Head and shoulders shot of sniper/observer

 IN THE MOUNTAINS...Often snipers and observers will be forced to "Follow the shadows" in desolate, rocky terrain for lack of cover and a good hiding place. You move as the sun moves, staying in the shadows to remain undetected. The Rock Concealment Cover or optional ghillie attachments eliminates that need. You can set up your hide or take a postion and remain under cover even as the sun shines directly on you. You will be well hidden and can "camp out" in relative comfort without the need to move every few minutes to remain unseen. Deployed with care, a sniper/observer team can hide out "in plain sight" beneath these camo rocks. The pictures above demonstrate how the "rocks" can attach directly to various types of ghillie suits

These camo items are waterproof. They will attach to your selected ghillie or cover in seconds and come off the same way...we've come up with a very simple attachment method. They are very lightweight. They can be re-painted or touched up after heavy use. We've found that the more beat-up they get, the more natural they look . And NO, it aint Styrofoam! Patent Pending.

Here are some additional examples of the way our Custom 3D Camo can be utilized.
 We allowed the snipers feet to be exposed so that you can get a better idea of scale, and "which end is which".

Bungee Net and Accessories
We recommend using two smaller bungee nets in tandem instead of one large net. We provide you with a bungee net, 60" X 36" (before stretching) 138" X 80 1/2" (after stretching) that has 16 hooks already attached to it along its edges (See page 1) .We believe the use of two nets allows more versatility to configure your hide and allows it to conform to the terrain better. You can attach the two nets in almost any configuration to manipulate your hides' shape to your  advantage. The Bungee Balls (poor bungee!) shown above are essential for use in rocky terrain. Those with climbing experience will recognize their application! They can be used in many different ways to fit into cracks and fissures of rocks and stones where the use of stakes and other such devices wont suffice. Or slip the ball end into the hook and wrap the bungee around exposed rock (see third pic from left). In dense foliage, the hooks come in handy to attach to branches and roots. The additional length of the bungee balls gives you even more stretching capability of your bungee nets, and more room for you and your gear.
SNIPER CHALLENGE....Can you spot our Camo Rocks from the Real Ones? There are 3 of them...

BASE NETTING as a "CAMO CAPE"
This camo system is very versatile. While on your operation, the terrain may call for you to alter your camo in many ways. Another option to the observer is to use the base netting on its own. You can spray paint the base netting to match your surroundings (as you should!) and use it  as a camo cape. The open weave makes it excellent for use in hot temperatures and does not impair your vision. With our easy attachment method, the netting can be secured to your ankles, waist and wrists or wherever you need to secure the netting to your person, in seconds, and will stay secured as you move about. The extra material left over from the original 12 feet of netting will easily cover your head and face. When lying down, that same material will cover your weapon or gear as you go about your job. Pull it back behind your neck, or just over your head like a hood and you can move about without covering your face and eyes.
Transporting your Camo
 Transport your camo in a backpack or duffel bag. The light weight allows you to piggy-back onto a pack.
