Range Wear: What’s Too Much?

[rg115]

I've been going to the range a bit lately and I can't help but notice how people dress. I mean, it's not like we're gearing up for a mission out there. I'm curious about what everyone thinks is appropriate.

I'm talking everyday clothes here, not full-blown tactical setups. The other day, I saw someone in full camo. Now, I get that some folks like to rock that look, but it felt a bit out of place for what we were doing—just some target practice and drills. Maybe it's just me, but it seems a little much unless you're actually hunting or something.

I've been sticking to pretty basic stuff: jeans, a simple t-shirt, and solid boots. Comfortable enough to move around but not something that shouts 'I'm here to take down targets.' I think it's important to be safe—no sandals or anything like that—but I can't figure out why I feel so strongly about avoiding the 'tacticool' vibe.

How do others feel about this? Is there a range dress code I'm missing or am I just overthinking it? What do you all wear when you hit the range?

I'd stick with what you're doing now. No need to try to be Rambo.

Where I live that's not an uncommon sight. Just in general, and you can see those folks anywhere.

I'd stick with what you are doing. As long as you are wearing clothing that keeps you safe while shooting nothing else matters.

My biggest threat at the range comes from shooting my S&W10MMs. Man, that brass flys all over the place...
