“The Barepelt vests are customizable and are extremely popular among individual shooters and youth teams,” said Jason Gilbertson, Director of Marketing for Winchester Ammunition. “We look forward to working with Barepelt in rolling out custom Winchester vests to the shooting public. Their co-branded vests are already out at events and worn proudly by Team Winchester members Zach Kienbaum, Desirae Edmunds, Theo Ribbs and Eric Harvey.”
About Barepelt
As a firefighter, competitive sporting clays shooter and functional fitness advocate, Erich Roden, founded Barepelt. He looked for ways to move and perform better at all three and realized very quickly that clay target shooters are also athletes in every sense of the word. They must swing a shotgun for several hours at a time, at 50 different pairs or more in varying temperatures and elements, while operating at peak mental performance. This makes them an athlete whether they like it or not and is where Barepelt fits into the sport.

You care about bettering your community, helping those in need, and conserving wildlife and wild places for generations to come. It’s time for gun owners to tell their stories and to show how they’re making a difference.
