toothandnail Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) Personally I don't get it. You are not duck or turkey hunting. You are not on a secret mission for SOCOM.....why wear a silly costume? For the same reason that people who wear football jerseys that aren't players, or flannel that aren't lumber jacks... Or cowboy hats/boots. Its something that works or they like. Let it go man. Galaxy Note II + Tapatalk 2 But . . .But . . . But. . . . . . . .THAT'S different Right on, The guys who make fun of what others wear at a match are most likely the same guy who wore a Micheal Jordan(insert other name here) jersey every day for several years Edited October 9, 2013 by toothandnail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KellyTTE Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) A line from one of my favorite rants from Carlin (regarding cowboy hats/boots): "Hey Tex, get yourself a costume consistent with the century you're living in. You don't see me running around dressed as a viking or a pirate do ya?" Its this sort of divisive bs that makes it so easy to pit gun enthusiasts against eachother and directly leads to some of the gun laws that get passed.

GuildSF4 Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I wear a cowboy hat a lot because I like it, and it is good shade when working outside. (I also live in the sticks, no ranch though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetropolisLake Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think an ACOG would be a challenge to use, ESP wo an auxiliary sight of some kind. Cheryl Current, Vicki Carlton, Roxanna Durham, David Neth... all top folks, all have used ACOG's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are not on a secret mission for SOCOM.....why wear a silly costume? On that same token... it seems that the vast majority of people wearing "shooting shirts" at matches aren't even sponsored. You've got an entire thread here about how to buy them and get permission from manufacturers to use their logo if you design your own. You're not a professional... why wear a silly costume? What's the difference? Why is paying to turn yourself into a walking billboard for manufacturers who aren't sponsoring you while using a bunch of neon colors more acceptable than your favorite realtree shirt?

Flexmoney Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 You all realize you are a bunch of guys giving a f*#k what other guys wear? Or, worse yet, talking about it?? If you are really opinionated on this topic, you should head to the nearest restroom, check your junk, and ask yourself if you are in the right restroom.

If you are really opinionated on this topic, you should head to the nearest restroom, check your junk, and ask yourself if you are in the right restroom. With all due respect, the irony is that based on the rules, it's folks with your credentials who seem to care the most, and have the power to send some people home based on this alone, and apparently do so. I'm pretty sure that this thread was intended for beginners to figure out what you guys don't like and try to avoid a wasted trip. Personally I don't care, and quite frankly I am a little surprised that other AR shooters would give a crap if somebody looks a little too tactical, or even wears RealTree for crying out loud. (really?) How that looks to the outside world might be a legitimate concern for a USPSA director though. We are at the mercy of your interpretation of some very vague rules so it shouldn't be a surprise if questions and conversations arise about it.

EkuJustice Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I haven't seen the tactical dress in the pistol matches but have seen it at our 3 gun matches I kinda like the guys who would show up for 3 gun with the full tactical gear and every gadget on their long guns. It usually gives you an idea who to watch extra close as they are usually the first to dq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetropolisLake Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 All this makes more sense if you read "the complete guide to 3-gun competition": http://books.google.com/books?id=GbQ2_S8km6QC&printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&q&f=false Especially starting around page 30, regarding 3-gun's history with Soldier of Fortune. Alcohol, porn stars, mercenaries, contract killings... I imagine the old school powers to be want to continue to distance themselves from this.

bigstick0000 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I don't wear camo but being a military town with four bases here, it does not bother me to see guys in uniform at the range. I do wear khaki 5.11s when I shoot because of the comfort level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
