I see your point, though I probably would have found a different celebrity to use as an example. Old Pam is just looking like hell now a days, she might send shooters scuttling from the line to get Pepto.....and don't even start on her politics!

Cold weather is setting in down here, Ive been working on setting up
new strings on my bow, shooting outside when I can (wind & rain etc.)
Didn't want to side track this post with my 2 cent comments earler.
But did want to say this post got me checking into indoor archery ranges
I can drive to, found one in Hurt about 35 min. drive. But still have to contact
the owners to get details like hr. cost and restrictions or days/hours to shoot.
Anyway really just wanted to say, this post gave me a push to look into this.
So I can shoot right through the winter.
Thanks and sorry about the cornball reply I made.
LOL if they require a suite and tie, I can do that. But that old vest could
tweek my form a bit now, got married in that suite back in 1991.
On a more serious note I did see people mention the removal or space from
the wording of bowhunter and that caught my attention.
That was a far more important issue than the clothing to me.
Maybe I read the post replies wrong, maybe that was not true.
But that's what got my attention.
It's not really stirring the pot when your asking a serious question.
It's more like making people think for themselves.

Wear what you want
Well guys I am a newer member and low poster as I just enjoy reading and never have much to input into threads of much value. Nor does this post so feel free to stop reading here if you wish. But I will say this, I attended the MOAS this weekend in Red Deer and first I would like to say it was a wonderful fun event and myself and my GF (NON shooting spectator) had a great time. I myself chose my standard clothing I felt most comfortable in as i normally shoot alone of with one or two close friends and the thought of shooting in front of 100s had me very nervous before the event started. ( Jeans and a tucked in collared t shirt and cowboy boots), I chose to wear my various PFG (professional fishing gear) shirts as they are light breathable and allow for a lot of movement. I had a few guys inquire as to the brand of shirt and were they could get them because they liked them. But I will say this for the 'other peoples attire affect my shoot enjoyment' , Please feel free to attend any shoot in anything you so choose to do so the people watching we experienced at this shoot was beyond explainable ... I believe a few people could have appeared on the people of walmart website and I think that enhanced my 3d tournament experience. Everyone is different in this world and we should be celebrating that fact not segregating and conforming and uni forming the world. Express yourself how you so see fit to do so I say and personally if the divide in the archery world becomes any more prevalent based on you set up and attire I may invest in some to 'Uniforms' to shoot with say maybe a full guile suit for Friday evening warm up shoots , A camo print tuxedo for Saturday shoots and some of those loud print Swedish style curling pants for Sunday events to serve to purposes 1. give the stuck ups something to be snobby about and take the heat off those who choose to dress how they normally dress and 2. to lighten the mood and provide some humour to those that still posses that sense and go to these shoots for a fun weekend out. ! Anyway just my 2 cents and IMHO thanks for listening to those who made it this far haha ! see you around the shoots ! ill probably still be in my PFG and boots ! haha

The "dress code" issue IMHO is a non issue. The guy who won Provincials in MBR/CFP was wearing a camo shirt with no collar....and he shoots a Hoyt! That alone should get him escorted from the premises!
Then someone else might have a chance at the podium

I agree fully with you Lefty....don't let any Hoyt shooters in...then owners of other bows will have a chance  
Uh oh, now I've done it

I guess I'm not a member of the "audience" (it says)
Can you explain the article in brief?

One of the US team showed up in Turkey for the World Archery Indoor Championships (target) with a new Camo Mathews. They made him spray paint it white in order to shoot. Link was to a video of the bow being painted by the organizers.

Pretty sure that this was a self funded trip for the American Compound team. After spending that much to travel to Turkey to shoot I guess you do what you have to!
The rules were well published to, should have made sure that bows were not included or went with a different bow. Hope the bow works properly, feel bad for the guy. Have a feeling he was just making a point and spray bombed the whole thing.

I am coming at this from a complete different direction. I competed fairly seriously as an Olympic style archer. I got into compounds for hunting. When I shot Olympic style nobody had to be told a dress code because nobody needed to be told. You wore dockers, golf shirt (usually with club name or equipment sponser on it). There was a compound division but it was paper and generally filled with older Olympic shooters who could not hold full draw with a recurve any more.
3D was fringe back then. Hunters playing in their backyards. Then came 3d ranges. And 3d competitions. Still hunters dressed like hunters. But then they wanted into the World Archery / Canada Archery scene. Bigger established tourneys and more esteem. And of course money was involved so Canada Archery happy to standardize rules and cash cheques. But a limited number of backyard shooters had a tendency to show up dressed like they are still in there backyard. Sweatpants and all. And of course the baby got thrown out with the bathwater. Dress codes in effect probably written by Olympic Style archers. And out went the camo.
That being said when I played Junior Hockey and Boxed in university when you travelled to a tourney you wore dress pants, tie and sports jacket. There is nothing wrong with dressing nicely when going to a competition. Save your Sitkas for actually bowhunting.
So....why not get some club golf shirts made...and a pair of dockers. If you go to nationals or whatever you will be within guidelines. Camo does have rednecky conotations (while I write this I am wearing a camo Leupold ballcap) but big shoots are supposed to be somewhat dignified. I for one am getting a bit sick of seeing people come in for job interviews or weddings or supper at a nice restaurant or even at funerals looking like those ridiculous duckhunters on TV. But at the end of the day the Olympic archers were having the touneys first and besides I have never had a 3d target run away cause it saw me coming in dockers.

Everywhere you look nowadays people are wearing camo. I would see a shoot a place to not wear camo. Was at a function the other day that was supposed to be semi-formal attire, and there were 3 people wearing camo. I think camo has lost its meaning.

Archers helping archers, what a wonderful thing. Some obvious form issues that require some resolving. Is that a double jointed elbow? It's bending the wrong way!

I guess a person has to recognize, that the target archery crowd discovered that 3d was fun, and decided to get into it and apply their rules to their shoots. That happened a long time ago. Nothing wrong with that, if the shoot attracts a bunch of people to archery who are not hunters. For the hunting crowd, those are their shoots, those are their rules, you want to shoot their shoots, just remember that their mindset is not necessarily about hunting, just shooting a different discipline of what they see as target archery. And in their world, there are rules that are somewhat different to the hunter's 3d world. You can still shoot 3d's at unmarked and "unknown" ranges, which these days, in a number of cases, are just a glorified target shoot, with a different target, due to the facility they are hosted at.
The guy in Turkey having to paint his bow seems a bit much, but, those were their rules. How clearly they were published, or how well he read them, may be up for debate, which it certainly was, in the original Facebook post.
