Best lightweight rear shooting bag

[Syncerus1]

Like others here I use Crosstac Ultralight Saddle Shooting Rest Bag on a clip attached to my pack. Fast extremely light (ounces), goes on/over anything for front use, and simply cannot be beat for a rear rest when using pack for a front rest. Pix is of entire back pack kit for any shooting need... Standing, sitting, prone. Without spotter 5 lbs... all in... CF tripod, CF table, swivel fork, bag, pistol grip head... all QD mounts.

What do you guys run in the field?

I have had few opportunites where I can shoot prone. Most often sitting with my back to something, Exo pack pulled in close for a rear rifle rest and shooting sticks out front.

Has been very stable and above the foliage of the PNW.

Pint size Game Changer with Get-lite

My son using a WeiBad TACKPAD on top of his pack for front and has a PumpPillow for the rear support. Both are light and make great sitting pads for glassing. BTW he nailed the shot at a nice Coues buck at 380yds.

My go to field bag is the Accuracy 1st bean bag. I've used this one for ten years now, and like the squeeze adjustability and size. Depending on height, sometimes need to add a riser under the bag.

I have one of the Crosstac squeeze bags and personally really like it. fully adjustable in terms of fill and very light. like dont even notice light.

If I'm hunting I usually stuff my jacket into the lid or bottom of my pack and use that.

If it's pretty flat ground like antelope hunting, I just use the truck window (I'm kidding lol). But I will just ball my stone glacier jacket up and use it like such.

I have these cheap pull tie bags from Amazon, I stuff my vest, gloves and beanie in there. But, I also stuff my Alaskan game bags in another bag. Otherwise, I won a cheapy vital impact rear bag from a Christmas deal at work. It's like 5 oz. Broke down FAST. But it works pretty good.

I use a small dry bag full of air soft beads. I attach the bag to my backpack using a small gauge paracord and stay organize that way. The air soft beads do t mold after being wet but the dry bag mitigates moisture significantly.

Store - Box to Bench Precision

Spex Lite® 5524 Shooting Bag Fill is an ultralight shooting bag fill perfect for backcountry hunting - great shape conformity - resilient fill - water resistant

the polypro is super, super light light but tough to handle due to susceptibility to static. I had to wash it down with water and allow it to air dry before it would pour from a container. Weight is less than 0.3 # bag and fill.

I use this ^^^ in these 30+ yr old leather Kolpin bags. The other bag is a leg from old jeans. All 3 weigh close to zero together. In the field I put the front rest on a no frame backpack or other suitable field rest. These bags are very stable even stacked on the leg bag which adjusts well for height.

I had to cut the seam on the leather to get the fill in, even after wetting/drying. Great thing about leather is you can put it back together stronger than new with cyanoacrylate / super glue.
