The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

People are so inadequate that they need to follow the herd to feel that they belong. There is a great fear in people about being themselves, why on earth people waste time worrying about what others think of them is totally beyond me.

The only solution is to genuinely not care.

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?

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.

Nah, because it's cold sometimes on those early morning stages.

It's a very American thing to do really, popular in baseball etc, the fact that some sponsored shooters wear their match shirt with a long sleeved base layer underneath is just the same as they would wear a normal t-shirt over the top.

As for the cowboy shooting, it's a valid discipline and people should be able to practice without worrying that they offend the pearl clutching hand wringing contingent of the shooting community.

Everything is governed by fashion...

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

Or become a nudist.

my club doesnt mind me dressing up when shooting although the committee did ask me not to wear the 6 inch stiletto heels for health and safety reasons.

Is it a spot the difference game?

During cowboy action shooting dressing up as a cowboy will not offend anyone, it is encouraged.
