shot snakes

how many of you guys use a shot snake. what style do you use.

I do not use a shot "Snake". However, I do use a Shot bag with an Irish charger head on it (similar to picture below) for dispensing measured amounts of shot. The shot bag is made of very stiff/thick leather molded to a ball shape with a spout in which an Irish shot charger is installed. There are places to tie a strap onto it to hang as you wish. Also, sometimes I just carry it in a pocket on my vest.

I really like this method of carrying shot for my smooth bore.

Irish head for me. I use another for powdwer, so I can put them in my pockets when hunting.

I use this shot snake that I bought from DGW in the early 80’s. The dipper throw is adjustable for 1, 1&1/8, and 1&1/4 oz shot. It’s held up quite well.

I use an October Country shot snake (it's attached to the shoulder strap of their possibles bad). Irish head. It's over 10 years old, and has been a great asset. I actually have two now, one for hunting and dog training (#6 shot), and one for target shooting (# 8.5 shot).
