22 sqft hide

[Hickok55]

is it possible to get two shotgun chap legs out of a 22 sqft hide

Unless you are extremely large, I'd say yes. That is a lot of hide.

[Hickok55]

do you think i will be able to cut 2 pieces which will be 2 by 4 sqft each out of it

Most half hides, I get about 4'*6', after removing the belly. The best way to do it, is physically go and look at the hide. The way it usually goes, you need a big piece, and they send you something with a hole or brand or other defect, right where you don't want it.
