Casual Range Wear: What’s the Word?

[rg115]

I'm trying to figure out the best way to dress when I hit the range. I'm not talking about all the gear and tactical stuff — just regular clothes that make sense for a day of shooting.

I've been to the range a few times now and started paying more attention to what people are wearing. One thing I've noticed is that camo really stands out, especially during basic drills or just blasting a few rounds through a rifle. It's not a bad look or anything, but it feels a bit much for what I'm doing, unless I'm planning on hunting later.

Lately, I've been sticking with neutral colors: jeans, a simple shirt, and decent boots. I want to be comfortable and safe—definitely no sandals or flip-flops. I'm also trying to avoid looking too much like I'm headed to a military operation, you know? Just a casual day at the range.

So, I'm curious: what do you all wear? Am I overthinking this? Should I just wear whatever or do y'all have a vibe you stick with when shooting? I want to learn from what everyone else does.

I wear my everyday clothing which consists of engineer boots, black Carhart jeans, white tee shirt with a button up shirt over that, a good pair of shooting gloves, cap/hat to shade your eyes. And the two most important, vision and hearing protection. I may not be very fashionable but it works, I try to keep it simple but I would not mind having a decent shooting jacket for the range when shooting rifles or shotguns.

Wear whatever you want. I have never been to a range where anybody cared how you were dressed.

I wear whatever I want, here on my private range the only ones looking at me are a few squirrels and rabbits, they head further back in the woods once the shooting starts.
