I hate Walmart. Had an idea rolling around in my head and suddenly it fell out on aisle 10 at wallyworld.
Pic one is everything I bought including a nylon pillow bag ($2.00), socks filled with rice ($0.00 had them and been using them as a rest), Scotch velcro strips ($?....had them already), and of course cheap 20 lb bag of rice for a couple of bucks.
Pic 2, positioning sock bags.
3 and 4 is putting the strips on pillow and socks.
5 and 6 is the side and back view of the gun with the socks attached.
Socks can be pulled off.
This was very solid and it's my first try and may modify but I think a great start.
It feels great and won't move with shots and can't wait to try it out.
Poor people got poor ways....Ha!

Thanks. I was just seeing how it would work. Jeans would be better and leather perfect.
I kind of like trying stuff out, that's cheap as dirt to make, and does things just as good as the original. I think it's a ball to make something that would cost 50 or 60 bucks. My thoughts were of the Bull Bag that retails at about 50.
Here's a picture of the professional bulls bag vs my Joe Dirt copy.

Hell, I think it looks great! It kinda goes with the idea of the Redneck Bass Boat my cousin Dwayne from Alabama made...Who says that it has to cost a lot of money to hunt and fish? Dwayne is workin' on a bigger version right now; soon as he can steal an old couch off'n somebody's front porch, and come up with a couple more old ammo boxes or some old beer kegs, he'll be set!
