What type of camo do you all use?

[lidocaine]

Hello all,

Im in the market for a new camo TOP and I need some feedback/suggestions.What do you all use?
I play in Mass. and Im not really sure what works good up here.

Thanks!

I stick with old school tigerstripes and woodland. The most effective camo I've seen on well worn fields is Flecktarn.

i use the Canadian CADPAT design, works wonders up here with our foliage. not sure what kind of trees are prominent there.

I wear desert night cammo in the woods, doesnt work worth a ding dong in the desert at night but does pretty ok in the woods in the day, though the candy apple chrome minimag tends to give away my position.... But by the time you see the gun, its too late

Get some realtree or some such.

I currently use Tigerstripe. However, I'm a fan of Marpat and I plan on picking up SpecOps Ultralights in their new OmniPat. Course, It's a bit warmer so Ultarlites will be nice.

I'm a big fan of MultiCam (which OmniPat rips off)

I'm using Belgium dots camo, very simliar to the German dot camo of WW2. Didn't help them much...Doesn't help me much either!! Lol!

Multicam is wonderful stuff!!

Tru-Spec or Propper are 2 good sources for it that are inexpensive yet still use genuine Multicam fabric.

To be honest I like the old standard camo. I dunno, its called "woodland" in the pic above. Regionally I think mossy oak is one of the more effective patterns. I just like the old stuff cause its found cheap in every surplus store and wally world in the area, not to mention the salvation army store, etc.
I think the last set I picked up cost me less than $15 for the entire getup.

Huge fan of the Multicam. I live in NH and it works pretty well here.

Good old US issue woodland, cheap and durable

I use CADPAT. I love it and most of the guys at my field want the stuff.

My suggestion is simple but may require more time than you wish to devote to it...

I suggest that you get a decent digital camera that has time and date-stamp capabilities and take good pics throughout the year. Go to your playing area/field and snap some shots of the foliage and terrain and create a 'visual notebook' of the area throughout the year. A pic a week should do fairly well for you...

What you do then is category the pics by season...and then by date within that season.

Get a box of photo-grade paper and print the pics from your computer and then take those photos to the store and compare them to the choices on the racks.

This is by far, the best way to pic your camo - but like I said, it takes time to get the photos.

If you don't want to go through all of that, pick a "general" camo scheme that fits your terrain.

Hardwoods/Firs/lots of foliage = MARPAT or some type of Mossy Oak hunting pattern (for that particular season)

Sandy or light-colored terrain and sparse vegetation = ACU or a desert pattern

I use MARPAT. If you get some, get the stuff made by Propper. The Tru-Spec fades very, very quickly.
