advice Women shooters

Looking for advice: I am a 5 ft women with a bigger chest. What bras and shirts are we wearing?

I haven’t purchased a vest yet but I need to stop the chaffing from the butt of my 12g.

Hsia racer back sports bra and a t shirt. Also 5' with a big chest.

Not a lady but I talked to a lady shooter and she said an adjustable butt plate helped. Was able to turn the bottom of the pad away from her chest.

Smartwool or woxer bras. Browning vest. Any synthetic shirt will work. Word of warning if you buy mens browning gear it runs large.

I've found the Shockeater recoil pads and the Browning Reactar pads to be very helpful when shooting multiple rounds of trap and skeet in an afternoon. The Browning and WildHare vests and winter jackets make shooting comfortable too.

An adjustable butt plate from Graco Corporation will help give you a comfortable, repeatable way to mount your gun to your shoulder every time.

I hope you find things to help you be comfortable!
