Dang, those are long! I still use a set of 100 round ones but the carry pouch for it rotted away at the stitches so I had to buy a modern equivalent set of pods to get another pouch. They are GenX Global and have a slightly chunkier lid. These are backups for when my at least 20 year old Viewloader ones develop a single problem but so far they haven't.

(As nice as the pods are, really its the VLbow I wish I could buy now.)

I got two vl bows, Use them on the older markers with wide feednecks. Love my blue bow on my raptor with a blue vl revy. Also found the pro version of these pods on ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Viewloader-...-/280626802867

My local field has tons of nib vl bows.

I see tons of people selling NOS viewloader stuff on ebay (though vl bows are a nice find) since they company went away. Wish i could say the same for NOS brass eagle stuff. Lol

Awesome, how can we get access to some? VLBows are the best , or at least a tie with the Armson elbows. Which field? Cheers, M7

I only have one and it fits a Trracer (wide feed). I’d love to have one for my Sterling.

I reaaaallly like the new BunkerKings ESC pods. They are cheap $25 for 8. Never had one pop open and I run strapless pack and play snake. Textured enough they are grippy but dont snag. They also have a foam pad inside the lid that keeps paint snug and rattle free.

And it was on the day of this picture that I ordered the new bunkerking esc pods via my local shop.

my harness was empty on reload after crawling in the grass.

If only there was a way to strap the pods into your pack 🤦♂️🤣

On that note- I decided this weekend that I really dislike strapless packs. I had several pods pop open while sliding, and lost two straps on a slide...

Why isn't this a standard feature? Rattling paint in the hopper I can deal with, but, on the rare occasions I wear a pack, rattling pods drive me even more neurotic than my baseline level.

I may have to glue some foam into my pods. Slowly realizing how much I hate that sound.

That gives me an idea: I have a roll of 1/4" neoprene with an adhesive backer. I only used a couple small pieces to put a pad on my precision rifle stocks (makes getting into the same head position every time for the perfect eye relief a snap). I would prefer something a little thicker and more compressible, but I think it will work. Another project! Oh boy!
