There are several elements you should consider when deciding what to wear to skeet shooting. Firstly, you need to wear a loose and stretchy shirt. Casual shooters may prefer a tee shirt or poloshirt. You will need a strong peak to protect your head from the sun and clay particles. Also, make sure the headgear is securely fastened to prevent it from falling off during a shooting session.
Shirts
There are many styles of skeet shooting shirts that you can choose. You can find them in either men's or ladies' sizes. Most have a vneck or crew neckline and short or long sleeves. Some even have a slim fit. Others are made from moisture-wicking active cotton t-shirts fabric. If you want a more casual look, try a men's shirt with short sleeves. These shirts are available in many different styles and colors.
Skirts
A skirt might be a good choice for skeet shot-loving women. Not only are they a great option for hot days, but they also help you cover up when the weather is hot. Avoid wearing minis as they can make you look embarrassed as a photographer. A book is available to help you get involved in the fun.
Tweed jackets
Tweed jackets are ideal for skeet shooters. They should be lightweight, waterproof, and provide ample ammunition pockets. To keep your hands warm, a high-quality jacket for shooting will have adjustable sleeves with cuffs. The jacket's back action prevents the material from pulling on your gun butt. It can also be machine washed. The knowledgeable sales staff at A Hume can help you select the best shooting coat for your needs.
Gaiters
Gaiters will be essential if your plan is to go skeet-shooting in the woods. These knee-high waterproof clothes keep your feet dry and protect you against brambles, heather, and other hazards. They also protect your shoes from falling seeds, which can get caught in your shoes. Also, shooters need to wear safety glasses and earplugs. They should also have plenty of cash in case they are invited for lunch.
Pockets
A vest that is designed for skeet hunting is a necessity. A shooting vest should have multiple pockets for shells, large front cartridge pockets, and places to hang your ear defenders and glasses. A vest of high quality will have reinforced shoulders, a front pocket and a loop to hold your glasses. You should also find a ring that can be used to attach a towel or shooting gun. This vest provides comfort and convenience at its best.
