Chris Report post Posted May 9, 2015 I can not shoot with netting on my face, as it interferes with my anchor behind my ear. Any ideas how to work around this issue? I'm tired of face paints! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kd300wsm Report post Posted May 9, 2015 I use a neck gator pull it up over your nose and it's skin tight so only thing open is your eyes for head covered buy a hat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElkDan Report post Posted May 9, 2015 I've gone away from a face mask and paint as well and haven't had bad results yet. I do like to wear a camo ball cap pulled down and also typically grow out a full beard to cover some of my ugly mug as well. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bwp22 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Maybe facial tattoo's? Something classy like Mike Tyson! In all seriousness, im with you, I cant shoot with a mask on. I cant feel the string as well on my nose and corner of my mouth. I only use face paint now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted May 9, 2015 There are face covers that are tight fitting with a large opening for nose/eyes. I use these while predator hunting. I have shot my bow with them quite a bit while archery hunting as well. I can feel the string on my nose, and my nock at my jawline. Plus, they do not grab the string when you release.

Will K Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Practice with it on and You will get used to it. Shoot with mine on all the time. Just have to get used to it. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kidso Report post Posted May 9, 2015 +1 for Will K. I practice with mine on and my rangefinder around my neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
resolute Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Agree with will k and kidso. You'll get used to it. Just takes practice. I don't even wear one anymore. If you are canoed out, and don't move much, you are good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathews22009 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 You don't need one, I have killed 4 bulls with my bow under 35 yards with nothing on my face, same with camo, it's all what you like... Elk don't see colors!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mathews22009 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Elk can't read the last time I checked... Wear what you have and enjoy the hunt, movement is all that matters, don't move too fast and a elk will never see you! Just have the wind in your favor!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brian390 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 I use an under armour camouflage face mask for archery hunting and it works pretty good. The one pretty much like the one I got is called Under armour mens cold gear infrared scent control hood. You can find it at cabelas.com and its 35 bucks. It stays tight to your face and you can put the bottom half of the face cover over your nose, below your nose, on your chin, or below your chin. I put the bottom half of the face mask just below my nose for archery hunting, so I can still feel my nose on the string for my anchor point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Another problem is the face mask causes my glasses to fogg up. Grow a beard, camo that beard with hair dye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
