Are shotgun shell holder vests allowed in 3-Gun? I'm thinking about buying a, Invictus Practical 12 Gauge 24 Round 8ight Clip DeTurk Vest.
Any thoughts on the product?
I asked about shell holders like this. The response was "there was talk about banning them so far nothing has come of it." I'm probably going to get this as it's easy on/easy off. No point carrying a box of shells on your chest if there's no shotgun on that stage
The only thing that bothered me was the possibility of having to shoot the rifle prone with all those shotshell carriers even if they are unloaded. Those things can poke you in spots you didn't know were part of your own body.
I use this vest. Works great. Holds shells tight all the time.
I have never been to any 3-gun match where you can't use it. IPSC, not USPSA, rules don't allow this vest or certain caddies. Not many shoots run these rules. Great for going prone as you can slide it around back when you don't need it. Also, at some matches, you can ditch it. Depends on the match.
Customer support is like Dillon. Break something and Kevin will send you part to fix it.
Vest work great and I have the Invictus 2.8 quads and also the 2.8 for my chest rig. As far as shooting prone with it on is simple, a lot of folks slide it around to the back. You usually have the time to do that when going from one shooting position to another.
