When I shoot I always wear a vest. It seems that my Henry, which has a pointed lower butt plate eventually wears a hole in the lower right shoulder corner (more in the pectoral muscle) that increases in size over time. I'm tired of buying a new vest every couple of years. I was wondering if it is legal to put a thin leather patch over the hole to extend the life of the vest or would this be considered illegal. Inquiring minds want to know.

I took a look through Sections 9 and 20 of the Skirmish Rules, I don't see anything against it. Especially as you would be making a repair of a piece of uniform, not adding padding or anything of that sort.

Thats what I thought. I just don't want to do it if it is going to be a problem.

I would ask the IG, the Rules Committee, and/or the Uniform Committee for a ruling in writing. It could possibly save you some hassle on the line of dealing with a lesser informed individual.
Just my thoughts.

But you still can't wear shorts at the Spring Nationals.
Yes. He can, as he is working the Nationals. My two cents.

What's the tax in New York on your two cents?
Dear Redman, allow me to discuss this issue with the Rules Committe Chairman at the Board meeting this weekend and I will send you a message with our answer.

Aaah jeez Wade,
I hope they don't outlaw patches on pants.

A cloth pad (not a commercially made recoil pad) sewn inside of a shirt or even a vest is N-SSA legal as long as it is not visibly exposed. Rich Foster
