Does anybody have a stack of old Winchester canvas shot bags they would sell? I need seven or eight, they would need to be fairly clean.

Hey Destry,
If West Coast Magnum shot bags help you any, I have a dozen or 2 of those?

Do they have to be Winchester? I have some clean bags.

Yeah, for this project I really only want a specific style. I added a picture to show what I'm looking for.

I “had” several clay target boxes full of cloth bags from 35 years ago . Of which a number were Winchester bags . But sorry to say I’ve given them away over the years and all I have left are Remington , Lawrence or Missouri.

I am curious what this project might be. I sure hope you are not making face masks.

No, not face masks.

Years ago I saw an old fella wearing a cap made from these bags and it's been in the back of my mind ever since. Ive got a good man to make the cap, I just need the bags.

Wards auction. I sent about 95 shot bags to them and I know some were winchester.

I appreciate the lead, but I'd rather deal with somebody I know through the club.

Do they have to be 71/2 shot or can they be any size but every thing else the same

Any shot size is fine.

Destry, I had a bad experience washing shot bags. I think it was the hot water that caused them to shrink. I guess cold is the solution. I only have one WW bag, sorry.

A bucket of cold water, some white vinegar, and a dose of oxyclean is all you need.
