A tac-vest may make you look like a poser, but its very useful, even for a civvie.
If you are shooting the matches in Ontario (including NSCC), it is useful to carry anything you may need on the rundowns, or in the butts on your person and not in your shooting bag/rucksack. This can include magazines, scorecards, ear defenders, spare ear plugs, shooting glasses, a pen, rain jacket, water, sunscreen, sight/scope adjusting tools, a breech safety device and enough ammo for the next match or two.

The equipment that can be carried in your pack is equipment that will only be needed at the firing point such as a spotting scope and your boxes of ammo.

Usually there is no time permitted after the rundowns to go back and get your stuff before going to the butts. On one occasion at NSCC during the second stage, I recall having to run all the way back to the 500m point and back to the 300 to retrieve my pack during my 2 minute prep-time for the next match, because the military teams carried all their teamates equipment forward for them, but as the civvie on the relay, mine was left behind.

See my post #46.... EXACTLY what I was talking about. No dicking around and waiting or looking for #### in your ruck.. Just go and shoot, or patch targets... whatever, you are ready for it....

Plink,

I saw that post, and since have been trying to figure out the best way to put it all in my vest less the ammunition. And possibly leave lunch out too. ;)

when i hunt i wear a molle vest, and i carry ( ** indicates optional item depending on terrain/conditions )

ammo
appropriate paperwork**
celphone
flare/smoke
space blanket
food
water
knife
tools for rifle/shotgun
binocs**
rope**
poncho**
hammock** ( overnight trips )
first aid
survival stuffs ( fire lighter, waterproof matches blah blah blah )
animal calls
polyprops**
ipod**


most of the stuff can fit into one pouch, so its not as extreme as it seems..
but always good to be prepared.

obviously when shooting matches at a range you wont need half the stuff.. but.. just to give you an idea of what to take

and remember, not everything has to hang off the front, ive got most of my gear strapped to the back of mine

If you've been in the CF for 16 years, I think you've earned the right to wear CADPAT...

I like your view on this... i'm really torn between cadpat and multicam. In the end i might end up with both, because good tacvest in cadpat (with an acceptable pricetag) are hard to find ! I don't like the CP Gear ones. So my vest will probably be in multicam (some chinese airsoft clone, like Phantom or Flyye... those found on 1337tactical), unless someone knows a source for cadpat molle vests and pouches, other than CP Gear.
