+1 for the old denim jean legs and walnut shells from an old guy. If you want something a bit more classy and expensive looking and your wife or girlfriend has a pair of suede (leather) slacks tell her you want them when she is going to get rid of them, the legs make real nice shooting bags. You can also check your local thrift stores, Salvation Army, Good Will and others for old suede or leather slacks, the older and more worn out (and therefore cheaper) the better, and arms from old leather jackets will work as well, thinner leather seems to work better than thick leather, especially with light weight filler material. I like the idea of the small plastic pellets better than the styrofoam peanuts. I prefer a little heft to my shooting bags, if not the weight of real sand or lead shot....<><....:)
