What brand shooting bags do you guys use? We have lost our shooting range with benches etc and I am forced to put together a jerry rig bench rest for load development. I am looking at Uncle Bud's Bull bag, but there may be much better things out there. I have a relatively inexpensive bench rest but the bags are small and do not stabilize well. If I remember Ray got one that was to minimize the recoil also. If I remember correctly it was a pretty expensive rig. What do you guys use and what is the best? Thanks "D"

I use the old Levi pant leg Zip-tie rest most of the time.

My wife makes me sand bags out of pillow ticking. They function well and wear like iron.

May your chambers be true to your bores.

I use the Levi legs myself. Since they support gun control, why not use them for that!

I use a bag made from the leather they use to make carpeters nail bags from. I have it filled with buck wheat which gives the same feel as sand but has a lot less weight, it never leaves the back of the ute on our shooting trips.

I have a Uncle Bucks bag, they are a little pricey,but I really like mine, a buddy of mine bought one too. They are also good to hold your rifle while cleaning or scope work. BA

I'm a levi leg man myself. If you'll put your sand in a plastic bag before you put it in the pants leg, you won't have that fine dust migrating thru the fabric.

I got my pants legs at the taylor now. Thanks "D"

I get the cloth change bags that banks use. I have a friend that has a restaurant and he gives these things away 'cause the money guys don't want them back. Zip tie the top, and use a coarse filler. They don't let much dust out at all. Free but heavy.

Old shot bags filled with washed sand.

I use a bipod on the front and old socks filled with sand on the back. I first line the socks with the little plastic bags from Walmart to stop the sand from coming through. Works for me and I always seem to have some socks that need getting rid of. Oscar

I thought I was the only one that used pant legs :O)

Just got thru making some, fill mine with catlitter, stuff I found made out of recycled paper (unused) works great, makes a nice wide solid rest for putting the ol' contender across

However these I'll pack with me as the last ones I left at our range for others to use disappeared :O(

Mine are made from shot bags filled with cat liter sewed up with 10 pound test fishing line. They work great and they are not very heavy.
