Members WalterF Posted June 27, 2023 Members Report Posted June 27, 2023 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. Quote
Members Gezzer Posted June 27, 2023 Members Report Posted June 27, 2023 Very nicely done !!!! I really like your choice of subjects Quote
Members dikman Posted June 27, 2023 Members Report Posted June 27, 2023 The carvings are very well done (and fitting). Quote
Members Handstitched Posted June 27, 2023 Members Report Posted June 27, 2023 ' no more buwetts ' . Well done on that. Quote
MtlBiker Posted June 27, 2023 Report Posted June 27, 2023 @WalterF - Beautifully done. I also shoot field target (and luckily have won several trophies, but nothing at the national level - yet). I also shoot 10m air pistol, but that's a real challenge for me because I'm strongly right-handed, yet left eye dominant. SIGH Anyway, how do you use that pouch? Does it hang around your neck/arm? Is the opening wide enough to reach in with your fingers to get a pellet? Do you have to invert the pouch to get pellets out? I've been thinking about making one but haven't figured out a design that would be practical. So I'm interested in your experience with this pouch. Cheers! Quote

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. Quote
