Hey folks, just wondered if anyone had a pattern/idea for a DIY sandbag? Ideally a reasonable size. The reason i ask is, i refuse to pay the £15 or so that they want online for them when i can probably make one cheap as chips.

The caveat, i need to be able to empty & refill it on location, so the ideal would be a refillable liner that went in another bag.

Examples welcome, suggestions for material also welcome.

Cheers
Rowan

"Light bulb goes on over Rick's head!" I just remembered I have a cordura/rubber "kneeling" sandbag I used for shooting! I will dig around tonight and see if I can find it and post pictures of it. It is rather similar to this one. They are $10.95 empty at http://www.championsho​oters.com/accesory.htm (external link)
