terry b Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 hi there i would give the camo a miss, but thats only my opinion.ive been invited on a driven shoot a few times and in my particular case most of the other guns were well turned out but nothing over the top,although some wore ties i never have,i reckon its always better to make the effort as a way of thanks for being invited but you still need to be comfortable and dry,hope this helps enjoy your day cheers terry b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 Moleskins a nice checked shirt a tie and a suitible olive green or whathaveyou jacket I always think its better to go over dressed, then you can take your tie off, rather than think you ought to have worn a tie :yp: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted September 20, 2009 Report Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) camo Cammo up to the hilt No and No. Never ever wear camo to a driven shoot. Shirt, tie, breeks and under no circumstances take a semi automatic shotgun. If you have to, make it quite clear to other guns you will only be loading 2 cartridges into it. However I would beg, steal and borrow to ensure I didn't go on a shoot with a s/a. (Or I'd just not turn up) Wear proper clothes or you will look like a complete idiot and probably not get invited back there. If it's a top shoot, go for the look below. If it's not, you still want to aim for something along these lines. i.e you don't have to have a waistcoat and the tassles on the socks, but you get the gist now: Edited September 20, 2009 by harfordwmj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruxie hill Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 when i`m picking up its moleskins shirt tie and waist coat never seen a gun turn up in cammo :yp: enjoy your day all the best bruxie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groach1234 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Why not ask the person who invited you? Sound advice there i tend to wear breaks, shirt and tie but many people will wear moleskins or even cords with a checked shirt and a tie, i shoot in a waist coat and green jumper but so something similar should be fine. But as said it may well be worth checking with the person who invited you. George Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
