EXTRA SHOTS? WHY? Just kidding. I guess it just depends on what you have available. I usually carry 4 or 5 extra speed loaders in my fanny pack. I remember back in the old days when you had to carry your flask and your patches and balls in your possibles bag. And you were always trying to figure out another way to carry your "loads". Too bad one of us didn't think of 'speed loaders'. Heck I even carried my charges in spent 20 ga shells covered with a piece of newspaper and duct tape.
