I see a problem with the kitty litter ever since its designed to capture water, humidity so my guess would be that after a couple off wet or humid days that stuff will turn hard as a brick

Not trying to be a jakkashs: But why would you make a bag to camouflage cat-litter? If you want to bring the cat outside it can poop in the forest. No need to bring cat-litter!

Great job my friend and a great looking bag for the range. I used to use Cat litter but got away from it once i discovered .20 air soft bb’s, a way better alternative. Keep up the great work.

Use dollar store UNSCENTED and NONCLUMPING cat litter if you are going that route so that it doesn’t turn into a solid cube if it gets exposed to moisture, the cheaper litter will be heavier and more gravel-like.

Chris I have a question in regards to Codura Fabric. I’m trying to figure out how to cut small oblong shapes into the fabric(kinda the shape of mlok on an AR15 handguard). I tried a Cricut with a Bonded Fabric cutter but that didn’t work. Any idea of a good way of doing this in a repeatable way that looks professional? Thanks Man!

I think a handle sewn into one side is an excellent idea to help you carry from the car/truck to the shooting range bench. Just going down to a river with a shovel or hand trowel to scoop sand into the bag is best in my opinion. Why use food product that you can eat? Another type of fill would be Styrofoam pellets and it saves weight. USMC Sniper's just use a wool sock and pinto beans for the rear support... and if your in the field for any length of time you can just cook the beans! LOL.

I made some bags out of denim jeans the legs cut in sections . I used a sewing awl I picked up at harbor freight , that might help someone that doesn’t have a sewing machine . Also , another filler ppl might try , I used dried pinto beans in several bags and they have been great . Just another way to skin a cat lol. Like your bags , where did you buy cordura fabric at ?

@michaelthrelkeld212

What type of thread do you use?

A terrific video from camera work to instructions. I think my wife will have a new honey do job if I’m lucky. I bought a 20# box of crushed walnuts from Harbor Freight that a lot of people use for “sand” blasting. I don’t think there would be any mushy messes like with rice or kitty litter if it gets wet. Once she finishes the front bag she can start on the rear. I have plenty of crushed walnuts.

Is there a way to test if it is original cordura bc i orderd some and i'm not sure if it is real cordura

More people should seek the knowledge of sewing. Truly important skill and a moneysaver. This is a good video. I have grandmas hand sewing kit, some old holy jeans to cut up, and no desire to spend 30+ dollars on a bought bag. Suppose I'll get busy. Thanks.

Love this video I've been wanting to buy a shooting bag for awhile. I just got a heavy duty sewing machine and this is awesome.

Love the Publix logo!!!! Great video. I'll be making one this weekend. Thanks for the tutorial. Located in Lakeland.

I use soft air-gun pellets or other plastic granular in my shooting bags. Its lighter to carry, "waterproof" and still provide the same kind of stable support of the rifle!
