DIY shooting bags

[vxtip]

I was gonna buy some but I decided for a few bucks of sand and spare materials I had around I could maybe make something better myself...

Here's the first one, finished:


Here's the materials cut and laid out. I cut up some old cargo pants for fabric, and used a black plastic trash bag as the inner lining. I used spray adhesive to attach the pieces and laid them on top of each-other to cut them to match. I also had some pleather which I used on the top and bottom pieces.

Here's how I attached the top curved piece to the front and back pieces

Here it is ready for filling

I hand sewed the end once filled, each is about 25 pounds of sand

I'm ready for a range trip!


Took about 5 hours.
That is all i have to report

Nice job.
Looks like a good thing to use to workout as well.

I've got a hole in the pocket of my most favorite shorts. Can you patch it for me?

Just kidding, love a man who can run a singer.

Nice job. I have several shot bags I filled with sand and then sewed up, not fancy but they work and the cost was nearly free. Stole the idea from my neighbor since I like the DIY stuff.
