Folks,

I was just surprised by my doctor that I am now down to 144 pounds pounds which is the middle of the ideal weight range with me. Which puts my BMI at 22.6. The last time I was this little LBJ was president.

But I need a new shooters jacket now, medium in size, I need the right shoulder padded. If it is based upon a field jacket pattern that is fine.

Any one have any thoughts on what I should buy? Please post links if you can.

Thanks,

Jerry

Sako,

I am interested in the shoulder pad, back when I was a young man in the Army, we could get a bersion of the "field Kacket" as a shooters jacket. Now I am sorry I turned that in.

Thanks for the info. I did some backpacking into the Marble Mtn Wilderness area of the Klamath NF so I had closed cell sleeping pads & made them double as prone shooting pads,they worked great.I told several other shooters about them & they bought them saving some bucks.
