ABSTRACT:
Shooter's hat comprising a crown portion and an integral bill and side blinder assembly, in which the bill is characterized as being short and wide, and the side blinders are rigid but bendable forms to suit the needs of the shooter. The side blinders are characterized by having forward and rearward relieved arcuate portions, the forward portion providing wider visible flight path and the rearward portion preventing side vision distractions and light blockage without interfering with facial anatomy. The side blinders also have a lower lobe approximately coordinate with the eye position, in a front-to-back orientation, that extends below the eye socket to approximately the level of the cheek bone. As compared to the long bill loose fabric flaps of the prior art, the hat provides necessary shielding from sun and distracting peripheral light or activities, yet does not unduly restrict the angle of vision of the target flight path. The prior art hat loose side flaps can blow in the wind and move with the motion of the shooter's head, thus causing distractions and blocking the vision, which are avoided by the construction of the invention.
