Haversack progress.
« on: February 02, 2023, 05:01:30 PM »
So after making my son's bag I decided to make myself a leather and cloth haversack to take hunting with my Fowler. This is my progress so far. Open to advice and criticism.

Looks fine, what are you using for a strap?

Good job on that bag!  I like that little buckle, I need to make a few of those myself!

Why do we keep insisting on calling shooting bags haversacks? Haversacks were for provisions.
