At the pistol and rifle ranges I frequent nobody wears camo.

In the "Genuine Reason" section on gun licences and PTA's I can't recall "I like to dress up in military gear and a pistol/rifle will complete my outfit" being one.

While I don't think there are, or should be, any rules about wearing camo to a range, doing so says a whole lot of things about the wearer... and none of them are flattering, regardless of the size of the wearer's backside.

Anything you read into what anybody wears is only happening in your head, your problem, not theirs.

Because the gun can't walk 200 meters to a target and be hard to see .
