1. It all began in the old west.

In the 1830s, the first full-length rifle bags developed, mostly to protect the rifle.

They were sewed across the main seam and ornamented with fringes by American Indians from a single piece of deer or elk hide that covered the entire weapon. Early frontiersmen exchanged for these protective bags because they recognized the importance of their rifles.

While these early bags performed a fine job of securing the rifles, they did nothing to aid Plainsmen in their horseback transit. They were obliged to balance them on the saddle pommel until someone devised a leather sleeve called a horn loop that was fastened to the saddle horn and allowed the rifle to be inserted muzzle down.

The rifle could now travel with the saddle horn, but it had lost much of its protection. The saddle scabbard was not invented until after the Civil War, about 1870, making transit and protection conceivable.

The rifle could be carried with the butt forward thanks to the full-length leather sheath linked to the pommel and the back of the saddle. Anyone who has watched reruns of riflesmoke, Wagon Train, or any other TV western from the 1950s and 1960s has seen a saddle scabbard in some form.

2. Today’s Soft Rifle bags.

The more things change, the more they stay the same, as someone once said. It's the same with rifle casings. Even if you aren't hunting buffalo on the western plains, you still need the same features in your rifle bag: protection and portability.

Rifle owners are passionate about their firearms and the activities they participate in. They want to be able to attend their favorite events while also ensuring that their prized rifles are safe.

3. Soft rifle bags offer some distinct advantages.

The main advantage of soft rifle bags is that they are lightweight and easy to carry, which is something that every shooting competitor appreciates. For those rainy days on the range, a soft bag's water resistance is another benefit.

One of the knocks on soft bags in the past was that they couldn't secure a rifle as well as a hard bag. Let's face it, you don't want your weapon to move around in its bag. However, there are now twin soft bags with three interior straps, such as ours, that you may customize to keep your weapon secured and secure.

There are also tactical rifle bags that allow you to use barrel and rifle retention methods to secure your rifle's buttstock. Our rifle bag is one of the few on the market with a removable divider that also functions as a rifle mat.

Overall, soft bags have progressed significantly. They give the versatility of zippered compartments to carry ammo, magazines, cleaning equipment, and even storage for your small weapons, in addition to providing more secure transit for your rifle.

A good rifle bag can keep your weapon protected while offering all the convenient features you need.
