The 144 inches only applies to a vest or jacket or coat or whatever. That hat would be visible for 360 but I wouldn't risk it simply because it says of solid color. Personally I don't need a law to make me be visible to the other idiots in the woods. If im out there and get shot it wont be because I wasn't wearing orange. It might be. In fact, I have a theory that orange only makes you a better target. Half the folks out there, or more, don't carry binoculars. So they see an orange blip and (guess what) you're in the cross hairs while they investigate. I also have a second theory, deer can see orange. That one actually isn't a theory, it's a fact, I've seen it happen too many times. Why would you need binoculars if you have a scoped rifle?

So you’re not pointing your rifle at some one if you’re not sure about what you’re seeing

So that you DO NOT POINT A LOADED RIFLE AT A TARGET YOU HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED!! This is what causes these alleged hunting accidents your hear about every year, which was really a DUMBPHUCK pointing his rifle at a target not identified. Scopes are for aiming your weapon.
