squad.

You guys buy your ghillie suits, tsk tsk... Maybe we should all read up on some sniping fieldcraft manuals  I'll get my guide over here soon. |

what you can do is go to like cabelas and buy netting for like 20 bucks for a 10x10 quilt
