Ive been shopping around for some quad load shotgun caddies as that is the method i am pursuing to master. Problem is I cant find exactly what i want for a reasonable amount. $90-$200 is NOT a reasonable amount to my cheap ass. so I thought about getting out the ole dremel and making my own. As bonus,I wanted to make em with a budget of exactly $0.00 dollars...and thats exactly what I did.
Using commen household items. An old lid for a plastic box, some binder clips iused to hold targets up, some rivets and some 550 cord i proceded to make gold!
24 rd. Quad load vest!
I cut clips in thirds and sanded down the jagged edges and burs and bent them enough to retain the shells during running and recoil yet be easy to extract. a tough balance..I cut a 10"x7" rectangle out of the lid and riveted the clips to the plastic.

Ive only had a few hours to play with the vest but so far my fastest time is just a hair over 4 seconds for 8 shells! Still fighting fumbles. but compared to 6 seconds for load 2 and and a whopping 10 seconds for 8 rounds weakhand, I say Ill stick to the quad load method..
The vest will take from 2 3/4" up to 3 1/2" shells.
