| I am pleased to report that I met some of our Society members at the recent Ohio State Vintage Skeet Shoot. makes me wonder if we shouldn't consider a lapel pin [or ?] to help recognize fellow members at functions of this sort. |

Geeze Hal you really travel in an upper crust crowd if they wear cloths with lapels. I just don't think lapel pins would be very comfortable on a T-shirt.
But seriously I do understand the desirability of some form of identification and that baseball hats are not always appropriate attire (excerpt in the social circle I travel in. |

| It was just a thought. I mentioned the lapel pin because they are small, inexpensive, and inconspicuous. We have shell bags, but I rerely carry mine. Ball caps are okay--but I would prefer to avoid cammo or blaze orange. |

Perhaps a decal to place on our gunstock or barrels?
I still prefer the pin idea! |

Being a member of several diferent clubs I can say that the ball cap is the most popular method of display - stickers are second
I have too many hats already, stickers are good but I'm not gonna slap one on my stock...
The pin idea has merit - lapel, hat, coat, etc. - simple, discreet, classy - kinda like this site.
Or we could start wearing ascots and smoking pipes with a 16  |

| Seems to me the guns we carry speak for themselves. Of course, If i see one of those nifty little bags that we all get when we join, it's a dead give-away. |

I like the hat or lapel pin idea. Then again, how about more of a causal dress shirt? Long sleeved, collard, buttend shirt, with the 16ga Society logo on the left chest, above a pocket. Maybe a choice of a couple of different styles (cotton solid color, bluejean, or shooting style with quilted sholder patch and/or forarms).
Could always go with the old "Hooty-Hoo" call when entering a room, or gathering area. |

I go with nossman on the shirts. I don't like to wear a hat if I can help it. I still have most of my hair and like to show it off do to good living.
But the pin Idea is also good. I like. |

-just don't make us SMOKE the things 
Whoa nellie that's WAY too much class for this Kansas boy. Would that go with 16GG's lederhosen? 
(I guess matching lederhosen would be out of the question?
