Why Custom Shooting Shirts Have Collars and Long Sleeves
Walk into any range or onto any clays course and you will see the same shirt over and over. A long sleeve button-down, usually in khaki, stone or olive. That is not a style choice someone made in an office. It comes from what happens on the line.
What the Shirt Does on the Line
Brass leaves a semi-automatic hot and goes wherever it wants, including down the collar of the person in the next lane. A collar that buttons up closes that gap. Long sleeves keep the sun off forearms during a long afternoon of sporting clays and keep briars off a hunter walking a fence line.
A button-down also tells people who works there. When a new shooter walks in nervous and not sure where to stand, a matching collared shirt with Range Safety Officer stitched on the chest answers the question of who to listen to before they have to ask.
Where the Logo Should Go
A shotgun shooter needs a clean shoulder where the stock sits, so keep the stitching away from that spot. Left chest is the usual home for a club logo, but if half your squad shoots left handed, ask before you lock it in.
A shooting vest worn over the shirt hides a chest logo. A small mark on the sleeve or a wider one across the back yoke stays visible on the line. Many clubs do both, the chest for the clubhouse and the sleeve for the field.
Once your logo is set up for the chest of a button-down, the same file goes onto the front of a cap with no changes. A larger version of the art can go on the back of a member tee, where ink has room to carry more detail than thread does.
Shooting Range Apparel We Make
Embroidered Button-Downs
Long sleeve twill, vented and flannel button-downs with your logo stitched on the chest, sleeve or back yoke, for staff, officers and squads.
Stitched Club Caps
Structured caps and trucker hats with the club mark on the front panel. The piece every member wears to the range, the blind and the hardware store.
Printed Member Tees
Screen printed tees and hoodies for members, match days and fundraiser shoots, where a big detailed graphic on the back makes sense.

See the Price for Your Whole Staff
Pick the shirt, drop in the logo and set your count. The price shows as you go, so you can weigh the twill against the vented shirt without filling out a form.
Mix Sizes in One Run
Every size you order counts toward the 24. A range staff from small to triple extra large is still one order with one logo, and the per-piece price drops as the count grows.
A Proof Before Thread
You get a proof showing the logo on the shirt with thread colors called out. Nothing goes on a machine until you say it looks right.
Faded Patches Welcome
A twenty year old club patch, a hand drawn sketch or a blurry photo of the old sign is enough to start. We redraw it so it stitches clean.
A Person Picks Up
Someone answers the phone weekdays, 9am to 5pm Mountain. Call with questions about fabrics, logo size or whether a date is possible.
When to Order Trap Shooting Shirts and Club Gear
Shooting has seasons, and the shirts need to arrive before each one starts. Count back about 14 days from proof approval, then add time to settle the art and collect sizes, because that part always takes longer than the stitching.
Trap and skeet leagues tend to start up in spring. Collect sizes from the squads over the winter and order trap shooting shirts before the first league night, not after it.
Hot months are when the vented button-down earns its place. Order the summer staff shirts in late spring, while the counter is still quiet enough to count heads.
Charity shoots and sporting clays fundraisers cluster in the fall. Sponsor logos take time to collect, so start the art early and leave the shirts room to arrive.
Hunting clubs and duck camps want flannel button-downs and caps in hand before the season opens. Order in late summer and the camp is set when the birds arrive.
Indoor ranges run all year and get busiest when the weather turns, so a fall reorder of staff shirts keeps the counter looking sharp through the winter rush.
Gun Club Shirts and Range Safety Officer Shirts
There is no single best shooting shirt, because a range counter in January and a clays course in July ask for different things. We stock long sleeve button-downs in three kinds, and every one of them is embroidered. We do not screen print on button-downs. Thread sits better on woven fabric and lasts as long as the shirt.
The twill button-down is the everyday shirt for gun range staff. It is a cotton and polyester blend that resists wrinkles, holds a chest logo without puckering and comes in a wide run of sizes. Hunter, stone and navy look right behind a counter and on an outdoor line, and the shirt comes out of the wash ready to wear.
The vented button-down is for heat. It is a light, quick drying shirt with a mesh vent across the back and sun protection woven in, made for a long afternoon on an open course. A premium version from a name brand outdoor line is on the shelf too, for clubs that want the guide shirt look.
The flannel is the hunting club shirt. It is a soft cotton blend with two flap pockets, in olive and black, army green and brown and black. It works for cold mornings at the range, a deer camp group shirt or a duck club that wants something warmer than a tee for the walk out before sunrise.
Some clubs end up with more than one. Staff wear the twill, the summer league gets the vented shirt and the hunting side of the club takes the flannel, all carrying the same logo, so the whole membership looks like one club even when it is spread across three different activities.
Outfitting a Range or a Whole Club
Tell us about the range or the club, the staff titles you need on the chest and when the season opens. We will quote the shirts, caps and tees together.
Colors, Safety Orange and What We Do Not Make
Earth tones win in shooting apparel for practical reasons. Khaki, stone, olive and hunter green hide dust from the parking lot and powder residue from the bench, and they look at home on a course or in a field. Navy and black suit indoor range staff who want a sharper look behind the counter.
Hunters ask about blaze orange every season. We can stitch a cap or print a tee in an orange color for camp and general wear, but those are not certified hunter orange. We do not make certified blaze orange safety gear, so buy that from a source that rates it for the law in your state.
We also do not make shooting vests, shooting jackets, sublimated competition jerseys or camo patterned prints, and we do not sew patches onto finished garments. What we make is the layer underneath all of that, the button-down with your club on the chest, plus the caps and tees that go with it.
For artwork, a clean shape stitches best. A clay target, a pair of crossed barrels, a duck in flight or a club monogram reads clearly at chest size. Fine script, long mottos and tiny text fill in when stitched, so we will simplify a busy patch and keep the detailed version for the back of a printed tee.
Questions From Ranges and Clubs
Is there a minimum order for custom shooting shirts?
Yes. Olive Branch Apparel in Fort Collins, Colorado embroiders custom shooting shirts from 24 pieces per design, meaning one shirt style in one color with any mix of sizes. Officer shirts and member shirts can share one logo file, and they count as one run only when they are the same shirt in the same color. Production takes about 14 days from proof approval, and UPS Ground shipping to any US address is included in the price.
Can you print on the button-downs instead of embroidering?
No. Every button-down we make is embroidered, because thread suits woven fabric and outlasts a print on a collared shirt. If you want a large printed graphic, put it on a member tee or hoodie and keep the stitched logo for the button-downs.
Where should the logo go on trap shooting shirts?
Left chest is standard, but keep the stitching away from the spot where the stock meets your shoulder. If your squad wears vests, add a sleeve logo or a back yoke logo so the club name still shows on the line.
Which button-down is best for a hot summer shoot?
The vented button-down. It is light, dries fast, has a mesh vent across the back and blocks sun on your arms. The twill is the better pick for indoor staff and cooler months, and the flannel is for hunting camp and cold mornings.
Do you make certified hunter orange shirts or hats?
No. We can make a cap or tee in an orange color for camp and casual wear, but it is not certified hunter orange and does not replace it where the law requires it. Buy your certified safety gear from a supplier that rates it.
Do you make shooting vests or competition jerseys?
No, we do not make shooting vests, shooting jackets or sublimated competition jerseys. We make the embroidered button-down that goes under the vest, plus caps and printed tees, so a club can match its logo across everything it wears.
How far ahead should we order for league season?
Standard turnaround is about 14 days from proof approval. Add a week or two for collecting sizes and settling the art, so start about a month before the first league night or the season opener. If a date is tight, ask and we will tell you honestly.
Will our detailed club patch stitch well on a shirt?
Usually it needs simplifying first. Fine lines, small lettering and long mottos fill in when stitched at chest size. We redraw the patch into bolder shapes for embroidery and keep the full detail for printed tees, where ink holds it.
How much do custom shooting shirts with our club logo cost?
The shirt, the number of logo spots and the count you order decide it. The studio shows the per-piece price live while you build the order, and shipping to your range or club is already inside that price.
Why order club shirts from a shop instead of a big online printer?
A person in Fort Collins answers weekdays 9 to 5 Mountain and can talk through placement around a shooting vest or a stock. You approve a proof first, faded club patches get redrawn, and shipping to your range is already in the price.
