FAQ's - Clay Pigeon Shooting Jackets
Q: What’s the difference between a shooting vest and a shooting jacket?
A: A shooting vest is lightweight and sleeveless, ideal for summer and fast movement. A shooting jacket provides extra warmth, protection, and recoil support — perfect for cooler weather or shooters who prefer a full-coverage garment.
Q: Can I use a Reisto® shooting jacket for game or field shooting?
A: Yes — while they are designed with clay pigeon shooting in mind, their styling and functionality make them just as suitable for field and outdoor use.
Q: How should I choose the right size?
A: We recommend choosing your normal jacket size. If you often layer up underneath in colder months, consider going one size larger for comfort. Check sizing guide on the product page for confirmation.
Q: What makes a good clay pigeon shooting jacket?
A: A good clay pigeon shooting jacket should allow unrestricted movement, provide shoulder stability for repeated gun mounting, and offer practical pocket placement for cartridges. Breathability, weather resistance and a comfortable fit are also essential, especially during long days on the range.
Q: Are clay pigeon shooting jackets waterproof or water-resistant?
A: Most clay pigeon shooting jackets are water-resistant rather than fully waterproof. This means they are designed to handle light rain and damp conditions while remaining breathable and flexible, which is ideal for shooting sports in changeable British weather.
Q: Do shooting jackets affect gun mount and recoil?
A: A well-designed shooting jacket should never interfere with gun mount or recoil. Reinforced shoulder panels help provide grip and consistency when mounting the gun, while flexible materials ensure the jacket moves naturally with the shooter.
Q: Can I wear a clay shooting jacket all year round?
A: Many clay shooting jackets are designed to be versatile across seasons. Lightweight softshell jackets work well in spring and autumn and can be layered in colder months, while remaining breathable enough for milder shooting days.
Q: What pockets should a clay pigeon shooting jacket have?
A: A good clay shooting jacket should have deep, easy-access front pockets for cartridges, along with secure storage for essentials. Pocket placement is important so cartridges can be accessed smoothly without interrupting your shooting rhythm.
