Wearing a name tag is nothing like patronizing a anti-gun business. Never will be no matter what spin you try and put on it. Heck name tags are a good thing so people know who is who. And lets get for real. If you have such thin skin that , that post hurt your feelings maybe you need to reconsider being on a public forum. Hell I sure hope the feller from across town doesn't say anything to you your feelings are sure going to be hurt. Never mind he was nice to ya. As we say as a Marine....."Suck it up buttercup!"

Cholla Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I don't understand why wearing a nametag is so controversial. The majority of SASS shooters have their alias and SASS numbers emblazoned on their gun belts, hatbands, gun carts, rifle stocks, buckles, and countless other do-dads hanging on their person.

Maybe "some" are unpleasant internet blowhards and would prefer no one knows who they are? Or they think that "compliance" is encroachment on their rugged individualism? Afterall - its starts with name badges, but then it's men hugging other men, having drinks around the campfire after dark - and the next thing you know; it's long soapy showers in the RV park, cats and dogs sleeping together, pillars of salts, Sodom and Gomorrah...

No, SHOCKED! Shocked, and dismayed to learn that you would joke about such a thing. That's the only way I can put it. For I have it under good authority that Reynolds heavy duty aluminum foil is the preferred medium of many of the top gun shooters around the country. Matter of fact, you'll find it for sale a lot of times on vendor row. Something about helping them direct their energy and ensuring that they have fewer misses. Or something like that.

I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that the layout for the badge in whatever software is used to create it, there is a window of area for the name that is however big you want to make it. Then the software makes the font whatever size it needs to be for each alias to be able to fit in that window. Probably with an option to use more than one line.

Aluminum foil wont block the Lizard people. It has to be tinfoil - the aluminum foil myth was started by Big Illuminati from their base on the icy edge of the flat earth just to confuse people. I've seen you at the ritual meetings wherein we slather the thirteen sacred AA shotshells with scented hand sanitizer to ensure their purity - while chanting "Don't fence me in" and sparking our spurs on the ground. So you should know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dungannon Gunner Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I am against the no badge policy! The way it is now I can stare for quite some time at a cowgirl’s badge to access her name before saying hello to her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally flew-in from Madison Wisconsin on Thursday night, and back to Atlanta on Saturday after lunch. My industry is very busy, racing against future interest rate hikes and commodity prices, before the bubble bursts. Let's hope we can just last until the mid-terms. See you on down the trail !

Eyesa Horg Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Taz at Klassic Laser Works does our badges. He makes sure the longest name fits and goes from there. They always seem readable to me.

At EOT last years, saw a number of shooters I know and have shot with but had not seen them for a year or two ....or three. It sure would have been nice if their name was big enough to see. But it was not to be. All kinds of other information on the name tag and name just too small to see. After all, it is a NAME tag. Maybe you couldn't read the tag because of all the water running down your face from the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Speaking of name badges, I made 4 nearby annuals last year, and all the badges (and some of the awards) were wood. I guess that must be a cost saver, plus lets you get whatever shape you want. When I started, annuals usually gave you a leather badge of one shape or another with a little leather cord on it, and handed you a sharpie to write your alias on it.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 I have to admit that at some matches and other events where I have run across the same people numerous times, I have been pretty embarrassed that I still don't know their name. I'll hear different names but not quite place which person that is. I'm hampered with poor hearing and miss some opportunities when I could hear someone else address the person. I like it when they just use those paper tags with your name that sticks to your shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
