My comments were about the unpracticed field shot and those with an inflated sense of their skill and knowledge level.
It matters not to me which equipment you select, what you choose to shoot at, or how you are attired.
A safe and proficient hunter is as obvious at the clay target ranges as is his opposite number. I shot with two such fellows today, they did very well indeed and were a pleasure to shoot with.
We don't mind explaining range rules to new shooters, it's rather expected that we will have to even though the simple act of watching a line of skeet or trap before actually signing up to shoot would seem to tell a person most of what they need to know.
My beef is with those who don't observe, who don't ask, and who can't read the ugly signs we are required to post for just such people. Like it or not, it's the once a year shooter we have to keep an eye on.
