Made me laugh too!
Good on you. I have a fairly serious wardrobe of Realtree too for Stalking. Was thinking about taking the Speedmaster out for a touch of CSR for the first time. I will know now how to dress appropriately.
Cheers!
Looking forward to seeing you there. I will be easy to spot
So will countryman if he goes full realtree. I would suggest that his build will make him look like a mature oak rather than a sapling!
Brookers
Charming!
But true.

Slightly off topic but I really don't know the problem with camo clothing at practical .
I'm not a racist . I'm not a facist .or a war monger . So why does wearing camouflage clothing pose a problem

Civilians in military garb, carrying out military/police based shooting disciplines...... I can just see the headline on the front of The Guardian/Sun.....
And with the terrorism angle thats now part of everyday life you'd be lucky not to wake up in Git-mo!

Good job you don't come and shoot CSR if you're anti-camo :-p

My comment was a reply to Oldskools question, not a personal opinion on the subject, people can wear digital camo mankinis for all i care! I would've thought the sarky video might have given that away
I regularly wear realtree camo to go shooting in during the winter as its warm and waterproof. The only shooting i wouldn't wear it for is PSG as IPSC bans it because of the reason given above.

Ahhh, so you HAVE been to a CSR shoot then !
On a more serious note, I would never enter a comp where the organisers dictate what I can and cannot wear, for "politically correct" reasons. And if my club brought out such a rule, I would find another club.
If IPSC is so worried about public perception, why not go the whole hog and shoot their matches with side by side shotguns ?

Absolutely spiffing idea, what ho ! We'll see if Boss can make us a nice brass red dot or laser sight to mount on our matched pair...
