good evening gents ,

 

my good lady is about to start making leather pellet pouches , i thought id ask here what type is preferable , either , around the neck on a string/lanyard , or , with belt loops ?.

once she knows what type is best she will make a couple , id like a couple of guys to have a free sample and test them out and report back , give me a shout if you want one to trial (only a couple please gents and only guys that will be out in the field actually using them)

cheers for any input gents.

 

mel :good:

I prefer round the neck and half moon shape is best .

But why not make them with a detachable leather lace type strap and a belt loop on the back :good:

thats just given us an idea , a longer than normal belt loop that sticks up above the pouch , it can either be worn on the belt or a lace added :good:

I have had one made that goes on two elasticated straps on my inner upper leading arm., use it for my springer :good:

thats another possibility that we hadnt thought of , thankyou :good:

weve got plenty of testers now so will report back in a couple of weeks , cheers guys :good: .

hiya guys ,

 

her good self has made these today , shes done her sums and can sell them at a fiver including the cost of postage , she could make them in many different ways but after discussing it we decided to try these as a starting point , any positive input is welcome , but , bear in mind that some changes may also add extra costs , these will come with a lanyard so that they can be worn around the neck , or , it can be easily removed and used with the belt loop , theyve been made with the softest leather that she has so that they feel ok if theyre worn next to the skin .

the trial pellet pouches are sitting in envelopes and will be posted tomorrow , we look forward to hearing your comments guys. :good:

Looks good mel , looks forward to trying it out .

I dont think anyone could complain at £5 with postage !

cheers fenboy , the pics dont really do them justice to be honest .

 

i should have added that its a full tin of pellets inside the pouch .

Nicely done there, defiantly got the shape right with no corners for the pellets to sneak into !

that was the thinking behind the shape , the belt loop was also made longer/bigger so that when its on a belt , the pellets wont drop out if the shooter is shooting from the prone position , the pouch should still be able to hang in an almost vertical position.(i hope) ,

morning bob , these are completely free mate as theyre just the testers before she refines them and starts selling them , feel free to , pull it , push it , stamp on it , throw it , leave it out in the rain , drop it from a great height , if you manage to break it she will just change them until theyre right for the job and send you a new one to test.

to be honest , i cant see much that can go wrong with them (but im not an airgunner) , the stitching is made from rot proof cotton and leather is as tough as old boots (pun intended) , i thought that the lanyard looked weak ,but , after giving it a good tug i realised that it was much tougher than it looked , the pouches should be in the post today with her other parcels bob , just let me know your findings please mate . :good:
