I have used 3-D leafy suits when hunting from the ground for a while now with great success. The problem is they dont hold up to well, and fade easily. I saw the Ranch Safari Shaggy suits at the Ohio Deer and Turkey Expo, and I am considering buying one. Anyone have one or know soemone with one. Any thoughts.

I bought this suit last year and love it ,Very light weight and very comfortable to wear,It does draw some burrs which it not supposed to but i think any of them will,But that adds some more realstic to it.I also took some camo fabric and added to the suit to fill in the empty spots once the burrs settle in,might take a look at this one also.

Have any of you ever had an issue with the bow string hitting the suit?

The guys I know that use them trim or remove the strips on the inside of the bow arm.

I think I will get one, I will only use it for huntign from the ground. I probably wont do too much still hunting in it, but guys tell me they let the burrs attach and any other vegetation, it just adds to the concealment factor.

I have seen the cheaper ones also, and I have one curently but its starting to fade pretty bad. I have had it for a few years, but I am thinking about buying a bit better one.
