Carrying pellets while out pesting

[Ronni]

Im surprised nobody mentioned the pellet pouch yet. Very popular for Field Target. It's worn around the neck.

Pellet pen if I'm not expecting much shooting, or old leather coin purses I find @ estate sales.

I have a few of those little containers you get out of gumball machines with the snap on lids.

I found this Bisley leather pouch on Amazon for a ridiculously low price of $9.98 with free shipping.........

Don't know what the "catch" is but it looks like a really useful pouch!

Muzzle loading speedloaders. Different colors for different calibers, weights, brands etc.. Great for hunting, easy open, no noise.

It's not safe to have a cord around the neck. In the right situation, it can instantly become a noose. One in a million things can and do happen.

Also, I refuse to use anything that must be opened. It is an extra step that must be taken
every time and if it must be closed, that is two extra steps. When I eat popcorn from a bowl, I don't want to open a lid or operate some mechanism for every bite. I also don't want to look at it every time I want popcorn, uh pellets.

That's why I use fanny packs worn in the front with the top open. They are common but 20 years out of fashion, and may be found at second hand stores for a couple of bucks. I also avoid pellet carrying methods that require two hands.

A nail pouch/apron from the hardware store works just as well.

It's not safe to have a gun or a swimming pool or to drive a car.  Life is dangerous, you might die from it.

Sir, anecdotal "bumper sticker" wisdom is a logical fallacy and isn't proof of anything, and has nothing to do with the subject at hand.

The same logic implies that safety glasses and hearing protection are  never necessary. It implies that neck ties, loose clothing, rings and long hair are no big deal around power equipment. That it's okay to cross a  low traffic road without looking both ways and wearing seat belts while driving isn't necessary.

If you want to disprove something, please use actual facts to do so instead of using minimization.

If one wishes to wear a potential noose around the neck or fumble around to get a pellet, that's fine. I personally feel that more safety and more convenience are the correct route to take.

I'm truly sorry if I have offended anyone, and I'm not just saying that. This IS only a hobby forum......

There was a wide smile attached to my reply.  You are reading something into it that isn’t there.

It was simply a lighthearted way of saying we all take risks every day, many of which are avoidable and completely discretionary.  Certainly I would not have something tied around my neck while traversing difficult terrain like scaling the side of a mountain but I’m perfectly willing to do so while sitting in a hide.  A blanket statement that it isn’t safe doesn’t quite apply in that scenario.

I have a couple of lanyards the have a "break away" clip if that would help. 

[Lone Star]

You could shoot yer eye out...

I just carry ammo in my front pocket. It's quiet, no rattles when stalking prey.

I use a pellet pad stuck to the stock. 
Easily restocked from a pocket cache when needed. 
Pad is a replacement pad from the Phillips Pellet Holder, available from the web site.

LOL....then perhaps I should throw away my hats that I've worn for decades while shooting field target, squirrel hunting and general shooting to cut down on sun glare when needed since they also create a "noose around the neck".............

I guess that I'm just as likely to get hit on the head by a meteorite (they do hit the ground) as getting hung from my "nooses", but I don't walk around wearing a hard hat or "steel pot" either. I do have to say however that if I were concerned about my "hat noose" (or pellet pouch noose) I could take the advice of the poster that suggested adding a couple "break away" clips, but then I have enough "Columbus blood" to take the chances:o

"I refuse to use anything that must be opened. It is an extra step that must be taken every time and if it must be closed" and "That's why I use fanny packs worn in the front with the top open."
I have found opening and closing a pellet pouch to be a non-issue since both are simple one handed operations, however I don't like "dirt and stuff" mixing with my pellets in an "open carrier" when stalking in the woods squirrel hunting. My HW95 is already loaded before shooting and after the shot the couple seconds needed to open the pouch, take out a pellet, load it into the gun, and close the pouch to keep "dirt & stuff" out is rather easy. Even if you sort a pellet out from the "dirt & stuff" that fell in a "fanny packs worn in the front with the top open" (if hunting in the woods) you still need to reach into the "open fanny pack" to load the gun so I don't see the point you're trying to make. Humm.......do you practice "rapid fire break barrel airgunning"?   

Anywhoo....simply different points of view and not a biggie at all!

[Wolverineshooter]

I use this sometimes, comes with one of my crosman rifle

[Wolverineshooter]

rectangle Daisy pellet box can also be clipped on the belt for a solid carry

[Dockey 454]

I use basically the same thing as Jason. 1/8 neoprene and a shoe lace.

The logical extension of such thought process is that nothing is safe, hence you are best-served by doing nothing, ever, that may have a remote chance of causing bodily harm to anyone.

I guess I should be very happy I spent decades skateboarding (the equivalent of playing on a body-sized belt sander while intentionally  slamming my body into the ground), surfing (engaging in a lower-on-the-food-chain drowning contest), snowboarding (trying to freeze, get hypothermia, contact a tree and experience instant deceleration, or die in an avalanche), and cycling  (same as skateboarding only add in 3000+ plus motorized obstacles heck-bent on trying to exist in the same place in time and space as me) without serious injury.  Of course, none of this even covers occupational hazards such as working on high voltage/high amperage circuits while energized, operating HP hydraulics/air/compressed gas systems, tuning cars as the engine ran, and even field-expedient repairs to suspension using 2 batteries, a VW generator, and some coathanger wire sans welding glasses.  IE: you do what you do to get it done or have fun.

Everything has a certain degree of danger inherent, from watching television to breathing recycled air onboard a submarine.  I'm not saying ignore safety concerns, but keep everything in perspective and enjoy what you do.  So when I have a couple pests to kill, I either stick a couple pellets in my mouth, literally, or I use a front t-shirt pocket or athletic shorts pocket.  When I hunt, I carry a pill or Altoids Mini container but generally I'm taking very few shots.  When I plink, I grab the 5-gallon-bucket filled with all kinds of stuff.  Mind you, my pesting efforts are generally limited to a couple quarry per event.  WHen I worked for an avian abatement specialist way back in 1997, I usually plunked down with a tin of pellets and committed genocide on pigeons.
