Rear bags for bench

[Nature Boy]

Way less stable than a Protektor or Edgewood bag or Airfoil bag. Guys aren’t using these at top level bench/belly matches for good reason.

These are convenient and inexpensive - THAT is their advantage. But rear squeeze cubes (for whatever reason we call them this) like this are the least stable rear bag option.

I agree. I have several sizes I’ve tried and don’t use any of them.

OK, Though I do know a couple of our members are using these Squishy bags. I did look at the Airfoil bags and now I will have to ask our league manager if those are accepted. I do know from the very first meeting that there was a big discussion on shooting supports as the year before I started they would allow and many used front rests.

The more you shoot, the more bags, bipods and rests you’ll accumulate. It’s just part of the hobby.

Yep, bought the SAP Solo Sac recently to try. Not for the rear, although off of a bench it might be OK.

I got a bag of popcorn and put it into an old sock. I used it for maybe 20 years until recently when I was shooting a revolver off it and burned a hole in the sock and the bag. A bag of rice works well too.

Thinking of maybe using the corn husk from my tumbler.

I have (3) lead shotgun pellet bags full of unwashed creek sand that my mother sewed shut 55 years ago. A little dusty but I still use them now and then.

Kitty litter[new!!] works well also. No dust and lighter.

We hated cats. And creek sand is free.

Stay away from the caldwells. Complete junk! I have 3 that have either ripped or the media got wet and hard as a rock. You also cannot refill them.
