I like thinking out side the box.
This is just a weird and off the wall answer , so if it is not close to what you are thinking about , it is ok to flatly reject it.
What about a modified golf club bag , they are cheap at second hand stores. I have a youth model I use to carry chimney rods up to a chimney when I have to get a raccoon out with my chim trap II. It works great carrying it up a ladder with the shoulder strap. I can lash it into place to use when I need my hands free. It was cheap , got it for $6 at a second hand store. Using a full sized adult bag and maybe opening up some of the sections in the bag , will accommodate a shotgun or two. Pouches for balls can hold shells etc. Removable from the SxS to clear up for other uses. Cheap as well , maybe not pretty , but very little investment.
Just a off the wall thought.

Keep in mind NSCA (National Sporting Clays Association) rules dictate guns onboard a 4-wheeler, SxS, or golf cart are to be carried vertically, preferably muzzle up. Small club shoots or practice sessions most likely don't pay much attention to this rule but if shooting in big registered tournaments it could/should become an issue. I walk the course and use a 3 wheeled cart made by Rugged Gear. It easily carries a flat of shells, 2 guns, some water, couple extra boxes of "special" loads (one box heavies and one box spreaders), gloves, extra glasses, and extra stuff that I generally don't need and wish I didn't take.

It's been a while since I last shot Sporting Clays but we never used more than one gun and walked the course. Is it now customary to haul two or more guns around the course?
Eh...wot?

Interesting. Last time I shot Sporting Clays (a number of years ago) I also used a pump, an old Ithica M37 with a Polychoke installed. It was lots of fun and I remember thinking the folks laying out some of those stations were a bit on the diabolical side. LOL

That's probably a better way to look at it Paul. I remember one station in particular. The thrower was positioned towards a woodlot, the edge of which was no more than thirty yards from the shooters position and it threw doubles. If clay birds average 50mph that gave the shooter between one and two seconds before the birds broke on the tree branches. A difficult station especially for shooters starting from a low gun position. Technical? Maybe, but I'm sticking to my opinion of diabolical on that one.

I'm sure whoever set up the course was probably inexperienced. This was at a local club that was most likely not an NSCA member club and done mostly for fun. Me and some friends would go there once a week through July and August with the intent of brushing the rust off and re-acquiring our wing-shooting skills for the September dove season opener.
