i have some very nice tanned cowhide, thick and soft (treated with Obenaufs Heavy Duty LP), that i'm going to sew up into a throwbag. Recently bought some bulk lead shot for this very purpose.

Goop as a preventitive? 1 Year, 8 Months ago  
How about Goop as a preventitive measure? I've killed many a throw bag myself. Leakers- we call them down south. The sound of dribbling pellets is very annoying. The more ya throw, the shorter the throw. Bummer!

Duck tape- ahoy! Restitch- annoyed!

But all said- better than a 16 ounce hammer head.

I haven't seen anyone use goop before but sounds like it would be good. But I have seen guys use rubber dip used to make new hands for tools. Guess it would be pretty much the same thing as the rope dip.

  Then here's to the oak, the brave old oak,
       Who stands in his pride alone!
  And still flourish he, a hale green tree,
       When a hundred years are gone!
