What are people doing with their old shot bags? Now I am referring to the canvas tape not the Tyvek. I have sold them on eBay in the past years but I haven’t had much luck with that the last few times I’ve tried. (Many years ago).
I did notice that the shot companies are using heavier bags now like they did in the past. I believe even the Eagle brand shot bags are a little heavier than what they used to be. Of course the West Coast bags I believe are superior in thickness.
I do have one particular vintage bag that I may post for sale but as for the rest is there any use for them? There have been people in the past that have made accessories with them. In fact I believe I have a four box carrier made of shot bags somewhere that was made by Yvonne who used to sell them on trapshooters.com. Thanks,

Maybe I’ll try eBay again. I’ve tried selling them on the Facebook yard sale sites with no success.

I’ve done that same thing with spent primers but you really need a lot of spent primers to do that.

I fill them with gold coins, then bury them in my yard

I give them to my rifle & pistol club and they fill them with sand for the range. Selling them would be like selling plastic bags from grocery stores, more trouble than it’s worth.

I had my Mother in Law make me covers for all my reloading presses with them and they are great. Good luck finding a woman that will do that sort of thing nowadays.

Saw guy with a shooting vest made out of cloth bags looked unique, but don't know who sewed it up for him.
