Competitor Shotgun Shell Bag - Molded Hull Bag for Sporting Clays

In this review the Allen Company Competitor Shotgun Shell Bag is evaluated for shooters who need a durable, comfortable hull carrier for clay, trap or skeet rounds. The bottom line: it is best for recreational and competitive shooters who want a molded hull bag that stays close to the hip and empties quickly, because its curved design, magnetic curved spring clip and zipper drain make loading and unloading spent shells simple and reliable. The review focuses on fit, capacity and everyday functionality on the range.

Key Features

• Molded hull design: the rigid shape keeps shells organized and prevents collapse so spent hulls are easy to access during quick stations.
• Curved spring clip with magnetic closure: the wider opening makes inserting live shells fast while the magnetic closure keeps the pouch secure between shots.
• Zip bottom: a zipper at the bottom lets you empty at least 100 spent shells quickly without fumbling the bag off your belt.
• Web belt loops: loops fit most belts and the slight curve helps the bag sit comfortably against the hip for long shooting sessions.
• Capacity: holds one box of standard 12 Gauge (2-3/4 in) shells and about 125 empty hulls so you can move between relays without constant emptying.
• Attachment points: two D-rings provide practical spots to clip safety glasses or a shooting towel for quick access.

Who It's For

The Competitor hull bag suits clay, trap and skeet shooters who want a reliable, no-nonsense accessory that performs during practice and competition. Its molded construction and belt fit make it especially useful for shooters who change shooting stations or coach youth shooters and need quick shell access.

Shooters who need ultra-high capacity beyond a single box of live shells or those who prefer a soft pouch style with internal compartments for other tools may want to consider alternate styles. This is a purpose-built hull bag rather than a multiuse range pack.
