tungsten Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Anyone know of a "cobbler" who could make a replacement seat for a shooting stick, using the old leather one as a template? All the local ones are heel and sole merchants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will stand a better chance with a saddle maker and there are still plenty of them still in business. Just be careful though that you get a quote first, I took a gun slip in to one to have the leather blocked end repaired, picked it up about a week later, he'd used about 3 square inches of leather, looked as though he'd spent no more than 10 mins on the job, it was a completely different colour AND he charged me £25. Worst of it was I couldn't argue as the saddler wasn't there and the girl that served me was wearing very, very tight jodhpurs To cap it all the zip broke on the gun slip about 3 weeks later :( Such is life Mr Potter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
