  1. That is cool reusing the lead, my backstop is tires filled with dirt stacked up with a 12 x 12 trap rated for 9mm in front. Wife put the nix on shooting indoors.
  2. Thank you, I am shooting competitive Field Target, a game where we shoot targets as close as 10 yards with a 1/8 kill zone to 55 with a minimum 1 1/2 kill zone. At unknown ranges, my class you can use the scopes parallax to range find. Yes they are, and was very blessed. Thank you he had good taste and he dove in when he liked something. They are great for teaching gun safety and marksmanship. I am very lucky there are 3 field target clubs in North Carolina. Along with 2 time National Champion, keeps you humble. Thank you, yes they have. Didn't know they were this good three years ago. They cost up front, then cheap to shoot after. In tournament season shoot on average 800 pellets a week. Have an 85 yard range in my front yard. Doesn't bother the neighbors as it is so quiet. My best group at 50 yards, 5 shots.
  3. Decided to pull out the springer I got from a dear friend who was getting rid of things preparing for his passing. Setting it up adding a cheek riser and pellet pouch made for fun. Tuning kit coming in Monday along with parts needed to make a hamster. Looking at shooting it the rest of the year in memory of him. People like him only come a few times in a lifetime. The stock wrap is 5-6 oz. outer and 12 oz. piece on top under the outer shaved on the sides. Fit great allowing me a good cheek weld.
  4. My wife says I am a wise a$$. Poking fun at myself. Thank you Thank you it was fun and tongue an cheek. My black 550 came in and adjusters. Plus finished the neck pads. The left was my first to test, it is unlined but now has magnetic closures.
  5. Thank you, yup these are for air rifles. Thank you, would just have to be bigger.
  6. Thank you, growing up in the 60's and 70's had its perks. Thank you Appreciate the kind words. Thank you, feel like him when missing a target. Thank you Thank you, a little humor helps. It is really challenging. First match I shot in 2020, was paired up with the National Champion (Philip Hepler). Real nice guy and he gave me some good pointers. Blessed to have him to gauge my progress off of. It is worn around the neck hanging slightly below my boobies. Can be worn on the belt if a belt clip installed. Had one on my test one. It is wet formed and an inch wide, can get my fingers in to pick a pellet no problem. It is a bit deep if the pellets get low, you have to tilt the pouch so the pellets are in the corner no biggie. The magnetic closures for me are one of the nicest things. Easy to open and stays closed and out of the way, and easy to maintain. this is my second one, used my first as a testbed for improvements. Like it more than I thought. It makes it much easier when shooting a lane (hunter class). If you want can give dimensions.
  7. I shoot Field Target and wanted a pellet pouch. Made mine with a tooled veg outer, and Russet Harness lining. Used magnetic closures for ease of use.
  8. Sewed with my cylinder arm and is very finicky for angle a little tilted and it will shift even though the top is on the groove. Having to improve that area.
  9. Finished one of the two, both will be the same.
  10. No problem, thank you.
  11. Thank you
  12. It is easy to adjust, don't feel like messing with bobbin tension for one project.
  13. You are right tried class 4 with top tensions loosened up. Probably will sew on flatbed to solve problem. Thank you
  14. Working on a couple music strap, sample for them to choose from.
  15. Thank you, took us a while to find them. Thank you, Uh Oh my wife is in trouble. Might get a big head, she tells me that anyway. Thank you
  16. Thank you
  17. Thank you, you are right about the cant. It is just mocked up and didn't take enough time in putting it together. Thank you, didn't show the picture of the back. Had a brain fart and mis-stamped one on it.
  18. Thank you, took us a while to choose them. Thank you, funny thing is the back flap is the one I struggled with most.
  19. Unique design, don't know a whole lot about them. Except for the ones I have used.
  20. Sweet, those must be long mags with the extensions, how many rounds per?
  21. Started a bag for pens and paper to be able to write a letter or journal while away from home. Plus it just looked stinkin cool. It is fun when two come together. Saw a medic bag that is made for pens, it looked interesting. Went back to the original Swiss Army Medic Bags, the early from the 1940's and later from the 1980's. Liked features of both, so why not combine and augment some myself. The outside is 4-5 oz Herman Oak veg tan, while the inside lining is Wickett and Craig Russet harness veg tan. Thought of doing a carving on the front but the lid covered to much, a basket stamp was chosen. Still lots of burnishing and sewing to finish it. Most of the sewing will be done by hand. Will show the finished item with pens and stuff loaded.
  22. The carvings are from images we found on google. The cover was fitted to the notebook. Thank you. Thank you.
  23. Thank you Thank you, it was a challenge. Thank you, we wanted the art to be the focal point. Finished the notebook cover at 3:00 am this morning. Laid it beside her while she was sleeping. When the cat got her up, she squealed, and slept the rest of the night holding it like a teddy bear.
  24. Started a notebook cover for my wife. She loves sunflowers and butterflies, along with clover and honey bees. Tomorrow hopefully will start on tooling the inside flaps.
