Default A Real Trapshooters Cap....

You all have occasionally derived some amusement over my various crazy hunting / shooting cap projects with my friend the master cap maker Barry Simonds.

I thought I'd share the most recent. Made from vintage Winchester shot bags of all things. To say I'm pleased with it would put it mildly. Of course I'll have to find enough Remington ones for another, but my attachment to Winchester ammunition took precedence.

That was a clever way to make a cap. You make it look even better.

If anybody thinks they want one, you need about 10 good clean bags. I'll put you in touch with Barry.
