I was wondering what the best type of baclava is for the range. Nomex or Cotton? Nomex is flame retardent but cotton breathes.hinking.gif

You mean balaclava?

Baklava is a sweet delicious pastry made from honey and pistachio

Damn, wouldn't all that honey get stuck in your hair?

Why do you need to wear one in the first place? Are you afraid someone will identify you?

Yes, thanks. Balaclava. I'm a newbie, not much experience shooting. Just got my Colt ar15 and shot it today.

Probably some of that Surplus Greek stuff. It's tuff under fire.

This time of year, I would go with the cooler cotton. That is unless someone else at the range is trying to napalm your ass.

T-shirt, shorts, sandals.

Why the hell do you wanna go to the range dressed like a terrorist/JBT?

I like to be comfortable when I shoot. The guys who think they have to wear fatigues with trousers bloused above their $5 Surplus store jungle boots just to go to the range really crack me up.

T-Shirt

Blue Jeans

Sneakers

Sunscreen

After 24 years of shooting at local ranges, I've noticed that the cool guys are the guys dressed in casual wear who can shoot their cool toys well. The tool guys wear combat boots, tac vests and the cheapest current issue BDUs they can afford.

If you want to dress-up and play tactical, join an airsoft club.

To answer your original question: Nomex. Not only are the balaclavas used by tac entry teams for keeping their IDs private, they also serve as protection if they have to work in a burning building or with explosives.

Thanks talbalos! I just asked because I see alot of pics posted on these boards of guys dressed like they are on a SWAT team. I though maybe there was a reason for it.

Holy Shit, I went to the range here in South GA yesterday at 0800, it was already 85 in the shade, dang lucky I didn't strip down to my briefs let alone wearing anything not absolutely necessary.

Here I am in my Tac attire.
