Flexmoney Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 (sorry, this is too funny to me) Any shooter that wears their hat backwards is clearly showboating. Except for going prone, there is no competitive reason to wear the hat backwards. And, it should be apparent that having a hat on backwards does nothing to prevent a piece of hot brass from landing above the shooting glasses...falling behind said shooting glasses...then burning a hole through the eye-ball as it travels directly to the brain.

TriggerT Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Can I wear the hat with the brim staight up? Once and awhile I REALLY need the rally cap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriss Grube Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Well the only time I wear a hat shooting is when the sun or rain is a problem. Haven't burned any brass through to my brain yet. Man you have really got to be bored silly to even take the time to make a poll for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Never, ever worn a hat for shooting. If you're afraid of being hit by hot brass head to your gunsmith and have that d@#§ extractor fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerT Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Flex, I assume this joke of a thread is in responce to the "Flip and Catch" never ending thread that was just put down after running like an Energizer Bunny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDH Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Kyle, I voted for #2 Prohibit - Match DQ, but only if there's a detonation. Even though I don't know how a hat worn backwards can cause a detonation??? You are too funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flexmoney Posted August 1, 2004 Author Share Posted August 1, 2004 Well the only time I wear a hat shooting is when the sun or rain is a problem. Clearly grounds for a DQ. Shooter admits he looks stupid, buys everyone a round after the match. Turn your hat around, pull your pants up, and quit acting stupid. Hmmmm, which is worse...I young guy running around with his hat backwards...or a bunch of us "aging" guys with our guts hanging over our belts huffing-and-puff while we race against the timer. lol Can I wear the hat with the brim staight up? Once and awhile I REALLY need the rally cap! That doesn't sound very tactical. Kyle, I voted for #2 Prohibit - Match DQ, but only if there's a detonation. Even though I don't know how a hat worn backwards can cause a detonation??? Thanks for getting the WHOLE joke. Vince, sorry for stealing your poll questions. This wasn't aimed at your...I was just too lazy to type my own (copy and paste rocks!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omnia1911 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Trying to describe showboating is as difficult as trying to describe pornography. You can't really put your fingure on it, but you know it when you see it. Now, is a hat on backwards showboating? Maybe not, but a hat folded in half with the visor standing stright up certainly would be. Is a shirt that says "Hi, My Name Is Bobby" showboating? It is questionable, but a shirt that had "Team Hellfire Handguns" embroidered on it probably would be. If you take a graceful hop, skip, and a jump into a shooting position, you're most likely not showboating, but if you round a corner on a stage, loose your footing, and fall to the ground while keeping the muzzle pointed in a safe direction, you are screeming to the gallery "LOOK AT ME!" Showboaters, or anyone bringing attention to themselves, should be handed over to the Practical Shooting Etiquette Enforcers for re-instruction.

rhino Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I could snap that little dude like a dry twig. Okay ... I need a ruling. What if a guy is wearing a sold color stocking cap. How do you know if he has it on backward or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling White Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I'd wear my hat backwards if it helped me shoot better! Clothes natzis should stay at home....as long as someone isn't dressed like rambo - who cares! Its like telling the Swedish bikini team to put their clothes on.....Right! Besides, if your mind is in the match, what somebody else does or is doing shouldn't bother you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know if he has it on backward or not? You'd have to catch him first. Stocking caps are too "gangsta." Das Klozing Polizei say: "VERBOTTEN!!!"

old shooter Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Ok, I think that is should be ok if you wear your hat backwards BUT 1 you must shoot stronghand only, gun canted 90 degrees 2 you must have underwear showing when viewed from behind 3 you must have at least 60 inches of gold chain showing 4 you must have at least 5 visible tatoos 5 your pant size must be large enough to share with big dave and rhino Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is rambo-like atttire singled out if everything else goes? Hmm? HMM? Next match, I'm wearing Vietnam-era jungle fatigue trousers, no shirt, and a head band. 1 you must shoot stronghand only, gun canted 90 degrees I actually did that on a stage a few weeks ago.

kspeer Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 (sorry, this is too funny to me) Any shooter that wears their hat backwards is clearly showboating.

And, it should be apparent that having a hat on backwards does nothing to prevent a piece of hot brass from landing above the shooting glasses...falling behind said shooting glasses...then burning a hole through the eye-ball as it travels directly to the brain. 9. The competitor should be forced to use the "Homie Nightsight" style of shooting when shooting with his hat backwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
