A shooting bag is on my list of accouterments to make and once again I am inspired. I figure if I reach for the stars, like these great examples, I'll get up out of the common mud of those last minute, thrown together, just good enough stuff that usually happens with a last minute deadline approaching.

I would greatly suspect that last statement describes me to a
"T".
I can say with almost certainty that I have never actually "planned" any accouterment I have ever made.
Perhaps a little thought went into the layout, but insofar as actually planning to do something on any given date or time, then gathering all the materials.....that has just never happened.
I suspect I will have to do better, if your work is any indication of what can happen once I climb out of the common mud, then I think a little prior planning has to be on the agenda....instead of;
"Hey lookie what I found! I think I will make meself a doomaflitchie for my Black powder stuff". Your work is outstanding. with your skills being remarkable.
