JordanGriffith Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 hey guys, I'm getting ready for my first 3 gun match and need some help on shotshell caddies. Currently I'll be borrowing a shell bag from a buddy, but if anyone has any used stuff for sale reasonable that they don't want anymore let me know please. Any advice and pointers would also be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks in advance everyone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 For your first match I'd say just roll the shell bag, have fun and observe the other systems being used. If you let some people know your new and wondering what direction to go for your shotgun loading system you'll find a lot of people will be happy to let you check out their gear. If you do end up going to the Winnequah matches I may have a couple CCW 6 shell caddies somewhere in the bottom of my bag. Assuming someone else hasn't already "borrowed" them long term I'd be happy to lend them out for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 sounds good man. I'm going to try like hell to make that one. How much ammo do you bring for their match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I should add that with the various systems and styles in existence these days your best bet is to try them all out before investing all your lunch money in a big pile of shell holders that you may not like by next season.

TonytheTiger Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Ammo? All of it. Or at least 200 rounds per gun is my favorite minimum. That way the glass seems half full when I bring 100-150 rounds per gun home with me. But there should be some expected round counts posted somewhere online soon. Maybe Facebook? I don't know as I stay away from the big FB. Edited February 19, 2015 by TonytheTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Ok. Any idea on how far the farthest rifle shot is? Do I need any slugs or buckshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Last I heard 100 yards was the average max rifle distance, but I also heard some rumors of new bays being put in there so that could change. Can't say I know about slugs or buck though, I usually bring 25 of each unless I know there will be a lot or none of them used. I have yet to use buck in a match though, and I hope it stays that way.

csailer Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Hi Jordan, I recommend using the Invictus Practical 2.8 Eight Plates. http://www.invictuspractical.com/8ight-plates.html They're made of metal, not plastic. This is one of the features that sets IP apart from all the other brands. The other shell caddy competitors use plastic that breaks and does not hold the shells as well. You can either quad load or load two. This is a great, easy to learn method for beginners or season vets. If you want some solid shell caddies that will last forever and will not let you down, then I would check out Invictus Practical. They make some great stuff. Hope this helps, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanGriffith Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Ok I'll check them out. I might wait and check some out at a match before I make an order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
