Homemade Benchrest Bags?

[Antelope]

Just wondering if anyone out there has come up with some creative ways to make basic front and rear rifle rest bags?
Nothing pretty, just functional. For cheap?

thanks,
John

not that i have tried this but, i have heard of people using socks filled with sand or rice with reasonable success for a front bag. for a rear bag thought i dont realy have any solutions, sorry

Lower half of the leg off of blue jeans. Sew and fill with sand or pea gravel. Or the old stand by shot bags sew and fill. If you go with the shot bags you need to use the canvas type.

Hi, if anybody needs some shot bags, I have some. Send me an e-mail at [email protected] and I'll send you some. They do work great. I filled mine with case cleaning media. [email protected]
