Camo Face Paint or Camo Mask?
« on: November 05, 2013, 08:30:00 AM »
What do you guys use and prefer?  Do you change if on the ground as opposed to a tree stand?

I use paint. I have trouble with my anchor if I wear anything over my face.

Pretty much settled on burned cork middle face - ears - bandana covers throat and lower face - leafy head cover gets the top.

I prefer carbo mask.  It comes off very easily with a damp cloth or wet wipe.  No grease.  No mess.  It's expensive but much better than paint.

I normally always wear a mask.  It doesn't affect my anchor point at all and when I take it off, clean face ha

I prefer face paint, allows me to change up the colors through the season as the timber goes from greens to browns to grays. doesn't bother my anchor. Also, gets me jacked up putting on the war paint  :)

I use paint.
An archer tries to find ways to shoot further more accurately, a bowhunter tries to get as close as possible to ensure his shot is accurate.

Paint preferred.  Sometimes I'll wear a mask if I'm in a rush to get in the woods in the late afternoon or evening.
