This is something I have been waiting to try. I'm all the time shooting in a situation where the gnats and mosquitoes can be terrible. I have tried all kinds of things over the years, spray, dryer sheets, thermalcells, bathing, and permethrine.

I saw this about 6 months ago, ordered one, but it's only been the past few weeks that it has warmed up and the bugs have been out and I could really put it through the paces. It really has been a game changer for me, no longer am I distracted by the buzzing, just focus on the X, and execute my shot.

Enter, the dingle hat.

These are limited, mainly being only imported from downunder, but those guys really did figure some things out, there in the outback and all. I was shooting with an Aussie late last summer and he turned me onto them.

I too like to live dangerously, but that dangler by the string at full draw gives me the heebie jeebies!IMG_6770.jpeg
 
I think I would be more distracted by balls all over my face than with gnats. After seeing that outfit, we may not see eye to eye on this.
I have to agree with you here. But maybe I shouldn't knock it till I tried it!
