During live fire, spent cases or shells might come back at you, so wearing proper clothing to protect against that hot case is required. Proper sport clothing is wearing long pants or jeans, closed toe shoes, so no flip flops or sandals. Also wear a T-shirt (crew neck) or button-up shirt with no low-cut neck lines. Also, wearing a hat is highly recommended.
