Shot Bag
« on: August 28, 2017, 11:39:56 PM »




This shot bag has a steel English shot head marked "SYKES". It is marked 1, 1 1/8, and 1 1/4 oz. The original leather stitching was not holding. I wanted to use it, so I decided to put new leather on it. Including making a new strap. The spring and gates were in good condition. I used bark tan for the leather. Jerry

 Good looking, how much does it hold?

 Anyone know a source for that style head?
