Shooting bags (for support), what are you guys using?

[E1957T]

I use an old inner tube cut into 15" section's. I use a zip tie on each end an fill them sand. Three of these can be piled to create different height shooting rests.

Sweet!. So when are you accepting orders?

I did this little project partially for fun and partially because I thought Armageddon Gear was charging too much for their bags. Well I did have fun making my own for sure and will probably make one or two more but I change my mind on Armageddon Gear charging too much. That was a lot of work and I have a fair amount of money in the material and the fill. If not for the fun factor of doing it myself I would not have been that much ahead financially given the time and money invested.

We did a fair amount of shooting with the bags today and the canvas copy of the Game Changer bag works great. Worked as well as I remember when using a friend's borrowed Game Changer. The squishy rear bags on the other hand were only OK. The spandex I used was too stretchy and they did not have enough body for a proper squeeze bag. I am going to try to make another squeeze bag and use heavy rip stop nylon for the cylindrical part and only use the spandex on the round end panels and see if that gives it the proper amount of body. Hopefully later this month I will give them a try at a local rim-fire precision rifle match. The bull barrel 10/22 is all sighted in after today.
