Heard the Shot Morale Patch

Heard the Shot Patch

This morale patch carries an old marksman's line: "If you heard the shot... you were never the target." A morale patch is a small, informal insignia that shooters, soldiers and gear collectors use to add some personality to a pack, cap, range bag or plate carrier. This one suits precision rifle shooters, hunters and anyone with a dry sense of humor about long-range work.

Features

• Molded PVC Construction — The patch is molded in flexible PVC rubber, which holds its shape and color better than embroidered thread when it gets wet or dirty.
• Raised 3D Lettering — The slogan stands up from the background in dark charcoal letters with a sage green outline, so it reads clearly from a distance.
• Precision Rifle Graphic — A bolt-action rifle with a magnified scope, adjustable stock and suppressor runs across the center between the two lines of text.
• Earth-Tone Color Scheme — Tan, sage green and charcoal keep the design subdued, so it sits comfortably on coyote, OD green or multicam gear.
• Stitched Border — A stitched line runs around the raised edge and frames the design.
• Rectangular Format — The landscape rectangle shape fits standard patch panels on packs, caps and carriers.

Look and Build

The design uses layered PVC, with the rifle and lettering molded at different heights so they catch light and cast small shadows. The colors stay muted rather than bright, which makes the patch an easy fit on field and range kit. It is a commercial piece sold under the Rothco catalog, not military issue.
