Made me a Shot Pouch

[Yewbender]

Back in Dec i made this shot pouch for hunting. I used elk hide and lined with linen. It

measures 6”wide x 7” tall.

Good looking useful pouch/ bag!

What type of button is on it? Or is that a weight added to hold the flap down?

 

[Yewbender]

Smo, its brass buttom 3/4” so i can secure my goodies from falling out.

If you don’t mind my asking? Who carries them?

 

[Bob McBride]

Very cool. A likely early style bag. I like simple bags just like that. Well done.

 

[Yewbender]

Smo, I got them from Quartermaster General. They have a nice selection of different style and metal buttons.

Nice looking pouch but next time........try to make your button as well.You can make a pretty nice one from an old copper penny,just lay it on something like a lead ingot and start tapping it with the ball end of a ball/peen hammer to make it dish shaped.Then form a wire loop to use to secure it to your bag and while holding it in the dish shaped button with a pair of pliers pour some melted lead into it.Now you have a pretty cool button to secure your bag.

Recently made a shot bag myself, based on the one Wallace Gusler wrote up for Muzzle Blasts back in... '09? Started messing with a hawk carrier, too.
