Chard Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 It seems to be school holidays and the time of the year for infantile spaz questions..... So, here's mine. What colour is your skeet vest? Mine is olive green, so the clays can't see me. It's also got a pheasant embroidered on it, so I blend in with a rural background. I've pinned a little green metal badge on it too, which I thought makes me look professional, can't remember what it says though.... How about you? I can't wait to find out what colours you wear Kinnell....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chard Posted July 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 And I thought I was bored It's very important that I know this information......if I think about it long enough, I should be able to think of something really useful that I can do with it. School project perhaps.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) I have three green vests, one blue and one grey and leather. If I want to look like a plonker, I dress in green. If I want to look like a sophisticated plonker, I wear blue. I can't fit in to the grey one - need to lose another few stone.

I think I need to get one of them And when do you wear the leather one? or is that rather personal? :o :yp: :o Edited July 28, 2011 by Chard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I was thinking more of the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, you wave your gun about aimlessly in the air so might as well try and get some music out of you. It's a good job you're his carer Timps yes and I need a pay rise and new seat covers, its a thankless job but someone has to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has since moved on to a Browning vest. If you come across him, you can ask him any personal questions about the leather trim, whilst he picks you up with one hand. Good luck. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you've got bands of flourescent yellow reflective strip round it at 3 inch intervals, so you look like Wally Wasp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have a nice mesh number. I have resisted the urge to have my name embroidered on it as: 1.I know my name. 2 I am not Faulds or Digweed in my shooting ability 3.When I cock up a stand everyone isnt standing behind going oh look its Dibs what a bumder!

JonD Posted July 28, 2011 Report Share Posted July 28, 2011 (edited) What's a skeet vest? What's the best one to make you hit more skeets or does one keep them warm in the winter? Edited July 28, 2011 by JonD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
