Ninety Caliber Al, 50218 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 As most of you , im sure, I have accumulated a large collection of pins from various annual matches over the years. Looking for opinions as to what to do to display them. I’ve had some on my gun cart in times past. Wondering how folks feel about wearing them on your hat?

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Some folks cover their braces with pins, some their hat or vest. That's fine for them, but I prefer to look like a cowboy . My choice would be guncart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yul Lose Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 It’s up to you. I shoot with a few pards that have pins on their hats, no big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I would say no. Display them in your gun room or something similar, otherwise, IMHO, you could end up looking like a Boy Scout wearing his merit badges on his sash.

Sorry, the picture is sideways but this is how I display mine, it's hanging in my office. A friend made it for me. Randy S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Church Key, SASS # 33713 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I hang them in my garage on a 2"X2" board covered with felt. Also hang plaques there. Don't want to clutter clothes with them. Church Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beartrap SASS#57175 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 Go ahead, cover your hat with them. If anyone complains that you don't look "cowboy" enough just tell them you're shooting in the "STEAMPIN" category! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MizPete Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I pin mine to the Scoring Throne. Petey has 20+ yrs worth of match badges on ribbon streamers in his shop. The win buckles are in the downstairs (accidentally cowboy-themed) bathroom. He has some other stuff at his office but I've long-since lost track of what's where.

Buckaroo Bubba Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Mine usually end up in a plastic box where I keep match name badges and such. Unless they are really neat or have a special meaning to me. I like the name badges we have received at the Ohio State Championships the last two years. I have those on my hat along with my IJAFG pin. My suspenders usually hold my SASS badges, Regulator badge, Club badges, Jedi Gunfighter Pin, and Lords Posse Pin.

Black Hills Barb Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 I've got lots of pins, too. Clean matches, match badges, various awards..... They're everywhere. I wear some, some are on the gun cart, I have almost twenty years worth of name badges pinned to a curtain and more pinned to the fabric trim in our camper. I know shooters that prefer to wear no pins except the name badge they get at a match, and others that love to wear as many as they can in any way that they can. The bottom line is, the pins are yours. The clothing, hats, suspenders, etc, are yours too. Enjoy your pins however you want to. My personal preference is not yours and perhaps yours is not mine. Another shooter's lack of "embellishments" does not impact my game any more than the 50 or more pins on another shooters vest or hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Possum Stu Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Mine are currently in a shoebox in the closet, but will shortly be up on the wall behind my reloading bench. I have a couple of clean shoot pins on the band of one hat, but otherwise don’t wear any pins or badges but the name badge for the match I’m shooting in. Nothing against anyone who does different, that’s just what I’ve gotten used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
