Shooting vests?

[Jaywalker]

I'm shooting more - starting to learn Sporting Clays - and I find a vest would be useful to hold shells and other things, and have shoulder pocket to hold a recoil pad. Any ideas at reasonable prices?

Browning, Beretta, Bob Allen, Cabela's and similar are inexpensive. One can get mesh, solid cloth, leather or cloth pads, some can utilize a recoil pad insert. If you reload, a section in the back for empties is useful.

All you need/$35 on Midway or Amazon
Get size larger (at least) than regular shirt
(2X for over winter wear)

Thanks. Ordered a Beretta vest and pad from Cole's. Vest was on sale at $35. Oddly, they must see a lot of vest emergencies - cheapest shipping is Priority Mail.

For posterity, the Beretta vest was unsuitable for me.

First, the Size Large was slightly below Medium in American sizing. I could zip it, but it was tight.

Second, I didn't like the zipper pull being on the wrong side. Apparently, that's common on Italian vests.

Third, the ShockEater recoil pad would need to be pinned in place to prevent it from flopping around the large Beretta's shoulder pocket per the ShockEater web site.

I've returned it and re-ordered a Wild Hare vest.
