The "dress up" is the main reason I have never participated in those games. I don't put on a German staff officer's uniform to shoot a Luger; I don't dress up like a British redcoat to fire my Enfield rifle-musket; I don't don an Italian WWII uniform to fire a Beretta 1934; I don't dress in buckskins to shoot my Bedford County "Kentucky".
Also, since I often go to the range with several guns, my costume would have to be pretty mixed - black German boots, tan buckskin shirt, red coat, green holster - I might be colorful, but I would be lucky if no one called the guys in white coats.
I have quite enough problems with just being me, so I think I will continue to pass on sports that require role playing.
