Need a good shooting pad

[snox801]

Ok the light one for $18 on midway doesn't seem to have the strap to push the bipod into. The $$40 one has them.
Any preference? I'm not to picky on price both are cheap enough. Just wondering if the straps would be a benefit? I see some guys like them.

Better to have and not need/want, then the opposite. If price is no issue, get the $40 one

I agree. Have had mine for years.

I would look on Midway and eBay to get an idea of what is available at different price ranges, and the get one that looks like it will work for you. THEN after using it, you can decide if you want to upgrade or change it out for another one with different features, etc. I found a sleeping bag at the local Army Navy store with a rubberized bottom to keep it dry. I added a cheesy foam exercise pad inside and use it as a base for my other at when it is wet where I am shooting. Total comfort with it as well!

I have the Cabelas Shooting Mat, I really like it. Its spendy at 59 bucks but worth it to me. Being waterproof, and non slip, with the fold out wings for my stuff are what I enjoy and appreciate. It has straps to roll up and shoulder strap that can be handy.

Midway has some good ones
Especially when they are on sale

I bought one of Midway's when it was on sale. My only complaint is; if you don't roll the pad up perfect the velcro straps aren't long enough. Other than that the pad is awesome!

Midway
I have the ones with the strap on the front so you can load the bipod. For the price on sale it is tough to beat.

Crosstac Precision Long Range Shooting Mats are well worth the cost

This is the one I use , it has the bipod loading strap and it helps a lot. I hear people saying they use moving blankets and sleeping bags, thats great and can work until you hit an area with cactus and huge loathed stickers and such or it starts raining or snowing. A good mat is worth its weight in gold. just make sure if you live in an area it gets hot don't buy one with black on it.

I really like my midway pro series for 40$

I have the lightweight Midway one that lives in my pack. It is also good for sitting on when glassing or for laying stuff out on when field dressing. I also bought one of their padded ones for long range days when not having the padding makes things miserable. I can't imagine carrying that one for actual hunting; it is too bulky.

I got a canvas tarp 8X8 double it up
Heavy but it beats laying on the ground and tuff as heck and last a long time
