In a Marksmanship class once, one particular student was wearing his full hero gear rig. Similar to the picture above. Since the focus of the class was on marksmanship, and not tactics, The Rifleman advised him to remove the rig, so he could shoot better.
His reply - "I want to train like I fight."
My reply - "Understandable. Just realize that until you get the basics of Marksmanship down, all of this gear is going to get in the way. I advise you take it all off so that you can isolate any Marksmanship errors."
He politely refused the advice. Not surprisingly, he did not shoot expert that time. Then, at another clinic, he came to shoot for score again, and he had surprisingly removed all of the hero gear rig. Not surprisingly, with just him and his rifle, he shot expert.
When you are paying an instructor for their advice, it is only logical to heed said advice.
