Camouflage is an artform!

We will be releasing a video on how to spray paint your weapon in the very near future as well, but to start off make sure you have some basic supplies.

Fabric strips, or scrim roughly 2-4' in length (Tan, light green, or light brown) are good base colors

Shock Cord roughly 20' in a neutral color like tan or brown
Rubber bands, boot blousing bands, or hair ties will also work but not as durable as shock cord loops

Camo Face Paint, doesn't matter the color just stay away from black, most likely your muzzle on your bang stick is already black, in the video I use Hunters specialty camo face paint tubes, they are the best I've found for both use on my face, and lasting on a weapon

Other items that may be helpful are a pair of gardening shears, or a small foldable veg saw

Step by step guide

Step 1
Apply a base layer of fabric or scrim to start to break up the outline and contrast of your weapon, if you haven't watched the video we posted on the 9 elements of visual perception we recommend doing so. Once you've applied the layer make sure its tied or secured so it will not unravel.

Step 2
Tie loops of shock cord that are anywhere from 8" - 18" in length, I use a double overhand knot but any basic knot should do the trick, size them to length as you wrap them around the front half of your rifle

Step 3
Once you have the scrim and shock cord on you can start to gather veg, make sure you stay within the baseline, lots of new students tend to pick veg from high and low but what it means to stay within the baseline is that if you are laying down, what veg grows to that height, vs if you are standing straight up, what veg is around you at that height, if you take the veg from the ground and put it on you while your standing you will cause an anomaly in the baseline and put yourself at greater risk of being spotted.

Step 4
Apply the vegetation to the sides and bottom of the handguard or barrel, leave the top of the handguard fairly clean and clear until the end and then add the top of the rail keeping in mind that you want to be able to see out of your optic, the vegetation should lay on your gun similar to how it grows in nature.

Step 5
Apply Camo paint to any black parts facing the target / objective area, in this step as well you can gather and make the birds nest that was shown in the video, make sure you weave it tightly so it doesn't come undone during your movement.

Step 6
Do a final check to make sure everything looks good, look through your optic and trim away anything that's causing major obstructions, and remember there will be some small obstructions but you'll be able to burn through them with your optic.

Thanks for watching, hope you guys got something out of it! If you have any questions of comments on what to do or something mentions in the video drop us a comment or send us a message on one of our social medias and we are sure to respond!
