On Target

The following testimonial was forwarded to us by our friends that manufacture the EvoShield Recoil Pad Insert and Shirt. 

Joe,

As promised, here are my thoughts on the Evo-Shield Shooting Shirt.

In our 2007 Argentina trip, I fired 3,175 rounds killing a total of 2,045 doves. On that second day hunt I shot 1,573 birds and fired a total of 2,475 rounds. My shoulder, as demonstrated by the picture I sent previously, was mildly separated and significantly scabbed over from the recoil impact and the abrasive nature of the gun moving against the shirt. The last day (our final half day session) I shot 35% and fired less than 300 rounds. I could not effectively use one of the foam style shooting pads so I did not use any protection at all. The shoulder fatigue from the previous day was obviously significant and I did not compete for any notoriety or records within my group.

I just returned from our 2008 Cordoba expedition with significantly improved results. Over two and a half days I fired 4,425 rounds, killing 2,944 birds. The Evo-Shield shirt performed better than I could have expected and the picture I will send you shows the result of an undamaged shoulder. The most impressive statistic is the last day shooting results; I killed 1,519 doves on the last day while firing 2,325 cartridges. In the final half day session I shot over 73%, killing 639 birds on 875 rounds. The lack of shoulder fatigue and pain allowed me the ability to shoot all the way through my trip and I won the pot within our group for highest percentage kill ratio. It was a tremendous return on a very small investment and it made my trip so much more enjoyable than the previous year.

Thanks for turning me on to this great product. Take care.

I will assemble the other comments from the guys on opportunities for the shirt.
