Decent but inexpensive shooting vest?

[Lamski]

Are there any decent shooting vests out there that are also inexpensive? I'm new to clay shooting and would like something to get started. Something lightweight, breathes well, holds at least 25 shells, and has a recoil pad in the shoulder would be nice. And hopefully won't fall apart after 5 uses.

It will be used for shooting clay only, no hunting.

Are you sure no hunting? Not much more money and dual function.

Cabela has the Airshot shooting vest on sale for $48 + .01cent shipping with code 84PENNY. It's one of their lightweight versions.

I have the Cabela X100 shooting vest which is slightly heavier in weight than the Airshot but I like this model this in terms of fit and function. It's on sale for $69 + .01cent shipping with code 84PENNY.

If you're in the area, Coyote Sporting Clay's in Morgan Hill has a full rack of Brownings and Beretta vests you can try out.

Any place that sells shotguns should sell vests too, as well as Bass Pro and Cabela's.

That looks good to me.

Wearing vest must be a trap or sporting clays thing, because us skeet shooters hardly ever wear them. I'm going to say 10% use vest, rest of us get a fancy Alligator skin leather pouch with matching belt and a old t-shirt, pants optional

I us a cheap Beretta Silver Pigeon, it comes with the recoil pad but it is not the mesh type design. If you prefer the mesh type for summer shooting (I usually shoot in the morning so not having the mesh is ok for me), they have a new two-tone design that is pretty good looking: http://www.amazon.com/Beretta-Mens-T...+shooting+vest

I might pick one of these up anyway because they're so good looking.

Academy has a nice one for 17 bucks. It has shell loops, extra pockets, an empties pouch on the back, and D rings for hanging towels. I think it even has inner shoulder pockets for a recoil pad if you use one.
