Yeah, if we can go to the moon, we ought to be able to design a bag with shells ready to insert, brass up.

Sure, but where are we going to find a group of scientists who will dedicate themselves to such a daunting task... much less appropriate the necessary funding???

Pete-That sounds like a lot of Mcrap to me. M-man and crap is well crap:duck:

Dave, I'm with you I'll carry my shells in a vest

Ask and you shall receive....

Although I collect speed bags (as well as shell pouches), I feel a bit like my friends Dave and Rich. A speed bag is a bit too much like a purse to use in certain circumstances. I'm up to about 1 or 2 days a year with mine.

Harry, that's about the perfect "speed bag" for the gun who finds himself without his loader at the butts, eh whot?

Dean,

What! What! One should never be without a loader.

In "The English Gentleman" by Douglas Sutherland a young fellow pointed out that a gentleman's watch had stopped. The gentleman said, "Impossible! My man winds it each day before he puts it on my wrist."

Another young man was getting married and a future Uncle asked "How's your pheasant?" "I have none". As the older man stomped off he said "Obviously not feeding them properly".

Harry

Yeah! but remember that purse is full of shotgun shells. And that
put's it into a league unto itself :)

And there's that "something just looks right" about a fine double gun
and a fine leather or canvase bag together. :cool:

May I suggest when buying a speed bag make sure the opening is big enough so your hand goes in without chaffing your knuckles. Mine does annoy my knuckles.

The purse thing has no credit on a trap range when you must shoot fifty rounds per station. The fifty round thing happened at the Grand a few years back and the speed bag came into play and worked out nicely.

i seen a movie of JOHN WAYNE a while back he was hunting with a hammer gun and what looked like a speed bag made of leather. then again it could have been a game bag. i have often used and old purse as a shell bag and a game bag.did the speed bag serve as only a shell holder or was it also used to put game in.... charlie
