Been thinking a lot about what people wear to the range lately. It's been an eye-opener for me. I'm not talking about fancy gear or anything, just your everyday clothes.

I've noticed that some folks roll in wearing full camo, which seems a bit much when we're just doing basic drills or shooting a few rounds. It just feels out of place unless you're hunting or deep in the woods. Not hating on it at all, but sometimes I'm wondering if it makes it harder to just focus on shooting rather than looking the part.

For me, I stick with jeans, a simple shirt, and sturdy boots. I think it's good to keep it comfy and safe—definitely no sandals or anything like that. Plus, I like not drawing too much attention. It feels more practical.

Is anyone else feeling this way, or am I just overanalyzing the whole outfit thing? I'm curious to hear what others think!
 
I like a long sleeve shirt with a collar that buttons at the neckline in case I have someone next to me ejecting casings at me. I also wear a ball cap or one with a wide brim for the same purpose. Jeans and tennis shoes with a hoodie or jacket if weather dictates.

A lot of the camo guys are wearing the outfit for the first time to check fit and feel when shooting, and have an excuse to get it laundered before they head to the woods.

Yup, same as you. Jeans, sturdy hiking boots and T-shirt, maybe a flannel, a sweatshirt or jacket depending on the time of year and the temperatures. Personally, I would feel like a dork going to the range in full Rambo attire.
