skeet vest

[Santa2512]

I can't believe that people have just one skeet vest. At the very least surely the most stylish change the colour of your shooting vest? 

I've been shooting a year and have four skeet vests, only two of which are utterly hideous.

Man - One vest   Alll disciplines / All weathers  

Holiday travel 1 week   - 7 pairs of socks, 7 pairs of boxers,  7 T shirts, 2 pairs of shoes & a credit card

Woman  - 40 vests , 3 for each discipline / one for each season ,  plus a backup in case one breaks,  or someone else has the same vest , or was at a shoot the  year previously, and may remember you were wearing the lilac leopard print one

Holiiday travel 1 week  - 21 pairs of tights (2x per day & backup pair in handbag)  Nickers the same !  16 dresses, 16 tops  3 coats  9 pairs of shoes  3 credit cards  all empty,  2 xxx large suitcases  Towels  make up kit  & 2 handbags   (just in case) 

Sound familiar

Have a basic Beretta vest thats lasted 26 years, had a Musto one with the double zips that didnt last 26 months before it fell to bits, just bad luck I guess, would add that now have also a Musto jacket that I like to wear every day when out shooting and I defo wouldn't part with it

The sporting lodge website has got some great deals with Beretta vests at the moment, they include a recoil Gel pad... Different colours available.

Top gun. The style I bought is discontinued and they are selling them off at £30, I payed £62. Very comfy, practical also has the aforementioned fat flap ..

I got one for £29.99...it comes with the said Fat Flap" too ...not that I need it yet tbh...may need to get a few more of her majesty the wife's Yorkshire puddings down me to make use of that! :biggrin:

I would like to point out the fat flap can go both ways its use is not mandatory..

chicken curry no worry

Great price and style but only good for multiple world champions - no stocks of mortal sizes. :yell:

What "a bit tight" or pockets too deep.

Both!!! .

If you were in the English sporting team for the HI in Northen Ireland you'd get £350 team funding, the Scotland team got £0...made wearing the Scotland vest VERY expensive!!!

That's a joke whoever made the final decision not to even help a wee bit (Bit of Scottish there) needs a kick up the proverbial back side IMO I have never met a Scott who is nothing other then generous (snigger snigger).

That's just the way it is Shaun, we have a raffle at every sporting/FITASC shoot, that knocked a bit off the hotel bill, banquet ticket gets paid for you by the Assosiation...but all your travel and the hotel balance is your responsibility...bloody ferry cost me £180 to take the car!!!

That's a very bitter pill to swallow! I guess we are all aware of the costs involved with this sport and unfortunately unless you are lucky enough to have a generous sponsor then your on your own, oddly enough my cousin was a pro golfer a few years back and although he had sponsors and prize money of over £100.000 a year on average it was well short of whats needed so he gave up. its not just shooting that costs a small fortune. :fie:

I agree with you both, I know quite a few that don't bother with the home international scene coz it's just to costly to bother with.
