- Load individual 12 or 20-gauge shells into the 37 elastic loops, ensuring a consistent orientation (e.g., brass down) for muscle memory.
- Don the bandolier crossbody, positioning it over your non-dominant shoulder to allow your support hand clear access while maintaining weapon control.
- Practice drawing shells with your support hand in a smooth, decisive motion, moving from the bandolier directly to the shotgun's loading port.
- After use, immediately unload all shells from the bandolier to prevent permanent stretching and degradation of the elastic loops.
- Before each use, inspect the webbing for frays and test several elastic loops to confirm they retain positive tension on a shell.
