Reading through my copy of the lates DGJ, I noticed, not for the first time that the photos of American shooters showed them all to be dressed in day-glo orange.
Here in the UK, we tend to wear tweeds for formal shoots and may go to greens, browns (fleeces, moleskins, barbours etc) or ex-army cammo for rough shooting or wildfowling.
Is it the law in the USA to wear such clothing or just the choice of the majority? Interesting to note the different cultures.
The authorities here are now beginning to recommend that beaters wear an item of day-glo but it is not really catching on. The sfety issue is theoretical as we have the lowest number of shooting accidents of just about anywhere in the world.
Is safety in good training or day-glo vests? Or both?
