Shooting Bags
Shooting Bags
Just wondering what type of material you use in your front and rear bags. I know poly, walnut hulls and corn cob is used, but what is the preference. I get very tired of carrying around sand filled bags.

Lenard: Give Don Scott a call up in Gladstone. He and his wife Arlene make the dog-gone-good line of shooting bags, and he's got a large quantity of recycled plastic/rubber compound that is ideal for bag filling.

Don is a retired K-9 cop, lifetime rat shooter, friend and all around good guy. Tell him I sent you.

Rick,
I bought one of his bags at the EXPO center gun shows about 8 years ago and have never regretted it.

A guy over on Saubier forum is selling lapidary plastic beads for lightweight bags, claims they work great.

Re: Shooting Bags
I made my own shooting bags from a couple of old suede coats that I purchased at the Salvation Army and filled cut outs from them with the glass beads that they use to put on the road paint when painting. They are clean and the beads move easily.

Re: Shooting Bags
I have used plastic beeds from a craft store and rice from the grocery store. In a pinch you can use just about anything you can afford.
