The vest is Boyt, my grandfathers probably from the 50s with some repairs by my grandma. It is the only vest I have that will work well with 10ga ammo. The dog is a spaniel or setter? The shells I was using are 1 1/8 #5 and very light, just like shooting a 12ga. I usually go for the heads of those slow moving quail anyway , it only takes one #5 pellet you know!!
