New gun? New shooting bag
« on: November 28, 2019, 10:44:14 PM »
I made a shooting bag to accompany my Brown Bess. It measures 9x8 with a 1" gusset and has an internal pocket. It should serve well enough.

Should work good. The inner pocket comes in handy, I always add one when making a bag. :hairy

Thanks! The strap material (and leather, too) are from Hobby Lobby.  :D
