Carrying pellets while out pesting

[bryan123]

Hi, there has to be an obvious answer to this question but I can't think of it.

For those of you who, like me, have a pellet rifle that shoots pellets that load one at a time like the Daisy 880/901 or Beeman R7, how do you carry your pellets while you're walking around your yard pesting?  Maybe something on your belt? In a pocket?

Thanks

In my front pants pocket, hunting vest pocket, or coat pocket depending on the weather.

Fanny pack, worn on the front with the top open. Instant access and pellets won't fall out.

I have a picture of it somewhere...but. I just got some quarter inch craft foam at a craft store (black), cut a 2"x1" section, punched some holes in it with a leather punch (rotating one from harbor frieght) and then glued it on with some silicone (which is removable). Think it holds ten pellets. Put it on the right side of the rifle under the scope where it doesn't mess with grip and is easy to access while reloading. One side of the butt is also a good place. You just need the pellets spaced so you can grab em easy.

Air Venturi pellet pens are awesome!

It may seem it would be awkward to reach into the pouch for a pellet but it's not at all. The exact position can be adjusted by the individual for what they prefer. IIRC the pouch was $4-$5 from WM online.

Buy some Tic-Tac's.  Eat Tic-Tac's.  Put pellets in Tic-Tac container.

I've always used a pellet pouch that hung from my neck and my first pouch was a modified leather coin purse bought at a Goodwill Store for a couple dollars.......

That pouch worked well for a few years till the leather started cracking at the hinge and I replaced it with a Beeman canvas pellet pouch that I still use a couple decades later. The Beeman pouch is no longer available but this Crosman pouch looks similar.........

Origionally designed for hanging on the belt I found it to be awkward when sitting on a bucket resting the gun on cross sticks so I punched a hole in each corner and attached a wide shoe lace in the holes for hanging from the neck...........

This pouch has held up for over 20 years of frequent use till this year when the Velcro wore out so I bought a Velcro repair strip from a Dollar Tree store and replaced the old worn out Velcro strips..........

I was going to simply buy a new crosman pouch but decided to simply replace the worn Velcro instead since the pouch itself was still in good shape after a couple decades.

Ok, can't seem to dig up the picture. Here's one from online. I use one like this but instead of strapping it on I just use some silicone to glue it there. Also I space them a bit less, perhaps ten pellets or so. It's more important to get at them easy than to have tons of ammo, you can always dig more out of a pocket or backpack when you have time later. Silicone will peel off most surfaces without leaving a residue.

That is a #1 set-up Ed !          I like this !       This is more like what I would want to use.... out in the deep forest around my place !   

Real Simple, Easy to Use, All Climate and Problem Free.               

My Best Wishes - Tom


P. S.

I just checked out the Crosman Pouch but I like yours much better.  The Over Flap would keep snow & ice out where the Crosman Pouch won't.     
I found a nylon glove pouch that looks a lot like yours....cheap too. ( $ 2.99)          Best Wishes - Tom

I use this method - Nothing to buy!

I second Dinh’s suggestion as I use one...Air Venturi Pellet Pen, .22 holds 16, small light, ready to load (loads from tip).

[starlingassassin]

i use the small test tubes that h&n packages pellets in when you buy their samplers.


or 35mm film containers.


or my next contraption will prob be a small silicone jar/container like this.....

I made these pellet dispensers that attach to your gun. They drop a pellet every time you rotate it into the next slot and have an indexing mechanism to help with ease of use.
You can PM me if you are interested in one

I like to wear a few pellets around my neck:



I used to carry a few pellets in my pocket but these little carriers work much better.  I can keep my eye on the prey and in one quick motion just sweep my hand up to my neck and pluck a pellet.

It's made from a piece of 1/16" thick rubber sheet.  A scrap piece of shoe leather would probably work the same way.  Printable templates are attached.

Use a glue stick on the template


Then apply it and cut the outline with scissors. 


Use a leather punch to knock out holes for the pellets.  I added a small brass grommet for the attachment to a necklace.

That’s a great idea!!! Now use paracord for the win;)
