Hats to wear hunting

I have finally found a hat that I can wear whilst shooting my recurves and not be put off by feeling the string touch the brim when I anchor.It is a German army field cap,it has a nice small peak to shade your eyes and doe,s not touch the string.It only cost $5 from my local disposals shop.
