Typical Range day setup. Pictures please!

[d_wit22]

So my current local gun range is having issues with their sand bags disappearing or being destroyed…I've always just shot with them and been accurate. I'm thinking I should buy my own, that way I know I will always have a good set when I go shoot.
What do you guys use for front and rear rests while on a bench? Didn't really like the lead sled feel. I was looking for something more to just have the rifle nest into. Throw out what works for you! Thanks in advance

Front, Atlas bipod and a quality rear leather bag. A heavy one.

I want one of these wide ones but haven't plunged yet. It's rock solid

About 30 or 40 years ago, I made my bags from blue jean legs……stitch across one end, fill bag with sand, stitch closed.

I don't shot nearly as much as many of you, but with a little care mine have lasted quite well.

I use an "elcheapo" adjustable front rest, and leather "rabbit ear" type rear. I put bags beneath the rear "rabbit ear" bag as needed for proper height. For rear height "fine tuning" I merely pinch the sand bag for height increase or nestle the rifle a bit deeper into the bag to lower.

If it's already perfectly clear……this is the "poor boy - red neck" setup! But, it seems to work for me!

Addendum: I also use a volley ball elbow pad on the bench arm, I found out the hard way that after a few shots…..a lot of skin was left on the bench after firing a few rounds. The burning pain is rather distracting! memtb

This is my set up most the time.

Caldwell tripod and leather bag.

Just about a duplicate of mine including the Garmin

I use a atlas bipod and a leather rear bag sometimes a piece of wood under the rear bag to keep the bipod as low as possible.

Don't laugh, it works, I'm still stuck in 1980 something or other.

Lots of good info here. I run a good front rest and a good heavy bag on the rear. I have made due with a 50 pound bag of shelled corn on the front lol. Actually worked well!
