My Shooting Gear

[@Some_kind_of_Steve]

Nice to see someone else using a cartridge belt bag. I get funny looks when I put mine on most of the time.It's just so convenient!

[@lloydyp]

Indeed, I just dont get on with vests, never have.

[@ronaldjohnson1474]

They're quite common in the US, especially if one reloads.

[@akeyuk]

Great video Lloyd, I'm always sadly interested in what other people carry when out shooting. One thing I rarely see anyone carry or talk about is a first aid kit, out of habit I carry a bleeds kit (simple pressure dressing, some gauze, gloves, tough cuts etc,) and a small 'boo boo' kit of plasters and wipes. I know shooting is safe, and accidents are rare, but being first aid trained I'd rather have a few bits on me 'just in case'.

[@lloydyp]

Fair comment. I always assume that the club or ground will have first aid equipment on hand. I would say that everyone right now should also be carrying hand sanitizer and a mask...

[@PAKADeals]

Thank you for your time sir.

[@lloydyp]

My pleasure

[@Jimmy.JAEGARN]

I used Randolphs XLW, went to pilla this year. Never been happier

[@lloydyp]

Nice one :)

[@hunterelam1292]

I used to have one off the cheeper Randolph ranger and went to the Pilla outlaws this year and I don’t ever want to go back to anything else

[@lloydyp]

interesting, what didnt you like about the REs?

[@mitchwoods5070]

Everything but the kitchen sink. My range bag includes; cartridges, water, microfibre cloth, 1 pilla lens, sunscreen. When shhoting comp I try to stay as light as possible. Keep room for lightweight roll up rain poncho if needed.

[@lloydyp]

I always have waterproofs but they live in my boot rather than in the bag. I could do another quick vid on my chosen shooting clothing I suppose.

[@nissan300bhp]

see now imo the bore snake is a game changer, so simple and gets my barrels squeaky clean in as little as 1 pull through on each barrel,.

[@lloydyp]

I am afraid I don't believe you are getting all the lead and plastic fouling out of the forcing cones with a pull through.

[@nissan300bhp]

@@lloydyp my barrels are spotless lloyd, and i use 1 good spray of napier decreaser and 1 pull through on each barrel and they perfect. I only shoot 150 carts each so often tho, not like a chuck 400 a weekend through it

[@d-rayphelps1630]

Boresnakes/Pull throughs do not clean your barrels!!! All they do is smear the bore. Nothing beats correct bore cleaner and brushes. Have a good one

[@nissan300bhp]

@@d-rayphelps1630 let me tell you, a blast of napier barrel cleaner in each barrel and 1 pull through on each barrel with the boresnake and they are squeaky clean like a mirror

[@grahamedwards9920]

I’ve been intrigued by that cartridge bag for ages and bought a canvas alternative at this years shooting show purely because it was all I could find. It does the job so I can’t justify buying another for £120 - but I’m working on it. Great video.

[@lloydyp]

Thanks man.

[@johngoody4322]

nice and practical. I glad I'm not the only one that carries a bag with "essentials". I do admire the cartridge bag, quite popular here in Qld. I usually use the large pockets of my shooting vest. I like the idea of the bag but not the price. Expensive out here. well done.

[@lloydyp]

Thanks John.

[@jamiegunton9968]

I carry a cleaning kit with rods incase I ever get a barrel obstruction (hopefully I'll never need to use it!), and always carry my license, plenty of cartridges obviously, and a spare hearing protection - I currently use Walkers Razor Slim Electronic which I think are great value for money!

[@lloydyp]

Good shout.

[@johngeorge2081]

My kit is nearly identical, but instead of the large box for glasses, I also have a small ginsmithing toolbox. Includes punches, screwdrivers and a small hammer with 3 interchangeable heads. I'll look for your review on defenders, can't wait to see it!

[@lloydyp]

Thank you John.

[@2blackcircles]

Hi Lloyd, any chance on a video for very newbies how to look after your gun? Here you show a spray, grease, cloths, would be great to show the very new to shooting how to use these I’m guessing critical bits of kit for regular maintenance. But then there must also be a monthly cleaning schedule? Thanks in advance.

[@cj-rb8fz]

Got a cartridge bag only use it shoving all my bits and pieces in as well as cartridges , got some of those Macwet gloves the other day , really comfortable and you can’t tell you’ve got them on , not sure what they are like in the wet yet thought

[@lloydyp]

Grippy, there isn't much warmth in them admittedly but I can't shoot safely in thick gloves. I would rather have a good feel for the gun and use my pockets.

[@cj-rb8fz]

Lloyd Pattison I got the climate one which are supposed to be for colder weather will have to see when it starts to get cold

[@stephenfarmer1195]

I’ve been shooting randal ranger specs for nearly 2 years. I love them, really nice. But I’ve not been able to compare them to Pilla’s

[@lloydyp]

I know loads of people who swear by them, but I have been unable to get any to test.

[@roadbull1]

I’ve got the Ranger Edge’s and a pair of Pilla Outlaw 6’s. I prefer the rangers - i suspect its the tint. HD lens in the rangers and the blue “bank kit” in the Pillas.

[@lloydyp]

Roadbull not sure why pilla did blue lens for clays, the colour shift is kind of offputting but everyone’s eyes are different.

[@roadbull1]

Lloyd Pattison I have red/green deficiency , the blue does make the orange pop for me but I’m thinking of trying one of their red or cherry options.

[@paulwilson7234]

Very hard not to like Hull Cartridges. 👍

[@lloydyp]

You will get no disagreement from me.

[@phildavis1282]

I carry a 3 piece cleaning rod, you never know when you can get a bad cartridge and a wad stuck in the barrel nice to see you travel light 😉

[@lloydyp]

lol always.

[@timdainton1634]

Nice rundown, I love my macwets and the owner of the company is second to none

[@lloydyp]

Never a truer word.

[@duncanclarke3836]

Hi Lloyd I’ve Just acquired the new browning 725S, I’d like to here your thoughts On the gun. I’ve always shot Beretta but shot this at my local clay ground and fell for it So purchased one couple weeks ago scores are up already.

[@lloydyp]

Thanks Duncan. I am on a promise to get one sent over for review but with the lockdown I haven't spoken to Browning in months. I might give them a bellband see what's what.

[@kiwimedic319]

Great clip and gear Lloyd. I also like MacWet gloves. I have a pair of the climatech ones, have not tried the micromesh ones, but I don’t tend to wear gloves in the summer. I have Randolph Ranger “Sporter” frames. Pilla are a bit out of my price range. What I like about the Randolph Sporter frames is they are excellent quality and very good value for money (in my opinion). I wear prescription lenses, what I also like about the Sporter frames is you can use the frames alone with clear lenses or attach a coloured clip-on. The clip-on’s are sturdy, but easily changed as the light or background necessitates. I have a collection of half a dozen clip-ons in various colours and shades. My only criticism of the Randolph Sporter frames is I found my Peltor ear muffs would not seal as well while wearing them compared to my previous glasses. I solved this by getting custom moulded ear plugs which are also excellent. Mine are just the standard passive ones, not the fancy electronic ones.

Thanks for your great vids! I’d love to see a comparison between different shooting specs and maybe an in-depth review of Pilla’s. Also I’m looking forward to your review of the new Browning B725S. Maybe also a little legal info. I live in Belgium. If I have a European weapon pass can I come to the UK to visit one of your great shooting grounds and bring my gun? Has anything changed since Brexit? Thanks.

Gloves, Macwet, ear protection, CENS, and Pilla do the outlaw frame with a prescription insert. Talk to Ed Lyons eyewear.
