Abstract
A device for reloading a shotgun includes a support secured by a strap to the back of the user's hand, and the support along with an internal spring clip releasably holds a shotgun shell in an outwardly extending orientation with the flat, base end of the shell in abutting contact with a flat wall segment of the support. Once the nose of the shell is inserted into the shotgun barrel, the hand is tilted slightly to rock the support relative to the barrel and thereby release a rim of the shell from the spring clip so that the hand can be pulled away from the shotgun with the shell in place in the barrel. In preferred embodiments, the device includes structure for releasably holding two shotgun shells in parallel, side-by-side orientation, and the distance between the longitudinal axes of the shells is equal to the distance between the central axes of the barrels so that the shells may be simultaneously inserted into both barrels and immediately thereafter released at the same time from the device.
