loriusgarrulus Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 When the warm weather came I swapped from my thicker cord shooting vest to a mesh one. Not much padding on it so put a gel pad in the top pocket. Every time I took it off the gel pad fell out. Nearly lost it a couple of times and they are not cheap. Didn't want to put a button or press stud on as didn't fancy the imprint of it on my shoulder. Finally hit on the idea of using a small shoe lace sewn above the top of the pocket as the pocket is mesh the lace just passes through the holes and tied with a bow to stop the pad falling out, but allows the pad to be easily removed for the vest to be washed.

Rupert Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Bad luck to wash your vest mid season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Bad luck to wash your vest mid season. Don't think the clay pigeons have a season, not on live game yet. Remind me not to get downwind of Rupert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 So why are the Olympic disciplines all 24 grams if they do not break clays ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Even 21g break clays. Haven't a clue why Olympics is 24g. Not planning on going shooting at the Olympics as left it a bit to start training for that at 58. I am planning on going hunting eventually and the jump between 28g and 32g is not as big as 24g to 32g. My instructor recommended going to 28g so I will stick with his advice. .

HDAV Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) Well you just peel It off and reapply as needed, haven't washed my skeet vest ever.... Is that bad? Edited July 28, 2014 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted July 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Stand it in a corner. If it stays upright it probably needs washing. If it heads for the door squeaking it has probably biologically evolved and is beyond washing. Think not washing things is a man thing. Have to prize some old favourites off OH to wash them.
