About Us
Hello, my name is Terry Koehler, and I've been passionately shooting doves in South Texas for over 65 years. I was introduced to dove shooting as a child, tagging along with Dad to fetch birds from the time I could run.
At age 7, I graduated to my Winchester Model 37 single barrel .410, then onto a Model 12 20-ga pump when I was big enough to handle it. I’ve spent most of the past 65 years pursuing those little grey ghosts and currently alternate between my two Beretta 686 O/U's -- a 28 and a .410.
While I love my guns, I have never been quite satisfied with the shell-and-bird-carrying part of the equation.
Over these six-plus decades of shooting, I’ve gone through countless vests and belts, but never found one that really did it all. Most vests are not very well thought out, are just too darn hot and most of them fall apart. And I've never found the belt-type rig comfortable or practical.
That inspired me to create what I believe can honestly claim to be “The Ultimate Bird Vest”. Since that first one in 2019, I've continuously worked to incorporate the best of everything I’ve seen, plus some “bonus” features you won't find in any other vest or belt.

For 2025, we've complimented our camouflage vest with our "Bird Gear" model in an attractive combination of sage green and safety orange. Now avid upland bird hunters can enjoy the same innovative features, outstanding comfort and unique six-way size adjustability that thousands of dove hunters have come to love.
Please take a look at the features I’ve incorporated into this product and give it a try.
