Jackets - covering my bases

So I've been using two jackets most of this winter. Largely because I gained weight over the winter in my shoulders (weight-lifting) and in the belly (eating!).

So my Truttman is quite a tight squeeze right now. However, it's perfectly comfortable and stable while I'm in position so it's still my number 1 choice. The elbow rubber on the right elbow is worn smooth after 18 months of shooting, so I'm sending it back to Switzerland tomorrow to have it repaired. They'll send it back to my aunt's address in England before I arrive there on 28 June (or so they promise).

In the event that it is delayed for some reason, I've had my Anschutz jacket repaired (new rubber) and will carry it over to the UK. I shot in it yesterday again and it fits quite well (and is easier to get in and out of). Covering my bases. Though I'll have to figure out if my weight allowance will allow me to bring two jackets back from the UK. Worst come to worst, I'll wear one in the cabin and pack the other in my bags for the return.

Each jacket has it's own "matched" sling, so I don't have to make changes to fit.
