Dunkield Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I would have thought you only need to carry enough cartridges for that stand + a couple more for no-birds etc? How about a line for those who shoot FITASC? I have a Beretta vest and I would say it is almost perfect, it just has cartridge double pockets on both front sides, a pocket for shades, a pocket for a pen etc. Ask any fly fisherman, the more pockets you have the more unnecessary junk you carry.. IMO you don't need anything else, but I like to keep things nice and simple me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would rather carry 3 or 4 boxes of carts in a bag than in a jacket or vest - at least I can put the heavy bag down. And it will only get lighter! I guess a velco/button loop to hold your ear defenders could be handy. I use ear plugs and find the inside pockets perfect for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 I prefer to have my carts in pockets other wise with a bag for carts, slip and often a claymate you run out of hands.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 My Skeet vests will hold 100 shells in the front 2 pockets - more if I cram, but they feel too bulky. Pockets for 50 shells only - not double pockets. I have never seen the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 'JonD' 2 or 3 plastic D links either side to hang towels, pick up sticks etc off Don't make the cartridge pockets to fit flush on the larger sizes so you have to fight you way into them. Drink bottle holder with liner, think Lucozade Sport, water etc. Velcro hoop area on the front and back so you can change badges between shoots. Choke tube pockets. 'HDAV' Somewhere to put your car keys that dont get in the way. Glasses pocket big enough for safety/shooting specs 'cookoff013' bigger flat pocket for shotgun licence. on inside, + wallet 'mrbritish1976' what do you all think of this design with an extra cartridge pocket at the rear? Don't like. 'mrbritish1976' the pockets are double pockets Only singles necessary. 'hillmouse' Perhaps a pen slot in the top pocket? A more generous "pie eaters" flap on the zipper so you can allow for the extra layers on cold days better than most makes do. 'Dunkield' I would have thought you only need to carry enough cartridges for that stand + a couple more for no-birds etc? How about a line for those who shoot FITASC? All the above sum it up for me. In (thick) fabric for winter and (thin) fabric/mesh for summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerH Posted October 15, 2010 Report Share Posted October 15, 2010 whatn colours ?all one colour or keep the 2 tone? Keep the two tone I'm just not a fan of blue... Eventually you would have different colours if volume allowed? Cheers Roger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDAV Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 will you be doing left handed versions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Bb Posted October 16, 2010 Report Share Posted October 16, 2010 Will they be affordable? Unlike certain "branded" ones where the "badge" apparently costs £50+ when they should be paying you to advertise their wares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 At that price you're in direct competition with TG, Jack Pyke, etc. There's even a real leather one available online for £45. You'll have to offer something special that they're not, I wish you luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg55599 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Share Posted October 17, 2010 just a quick note that for clays you cant change chokes on a registered shoot (even though i often see others do this) so you wouldnt really need to take spare chokes in your vest for clays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
