Inexpensive Shooting Bag

[TDM]

No, it’s definitely not a real tarred finish. But an ample rubberized coating of some sort. Thick, yet very pliable. It will suit my needs.

I have seen those over the years, usually after a season or two of re-enacting the coating starts to fall off, but no problem just get some spray like the guy on TV sells for gutters and such and re-spray it.

Dang, and I thought for $30 it would last forever.

It will with a bit of care and Maintenace. Me being a cheap BasT555 Make things last for the next guy when I am dirt napping.

I do the same. A little care goes a long way.

Use it up wear it out
Make it do or do without.

Amen to that.

I have the pleasant problem of having a variety of calibers and bores. So I wanted one or more additional shooting bags. While I normally make all my accoutrements, I stumbled across this bag from Crazy Crow Trading on sale for $25.29, and there was no way I could make one for that price. It's 12"x12" tarred canvas, they say it's modeled from mid 18th to early 19th century. I'm sure it's not very authentic, but it won't be used for reinacting. Anyway, if it turns out to be decent and doesn't fall apart I plan to order one or two more. Then add some adornment to each to differentiate its use. We'll see when it comes in. Oh and their shipping was $4.95, so just over $30 total.

I gotta quit reading your posts; I ordered one of those last night!

My Wife doesn't believe in sharing. But don't tell her I said that.

Wow, My wife gave me a $60 new shoulder bag for the 1860 revolver. (not PC)
Carries all the stuff in style.
I concur with above. MAKE not bought.

For my Fall shotgun season, I ordered a shoulder bag from eBay.
plenty of room and really nice leather, my wife uses it during the summer.
Not H/C, but it'll pass for what I use it for. And it cost me a whole $23.00

After reading this, I ordered one. It came yesterday. Should work fine for squirrel hunting with my .32. I have a bag for my .36. Didn’t want to switch stuff back and forth. Thanks TDM for the heads up. Jim

I have a bag/large leather purse , it has a nice front pocket with the buckle like yours. Has a large flap when opened it has several pockets inside. Its my all day shooting range or event bag. Plenty of room for all of my rock sparkers needs.

I got mine yesterday. Thanks for the tip. It’s perfect!!

That is a mighty fine bag, regardless of the price.
Mine has no buckle, but was 3 times the cost.
Killer buy

 

[Jim K]

Mine was a little more expensive but not much. I love it.
