Added more pics so you can see the possibilities....

Seems very similar to the Cabela bag that's no longer available... ton of storage up top, and damned hard to beat @ $30. Hell, you may not be able to buy a used bag and straps for 30 bucks!

I winder what the right side of the bag looks like... appear to be some sort of straps or something. Can that be use to hold a stool, perhaps?

Only holds the 360 boxes, not the 370 though. bummer otherwise that'd be a huge steal.

Browning Bag from Bass Pro

So just because it's 360 and says 7" depth does not rule it out. I actually bought this bag but was interested in seeing how much more room the XPS stalker provided.

PVC dimensions
11.25"x7"x4.5"

^ looks a bit tight width wise... how many can you fit in there?
I kept 20 in the main section of my Cabela bag, including 5 mids.

Since I travel for work, this is my "Away" collection so I only have putters and mid-ranges on hand. As you can see, there's about 8 fat discs in there with maybe 1/3 to 1/2 free space. Once I switch out the 3-way elbows at the top-front of the opening to just flush 2-way 90 deg elbows, that should add some room.

The dimensions I used for the PVC frame was taken from a DIY youtube video for the Cabela's bag so capacity should be similar. As previously stated by someone, the opening is really tight but that will keep the discs from falling out.

pvc dimensions for bass pro stalker bag

I've taken couple pics with tape measure so u can see it. Base is 12" x 7"..heighth is 17"..and width at top is 9 3/4 width...or you want inside dimension of 7 3/4...since discs are 8 1/4..this is perfect for quiver..

Thanks for the pictures/dimensions! I tried to go trade in for the larger xps stalker bag but they were sold out. Took some side pictures before returning the browning bag, the insulated pocket can also be unzipped for access to the bottom.

final thoughts...

Here's my last pics to show you the best part.....this part will make it last forever..get a 1/4 inch plexiglass 7"x12" round the edges....get 4 rubber foot pegs (mine are 3/4" tall by 1 1/2 wide..nice footprint ) with 4 stainless bolts and lock washers...I drilled the holes using standard steel bit..very easy ....make sure you have drill bit just bigger than your bolts and go veryy slow...you will pull up plastic curly cues if you do it right..do not go fast it just want to melt...drill holes like 1" in from each way was center of my footpeg . Place plexiglass in bottom take awl and poke through slowly...your just spreading the fabric apart rather than drilling through it....put bolts down ..looks cleanest ...and after that stuff all pockets with towels to fill and inflate them so when fleseal drys it retains its shape nicely..and get can flexseal ...and blue tape to tape off and cover rest with garbage bag...recommend outside...added the nuke symbol with red and black permanent marker...colored squares....lol...this should add real nice integrity to overall bag..you'l be surprised how upright it sits even without frame...oh and seat plexiglass was 4"x 10" added bumper sticker on top...peace

Those are some nice additions! I wish the bag would come back in stock. I got tired of waiting and bought a Grip A-14 but still want to make a casual bag

Cabela's DIY bag

Somebody got an idea if there's something on the market beeing similar to the Cabela Angler, with a "bottom pocket" and a upper pocket for a putter as well?
I've been searching for ages but didn't find anything...

Thanks man!! That looks like the perfect bag for small money.
What a bummer that they're not shippin' to Europe yet!
