Flair, welcome to the forum. I do not wish to disagree with the esteemed gentlemen of the board, but they apparently they did not read your question.

For skeet, I wear a vest, so the sporran is definantly not necessary. There are some very nice wool shooting vests if you are concerned about fashion. More imprrtantly, what are you shooting? I am currantly shooting a 1910 Charles Ingram.

For training I typically have a vest or belt with side pockets. Either is better than a sporran. English Setter and a chocolate lab right now, looking at a red setter, you?

Now you will need a drinking sporran, I mean a casual sporran for you other activities. My favorite for that is the freelander, except I would prefer more bone on mine. Maybe you can buy mine & I'll order another from David.

Good training.
David
