Chris Bb Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Then go here: http://www.shootinguk.co.uk/shooting/clothing/wear-clay-pigeon-shooting-61060 Strewth, the gear they suggest costs more then the average clay shooter's gun! And has anybody seen anyone turn up at a clay ground dressed like this, there'd be sniggers all round at the very least. Plus the list of what not to wear would leave many regulars naked. Journalists, please at least undertake a minimum of research before going into print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodp Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 They must have made a tidy penny plugging that lot. Loads of folk in jeans and fleece at our local one, my son included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicW Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I always wear a vest, a skirt and cut-off jeans at our clay shoots so I'm OK. Vic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisdom Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 What's wrong with camo? I wear my old dpm jacket and it's never been a problem.Pockets for cartridges and various bits.Fits well and has freedom of movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brokey Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Wear what you feel comfortable in regardless of what it looks like... Just off to have my hair done and check my pink cords before going to Kelbrook! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exudate Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I don't think Charlotte has spent much time actually clay shooting. Not in any world I've been a part of, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duckandswing Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'm afraid that is the most inaccurate article I have ever possibly read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Now I got told on Monday (genuinely) by a proper Olympic shooting judge that you're not allowed to shoot registered wearing open toed shoes or sandals Edited July 13, 2016 by Fatcatsplat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exudate Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Reading between the lines, I think she's aiming the article at game syndicates who go as a group for a simulated game day. They tend to wear what they would for game, but toned down a bit. Towards the end of the article, she talks about firing 500 cartridges, which is what leads me to suspect that it's not aimed at regular trap / skeet / English sporting shooters.

Glenlivet Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Now I got told on Monday (genuinely) by a proper Olympic shooting judge that you're not allowed to shoot registered wearing open toed shoes or sandals 'Cos of course walking boots WILL prevent you blowing your toes off accidentally............

kingo15 Posted July 14, 2016 Report Share Posted July 14, 2016 Now I got told on Monday (genuinely) by a proper Olympic shooting judge that you're not allowed to shoot registered wearing open toed shoes or sandals rumor has it that the cpsa brought that in for one shooter they didnt like, who always tended to wear shorts and flip flops, and liked distractions whilst in the cage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted July 15, 2016 Report Share Posted July 15, 2016 A highly amusing read on a Friday afternoon. Yoga outfits ?? Why did she feel the need to say that ? The lady in the photo looks like she is standing on a peg on a driven shoot anyway . You'd think the journalist worked for them because she had a love of shooting but the article is written as if it is tongue in cheek . I enjoyed reading it anyway , very funny. Now where did I put that leotard ...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxfordshooter Posted July 16, 2016 Report Share Posted July 16, 2016 Now I realise why I've been missing so many clays. All this time I've been wasting my time thinking about consistent mount and keeping the gun moving after I take the shot when all I really needed was an Oakham fleece gilet at £129.95.

Salopian Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Never let the truth spoil a good story, seems to be the journalistic conduct code of practice. This article is nothing but a product revue and advertorial. This type of article does nothing at all to promote our sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted July 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 My neighbour returned home on Monday wearing a long sleeved shirt and a tie. I ribbed him, asking if he'd been to a business meeting. He told me he'd been playing golf and the club insisted on this dress in the bar but at least they'd been excused jackets, this on a day that reached 30ºC! Any sport where I have to wear a tie merely to buy a beer can take a running jump! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
