Surely dressing as a cowboy makes you a Walt as much as dressing in all black to look like SWAT... :D

Dressing in all black or camo doesn'tmake you a walt. Telling people you have served does

Some people dress in cowboy kit and calling it "having fun". Do you call re-enactors "walts" because they well, dress in uniforms and re-enact ???? Of course not.

Why do people get a lemon up their ass over how people dress and have fun? How about SUPPORTING other shooting disciplines and those who take part in it, irrespective of whatever they wear....even tweeds and plus fours!

Camo has been done to death on this site: common agreement it's cheap and durable...so why not wear it, it doesn't turn people into something else, that's just projectionism.

Note "discouraged", not banned or prohibited..just not "in"... At the end of the day, what's more important - preservation of the sport or what people wear?

Maybe the Associations will compile a list of acceptable kit..a bit like a school uniform? wallhead

Kids dress up... Adults dress up.

Some people never grow up.

They're usually the happier ones!

Seems you are only cool if you turn up in a short sleeved top ( emblazoned with advertising ) worn over a long sleeved undergarment when it comes to UKPSA etc

Its almost like a fashion trend and they all follow it like slaves.

Everything is governed by fashion...

Even expressions of 'true individuality' run in cycles of fashion trends.

The only solution is to genuinely not care.
