Yeah, and bigfoot is not of the left handed brotherhood.
I buy all my guns from t-rex. He's a small arms dealer.

I stand corrected. Old Ranger is still very different kind of special.

I thought I would revisit, after looking at a couple fancy expensive vests. I'm still learning how to keep more of my weight on the balls of my feet.......whatever that means??? :? My nylon see through trap vest with two pockets, is sure nice for carrying my stuff to the next station, when I remember to wear it. :roll: I think I got this topic back on track??

This topic has been off track pretty ever since Old Ranger and Jerry showed up. It has been very entertaining though!

Thanks for pointing that out Dave. I still think, your favorite color in suede on the front and slick white on the back. The blue fades just like a pair of jeans.

Jerry,
I actually sent in an order for a leather vest and just so you know I ignored everyone's advice. I am going with a solid light gray color. Something that will not be too hot in the summer and will go with what ever color I decide to paint my rifle.

I considered a dark pink with purple pockets and yellow trim but I didn't want to look like a Montanian shooter.

Don't forget the big turquoise eggs and fringes. Wouldn't want you to look like an outsider in Albuquerque.......

Back east what you call fringes we call tassels.

I was considering rhinestones but I was told that was too much.

Jerry, don't you worry you little head over if I can take a joke. I am a New Yorker so I have very thick skin.

Bring it on!

Not to worry Jerry; I keep telling people and my family that we have indoor plumbing now. Pretty soon we will some of those fancy ele tric lights in the house too. At least that is what they tell me.

Ah, I thought you hippie nature types would save and recycle that stuff for fertilizer in your organic gardens.

I stand corrected.
