Because your competitors will be wearing them. If you are not they will have an advantage over you for that reason. I do think there is a lot to be learned by shooting without a jacket and pants though. As far as lower cost options you can buy used. I just bought an old used pair of pants for $50. They don't look too pretty but I think with a good starching they will suit me fine.

tonio,
You must know one thing first, learn how to shoot a decent score before going off and spending your money on a suit. once you obtain a good score, go and get the suit, but, i warn you. only shoot with the jacket until you are confortable with it. you will notice your scores rising within a day or two of hefty practice. after a couple of weeks go ahead with the shooting pants. they will greatly increase your offhand scores. but, dont rely on your equipment for good scores. the points will come from your ability not the material.

Shooting coats and pants are used partly to act as the shooters safety equipment as well as as a equilizer of clothing. All competetors show up for equipment checks. These checks act to level the playing field. The max tightness of the clothing, thickness, shape, ect. This insures that all are essentially equal. As a piece of safety equipment it protects the lower backs, knees and elbows of shooters. It promotes proper posture and form. They are essential if you wish to compete among the elite.
