Rear shooting bag

[Tgunz64]

Looking at shooting from now on with bipods and monopod/rear bags. Currently use either a cheap matrix rest or a lead sled dft 2 rest. Don't really care for the lead sled. I don't shoot competition or anything like that. Just my own hunting rifles occasionally. But I am looking at the Armageddon gear game changer and their X wing bags. Open to other options as well. Thanks!

Hunter's Wedge rear bag is excellent,with several options.

I have a game changer and really like it.

Game changer or fortune cookie isn't ideal for a rear bag. Too big, bulky and heavy. The mini versions are better. I personally like the Rifles Only "Brick". It offers three different heights, and because it has square corners, is pretty stable.

Hi, while we're in this thread, I'd like to add a question. I shoot mainly from a bench at a NJ range (no comments please about our Bolshevik state, I'm moving to the free state of Tennessee in about 1.5-2 years). This being said, I need a bag that is at least 6-8 inches high to support the rear based on the way the range is laid out. I have the caldwell high bag and it doesn't cut it. I shoot both bolt and AR variant (10 and 15) rifles. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Why not use a cut to size 2X6 or 8 and place under the existing bag? That is what I have to do at one range I shoot. Just another option to consider.

I was thinking of that, glad to hear it worked for you, I'll definitely try it! Thank you!

You can also place shoe molding or a strip of wood all around the edge of the top surface, which would keep the base of the bag in place.

Great idea! You're saving me lots of error and error!

You can also make the 2X6 or 8 longer so it will support your elbow When shooting. Otherwise, it will feel very awkward.

Thanks again, you're answering all of my questions in advance!

Leather Protektor bunny bag with ears. I've used these for more than thirty years. They work well.

Thanks for the comments fellas. After looking at several bags I decided to go with the Hunters Wedge. Looks like a stable rest and easily adjusts the height by sliding it back or forth to get the correct height.

I use this one. Fill it with the fill you like and the amount you want for height. You can squeeze the bag to get the final adjustment you need.
