I use the Harrison Rockets and absolutely love them. Definitely a cut above. The only place I can find them herre in the states is from Fresno Arborist Supply and they only come in 8 and 10 oz. I have both.

Something I wonder about. The fabric is like a cordura nylon or something. With other bags, that fabric allows lead dust from the lead shot to escape. Because of this I have written complaints to the manufacturers. The Harrison, however, as many times as it's pounded the earth (or pavement or concrete) has never leaked anything, has never discolored gray, has never shown ANY indication that there is lead shot in there, which brings me to the question: Is there lead shot in there, or is it something else? If not lead, what is it?

Then I'll share what the lead shot shot bag manufacturer (Weaver) told me is the reason why they use lead in their bags.
