Being comfortable while participating in shooting activities is not only safer, being comfortable contributes to being a better shooter.
Feet:
Wear a pair of thin silk or polypropylene socks.
Ladies have the option of wearing “footies” or “socklets” , these being the nylon hose that just come up to the ankle.
Feet sweat year round.
By wearing a pair of these thin socks first, moisture is wicked away from skin, and into cotton sock.
Socks sticking to skin, leads to blisters.
Those that do a lot of hiking are familiar with this concept.
Shooters no matter the discipline can benefit as well.
Face:
A shotgun is properly mounted to the face.
Repeat.
One mounts a shotgun to the face.
One old tip is to apply dry shaving power, which comes in a stick form, to one’s shooting side of face.
Ladies, you too can benefit from this.
The gun does not stick to the face, therefore allowing the gun to slide, both in mounting to face and during recoil curve.
Rifle shooters, benefit from this as well.
Unlike talcum powder, cornstarch (baby powder) this dry shaving stick does not get into ones eyes, nose and mouth in application.
Body:
Baby powder, which is talcum, cornstarch or a blend of both, is useful.
Just like feet, clothes sticking and rubbing can cause blisters.
Men and women are built different, and respective differences and the under garments worn due to difference, can and will rub and cause discomfort.
Ladies are often best advised to wear softer Sports Bras, for instance. Even so, with the more natural fibers such as cotton, the use of baby powder assists in sports bras not causing chaffing and discomfort.
Men, benefit as well using baby powders with Fruit of the Looms, be they boxer, or briefs.
One area many men and women both over look, is around the waist.
Shotgunners are most often more aware of this, as they move their bodies in shooting.
Other disciplines will benefit as well.
The use of a baby powder to one’s body assists all shooters of any discipline in being cooler and more comfortable.
Each one-Teach one.
