I'm sure this dead horse has been beaten many a time so my apologies.
I got a protecktor rabbit ear bag for a front rest I bought and it works great, but shooting prone with this thing is a pain in the nuts. Looking for a bag strictly for static shooting off a bench and prone and load development. Looking at the precision underground elr 3D bag. For those that have them, can it be adjusted by squeezing if I need to go up or down a little? Any other suggestions on others? I just got an atlas cal bipod, and I'd like to take advantage of this thing with a better rear bag.
I have the ELR 3-D and unless you can palm a basketball then no, it will be difficult to wrap your hand around it properly…particularly if you like to also pinch the stock/bag rider w thumb and index finger.
I also have PU ELR Pro and even w my small hands I can manage this bag.
I also have (swear these bags reproduce in the middle of the night! Lol) SSgt Taylor’s (
@Enough Said ) bag which also works very well in this regard. I used the Taylor for an entire 4 day clinic with these guys and didn’t feel the need to change bags and I had a few w me.
I would rec the ELR Pro or Marc Taylor’s bag. Either one, in my limited opinion.
Oh, and I can certainly attest to what
@lowlight was talking about. It was later in the day after 2 or 3 days of shooting in his and Marc’s PA clinic and I was tired and getting a bit lazy (hey, I’m getting to be an old fart and I’m entitled! Haha). Frank asked if he could shoot my rifle and of course I said yes.
We dialed up my dope on the scope….I think it was 800 yds but it might have been 600…but I think 800. Frank lays some in right on the water line. My dope was solid.
I drop down, same dope, and I’m just over the target to the high side…very consistent POI....but high every time...WTF, over?
In my laziness and fatigue I was letting the bag angle back on recoil thus raising the muzzle and shooting high. This was pointed out to me by Marc/Frank, I tightened up my act on the rear bag to keep it vertical thru the shot, and suddenly I too was on the waterline with the same dope.
A good practical lesson I won’t soon forget. Experience…you can’t buy it but you will pay for it.
Cheers
