    After a small mans shooting jacket, anyone have one for sale?

    After 2 seasons shooting just fine with an old tight leather biker jacket I've decided to try a target shooting jacket. Only no 3p or FT use, just standing use.

    Is it really an essential move, I suspect so.

    I'm 5'6" 9.5stone slim build, 36-38UK jacket usually.

    Anyone have a spare one from a large teen who's moved on?

    Have you tried up at Aldersley Ranges mate - they have a load on the shelf, and if not they might be able to get you one in for you to try on?

    they have a couple of second hand ones in Aldersley at the moment - also in a small size.

    If it does not fit perfectly, I can PM you Phillipa Taylors number - she does all of the alterations on jackets/trousers etc

    She altered mine, and it fits perfectly - best thing is, as your shape alters, she can keep the jacket fitted to you

    Cheers both, I'll pop up and take a look. Was hoping for private 'recycling' not shop prices, but I'm sure Aldersley 2nd hand will be very reasonable.

    With respect, a half decent fitting jacket is one of the keys to shooting well.

    It's worth spending your hard earned on a "good" jacket that fits properly than just getting by on something that was cheap.
