| found some shot bags and am wondering do you guys line the bags with plastic bags before filling or just fill with sand. Or are you using something other than sand thanks |

I've used large Ziplock bags inside, to prevent spills as mentioned above.
Regarding your second question: what is your goal? If you need weight for a Lead Sled, then lead shot or sand would be best. If making a rest, then the lighter weight options mentioned above (walnut shells, the "oil dry" I assume is Kitty Litter that you would use to clean up oil spills in garage??) should work as well and be easier to move around. The Walnut shells can be found in pet stores as a liner for lizard cages (if you reload you likely have some for tumbling media...) |

Where can I find the cloth shot bags? I don't want to buy a bag full of shot Cut the legs off an old pair of pants, jeans or twill. Sew up the ends and Bob's your uncle. This...... I have numerous shot bags made from old Levi's pant legs... tough as heck. I made some in different fill levels, so they can conform easier. DO NOT use lead shot in them, the lead can turn to dust.... easy way to get lead poisoning. Steel shot works well... just don't get it wet....rusty dust. |
