Patches,Flags, t-shirts, cap[s

Greg H.,
If you read my initial post, I suggested as a club that we get a t-shirt to identify club members at the monthly shoots. This is for social, safety, and recruitment reasons. I did not see a single non-shooter at the last shoot, so winning hearts and minds is not really part of the objective. At the 4/8 shoot I saw lots of AR carbines (and a LEGAL select-fire, short-barreled supressed M16), and no one shooting for score at 800 yards. The logo can be a 16" carbine--not a true M4, okay?
The point is that there is NOTHING politically incorrect about the LEGAL carbines that everyone seems to build and shoot. If you think there is, then you really need to re-think your affiliation with this Club, and if the Club wants to be PC then maybe I do. I never hesitate to admit that I own an AR-15 to "throw alot of lead down range" in a SHTF situation. When I want to put holes in something really far away I use a scoped bolt rifle in a real caliber.
Perhaps we can make two shirts. One for the monthly shooters and "Ranger want-a-bes" who train practically at BlackWater, FrontSight, Tactical Response, etc., and one for the Camp Perry types.

INCOMING!!! [ohno]
Everybody get your flame suits on :!:

But seriously folks, these details aren't going to change whether I wear one of these shirts.
My opinions:
Yes - lighter colored shirt for heat issues
Yes - Greg's black & white design http://customink.com/cink/create/cre...et&F=grycoar15
Yes - PsychoI3oy's black & tan design http://customink.com/cink/r.jsp?E=ps...om&F=coarfcom2
Don't care - CMP reference
Don't care - barrel length
Don't care - mag size
Don't care - A2 vs M4 profile (except mine's an A2)
Don't care - subdued vs slightly militant design
No - hyper aggressive slogans (kill em all...)

Let's just get something and I'll wear it!

This is my .02 I like the designs of Greg and Psyco. I don't like the tan color and some don't like the black which I do. I am willing to compromise and go with the grey I think it looks great. I do not want white it shows the dirt bad and when shooting I get gun powder and gun oil on me. White shirts would look like hell by the end of a shoot.

Lets all just come to a compromise and get the shirts ordered. :mrgreen:

heres my idea:

get a couple designs we can determine through this thread look promising.

make a new post with a poll to select the shirt(s) we'll go with. (make sure the shirts in question can be seen in the post. IE NO LINKS!)

once that has been decided, make another post to order them (info on ordering)

Believe what you will, but, if you will check, I think that you will find that I originaly suggested group t-shirts under the " Trashed shooting range under the gun " thread ( http://coloradoshooting.org/vweb/bul...r=asc&start=30 ), as a public relations & recrutement measure, 2 days before you said anything about the subject.

I don't think that you are looking at the entire picture.

You are right, this is for social and recruitment reasions, but we will also be dealing with the public.

While we are actualy shooting, and not actively recruting, doing a service project ( like the clean up ), or just standing around waiting for people to show up, what we wear realy doesn't matter ( unless the law shows up ).

Everytime we meet at a McD's before actualy heading to the range, I would be willing to bet that several hundred people will be driving by Hwy 24 or stoping at McD's to eat while we are standing around the shooting the breeze ( usualy for an hour ), and John Q Public will see us that entire time, and if someone takes offence and makes a bitch then we may not find ourselves welcome at McD's or anywhere else for that matter.

When we are doing a clean up, ( especialy one that may be covered by the media ), is most important to be taken seriously, and it is not going to happen if we are all wearing t-shirts that say " Born to shoot ", " Have you hugged you AR15 today? ", or " Have gun, will shoot ".

Heck being political correct means you never use AR15 is the first place, you use 'Assault Rifle ' at every chance you get.

If someone will tell me how to post a pic of the T shirt, I'll do it.

Every time I try to cut and past the pic, it refuses to 'paste'.

Here ya go Greg.

Thanks Hunter!


The design also looks good on the Lt steel ( a med gray ).

If anyone has photo editing, we can eliminate the background on the AR.

7idl, do we want to use a new thread for the poll?

[usa]

As far as using a 30rnd mag or a carbine gun that does not matter to me I will go either way. I personally don't care how PC it is as long as it is not flat out offensive or distasteful. Let's face it an AR15 is not PC to begin with.

Now lets get a poll going and everybody post there design and we can all vote. :mrgreen:

I love this place its like family [swing] [popcorn]
