for smaller bags

this is my new bag, my first attempt at any stitching of any kind lol... turned out ok i guess... way smaller than i expected but im also down for a mini :)


my question is, as ive tried steel airsoft pellets which are way too big imo, because the thing bounces and rolls everywhere at various fill levels, what would be a more ideal filler for a smaller bag... could i get away with sand if my hexes are sealed?

should i just try myself? lol im planning on it but advice would help!
thanks guys

along other lines, i was thinking since my bleed holes are so non-existant i might get away with some medium to big sand... im afraid id be too light though..

Airsoft steel shot suck ass. I know, i have a huge batch right in front of me that I rarely use.

I doubt sand would be ideal for your 32 there. For one, with the many stitches that a 32 has sand wouldn't have an ideal spread along your bag to make it feel choice, especially in freestyle. Sand is pretty much ideal for bags that have less stitching, such as 4-6 panels for minis and 14 maximum for the larger bags I believe. Second, coarse sand is abrasive. In a way, it can kill a bag if it's in the process of breaking in, especially for 32s. I highly don't recommend it.

But hey, you have Richard Abshire right near you! He can help you with your filler! Awesome bag, especially if it's your first! Keep it up. :)
