[QUOTE="Vinootz, post: 1670836, member: 110410"] I never use a rear bag. It is not likely I would ever carry one in the field or take the time to set it up if I did. I practice with a front rest(for sighting in or longer range verifications). I only have a bipod on one rifle. Most of my shooting is off hand to 200 yards anyway. For 300 plus I start to use a sand bag on the front-my pack or natural object in the field. This is a long range hunters forum so I figure I'm not the norm. The advantage I find with offhand practice is that once I have a front support I have extreme stability for precision that I normally don't have. I'd wager most folks on this forum differ from my approach because they are shooting way out there. This helps with consistency in firmness of hold(also cheek weld) no matter what rifle or caliber I shoot. Besides I dislike too much equipment.I'm a point and shoot kinda guy(travel light). 2"-4" groups offhand at 200 yards(not always-lol) keeps me in shape for any other kind of shooting with support. Further out you got to know what each particular rifle and cartridge are doing by verifying your hits with practice. [/QUOTE]
