JohnWesleyHardin 49 Posted July 11 I drop shotgun shells while working posse duties. Is there any rule against removing your belts between shooting stages? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Rainmaker, SASS #11631 391 Posted July 11 (edited) Nope. Safety, safety, safety. Do what you do safely and all will be well. I do suggest that when you re-arm, go to the LT and place pistols on the table, secure belt and then holster. They can find a way out of them holsters at the worst time...

M.T Chambers, SASS#76185 42 Posted July 11 No regulation against it. I do it occasionally, put hammer thongs on revolver hammers, remove belt being mindful of muzzles, and hang it on my cart behind rifle/shotgun until needed. MTC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Major Crimes 1,458 Posted July 11 I have the Mernickle SG belt and I push my shells down below the leather shelf (the rims sit just above the loop) between Stages and then set them on the shelf as part of my loading routine at the LT. Do I sometimes forget and have to dig them out of the belt, what do you think Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I couldn’t care less what the fashion police thought. Thinking about it, if it got their panties in a knot it would make me smile. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chief Rick 246 Posted July 12 I rotate my shotgun belt around backwards after I'm done with a stage and refill my empty loops. Just remember to rotate it back around before giving the line at the next stage. I also place my revolvers in the cart between stages. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chili Pepper Kid, SASS #60463 217 Posted July 13 I remove my shotgun belt. Leave gun belt on and put pistols in holsters on gun cart to lessen the weight. Unless...We are shooting in order and I'm the first shooter then I take both off cuz it's gonna be awhile before I shoot last on the next stage. Hope to see you tomorrow at Zen Shootists.
