    Beaver tail style shooting pouch PC/era

    Simple question, does anyone know when the “beaver tail” style bag flap came into vogue? Was this a later style bag say 1800s or might you have seen a bag with such a flap earlier say rev war or pre rev? Say something like this.

    In an effort to streamline…..

    So, I like shooting from the pouch and that is how I shoot almost exclusively. However I don’t like carrying a bag with 28 pounds of manure!
