Nice gams

A little over a month ago a rattle snake slithered by us at the pistol range at Burro Canyon. I don't know if pants would help reduce the risk of a fatal bite, but its something to consider. A tall pair of hiking or combat boots might be a better preventative measure.

After seeing it slither by, I realized how easy it would be to step on one, it was pretty well camouflaged with all the rocks and dirt on the ground. Ever since then I try to remind myself to look down and watch the ground when I'm walking out to set up my target at the out door ranges.

Ya pants wont stop that snake bite...that is a scary site to see while shooting. thanks for making me paranoid now!

* I wear shorts all the time. If someone comments I'll show them the temp gauge on my phone. You shoot better when your comfortable, & Safe.
I would never wear flip flops to the range, but shorts, t-shirt, sneakers is a GO . . . We're in CALI !

fwiw:
I wear what most would wear doing work around the house on a weekend to the range.
Why, I'm not going to impress anyone there. I go to print on paper, only thing I strive to impress is = "My" Paper
I look at the Indoor Range the same way I as the Gym: Its for practice, maintenance, etc. = Keeping Sharp. I'm not suit'd & boot'd unless I'm coming from a work meeting . . . Only difference, I dont smell as much at the Indoor Range

Sorry.

But yeah we were extremely paranoid the whole day after that. What was crazier was the little bastard disappeared under the parked cars

We see the occasional rattler on the range and, of course, are prohibited from shooting it. There's also a family of deer that comes grazing on the property, despite the shooting. Somehow they instinctively know they're safe; we're all told to cease fire until they move on. We're not worried about deer bites, though.

I think proper underwear is the important point. If there is any chance of tripping over the tripod, bunch it up.

It depends on how nice your legs are. If they are hairy scrawny chicken legs, then they are a hazard.

Or the type of shorts. I mean are we talking Bruce Jenner Magic Johnson Daisy Dukes or Michael Jordan length?

i can see a new CA law brewing: "while firing any rifle or handgun, one shall not wear shorts, speedo's, thongs, underwear, sandals, flip flops, or any comfortable piece of clothing."

Evil features require the use of at least 3 button buttons.

Heck, I wore this and plaid shorts trap shooting on Father's Day and only had a million people ask where they could get the shirt . I cannot believe people give you a hard time for wearing shorts...

[coy80176]

just as long as you're not wearing "daisy dukes"

....if your webos and pockets hang below the shorts, it's a problem for everyone

Your face would have been fine, thanks for not showing us the plaid shorts!
White socks and Birkenstocks too, no doubt

[Grumpyoldretiredcop]

Taking a knee on some upturned brass is probably the worst thing you face besides being picked on for your legs...

It is funny that this came up now, as I just got done reading an letter in Front Sight (the USPSA magazine) which was titled, "Draw the Line! No Short Shorts!", commenting on the brevity of shorts being worn by some shooters and how that detracted from the "family" nature of USPSA.

My take is that as long as you wouldn't have a problem with your children seeing it, it shouldn't be a problem. I do draw the line at plaid, though.
