Happy being "gray"
« on: January 12, 2010, 01:09:00 PM »
Had a chance to do some pics. Shirts are S.Indian grey wool, and a nock off Army ACU top. Shirts are all for the most part in the middle of the frame, 1 close up, zoomed in, and 1, 25yd distance, unzoomed. Plus a few longer range, unsuspecting walk-ups. Looking into the dark forest from about 60 then 30yds.

I though I'd give marine MARPAT a try with the Army ACU. No snow.

Hard to find non snow but this dead brown pine branch blowdown should be a tough blend... but not really.  
  Coming up a trail, here I think the ACU is a bit better out in the open, behind cover there is no advantage.

That ACU shirt is a couple years old and has really tanned, the Sleeping Indian wool is brand new and has not got dirty yet.

These were done with a pocket sized Digital camera so the lighting will appear a bit darker as the lens is about the size of a pencil eraser. Gray tends to wash out at a distance and does not give a high contrast up close either, neat stuff I'm happy with gray.

Turkey season is coming, I think I'll be all set with the grays. Have to wait till the buds and leaves come in for another test.

I just bought two Polar Fleece at JCPen. and they were under ten dollars, gray and olive are my favorites for spring Turkey and early season archery.
