I'm ThInking of designing a new shooting bag and can't decide on the best place to attach the should straps to the bag.
I could put the straps not the back but I thought that would interfere with opening the bag flap all the way back for a clear view to the interior.
Sided gusset attachment would allow the bag flap to fold all the way back to get it out of the way.
I'd like the bag flap to be able to keep rain out the the interior so I was thinking to two short inward facing gusset flaps to keep rain out and stuff from rolling out should the bag tip over.
Right now I'm using two bags, a Tandy kit shooting bag I assembled (stitched together). It's too narrow not enough guest width to easily get your hand into. It lacks organizational pockets to keep items separated and easy to find.
My large possibles bag which I sometime take out alone to use as a combo shooting bag possibles bag is actually a "William Joseph Old School Satchel" flyfishing shoulder bag 12.5in x 16in x 6in. Yes it big but easy to carry and nothing will fall out when it's wiped up and its very weather resistant being intend for fishing.

This bag zips open wide, gator mouth style so it very easy to see inside The disadvantage it the mesh pockets inside snag most muzzle loading accoutrements.
Maybe a custom drop in insert with custom pockets and slots to fit the stuff is normaly carry. I could make a mockup with bristol board staples and glue so I don't waste a lot of leather.
