I couldn't find any leather to make a pouch for my W shooter so I decided to try something else that works very well and lasts a long time. I have a lot of heavy duty ratchet straps in various widths and colours so I just cut off a length, burn the ends then punch a couple holes in it. Burn the holes so they don't fray and bingo ! Give it a go if you run out of leather.

smart thinking.

Looks good, but looks like they would be very slick and hard to get a good grip on.

Have you considered/tried cupping them with a little heat?

How would I do it ? Usually I just shoot big pebbles so maybe I could use one while heating it up. Cupping would help it for sure. I have punched a hole in the centre and that helps too.

You're right, but if I shoot rough textured sandstone pebbles its ok. And they don't rip or fray as easily as I expected either which is good. That stuff is crazy strong .

Post-Apocalyptic pouches lol. Hey though, that stuff is mighty strong. Inexpensive too considering how much you’re using per pouch. Heck I’d see if you can develop it further! Might be fun if nothing else! Maybe work it for smaller pouches even? I don’t know, just an idea that popped into my head.

You miight try putting a dab of ShoeGoo on the outside where you grip. When it dries you might have a very reliable grip surface.

Great idea! Never thought of that thanks.
