oh ok, what kind of clothing would you recommend? I have seen in some magazines, guys in these gilly suites and shooting long bows, All i need is some thing cheap and keeps the rain out but gets the job done.
Clothes and such are just like any kind of hunting, with respect to trad. archery. I am new to traditional archery hunting, but have been hunting whitetail deer for years with a shotgun. Most of the deer I have taken with a shotgun have been within the same range of a traditional bow (<20 yards). The key is to break your pattern, pay attention to the wind, and most importantly be still. I hunt on an old plastic duck hunting stool and wear camouflage to blend in. I usually sit behind a natural blind: down tree, brier patch, etc. If there is no such thing available I will make one with stuff laying around the hunting area (during the off season).
So to answer your question about cloths, buy, borrow, or trade for something that is comfortable, within your price range, and helps hide you. I will say though, I have had my eye on buying or making an ghillie suit.
A good book on the subject is “Traditional Bowhunting for Whitetails” by Brian Sorrells. I found it most helpful.
