Why do recurve archers wear bucket hats?

[Qnnrad]

Standing straight in sun whole day makes you want the all-round cover.
+1 for the cowboy hat with the groove for string!

Honestly, if I were asked the question....
I'd probably say : " because the Koreans wear them"...

[domovoibutler]

Oh, the Colombian girl! I recognize that color combination and think of Valentina Acosta Giraldo every time!

I wear the bucket hat because when I draw my bow the string doesn't stop on the rim, but the cap does for me. And I also wear it to stop my bang (hair) from falling into my eyes when it's windy or to block the sunlight.

I would like to buy one of those korena Hats, they look so comfy and smooth... <3

I realy want to see someone wear a hoodie at the olympics if that's even allowed

[supertriton]

Haha. I think they look pretty good. But just like the other dude, I don’t think they’d look good on me.

But koream archers wear bucket hats in both recurve and compound

[Simbobwayson]

[irfanm]

Are you kiding me? Where's Jean-Charles Valladont cowboy hat??

[theodoregabranth]

I don't like caps and used bucket hats looks dapper with those curves :D

Я нИ разу не спортсмен. Люблю стрелять из лука и люблю бейсболки. Как то раз, вместо своей "5.11" одел панамочку, еще советского пошива. Удивлению не было предела ! Как с УАЗика на СУБАРик пересесть ! Панамки рулят !
