Have a Midway competition mat, great for range use, but really too heavy to lug a long ways. I used mine p-dog hunting, but that was only a few hundred yards from the truck.
I have a TAB mat, folds up into a nice little square to fit in a pack (yes is made to role up but find it takes up less room folded). I use it at classes or when space is an issue. I have a midway usa premium mat I think they sell for around 45 bucks, not bad but super bulky. Only time I use it is if I am going to be spending a lot of time in prone and have an empty back seat to transport it in. Reality is I use my TAB mat 98% of the time.
I really want to buy the Triad Tactical shooting mat, but would prefer if it had the fast tex buckles instead.
I like when the buckles on things are keep simple, quick & easy.

I use this one from US Tactical Supply. I love it because it stays on my pack. The only thing I did is I added a zipper so I can separate the mat, instead of having to remove the whole pouch if needed.
"Ex Umbris Venimus"
I have had my eye on this one also from US Tactical Supply for awhile, really like the idea of clear plastic pouch for drop chart and the bipod straps for loading. My local range is cement so kind of hard to load bipod. Does anyone know of any other brands that offer this type of strap or the sewn in ridge for bipod loading?
Edit.........Never mind just found one at Midway...CrossTac Precision LR Mat (Padded $150-$200) and the CrossTac Recon (LW no padding $75). I do like the sound of both of these depending on your weight restrictions or features desired. Kinda cool idea on the RECON, Multicam on one side and ATACS-AU on the other! Might be handy for Coyote Hunting during different times of year.

I picked up the Midway pro series mat for 35 bucks on sale a few years back it does the job quite well. Still solid no rips or tears.
I use the Triad mat and its great! Its very portable, has plenty of padding (I used it on gravel and concrete with no issues). Very well made as you would expect from Triad. I was gonna go with a cheaper one from midway but figured I go with something made in the USA that I wouldn't need to replace.
Edit: One guy mentioned the lack of fastex buckles but these are plenty fast. Its not like you will be using than more than twice in most shooting sessions. Plus you won't step on these and break them.
Thanks for the feedback.
What would something like the Triad mat cost to send to Australia with USPS?
For international orders, we ship with either UPS or USPS Priority Mail International. UPS costs more but is much faster. The shopping cart will show you the exact cost during checkout.
From memory I paid ~$45 shipping for the Triad matt and some other items, to get them over to Aus. Id do it again too, its a killer piece of gear.
Have used TAB, Midway, and bag/mat setups. Fav is TAB but would like to try Triad if the opportunity comes up
+1 on the Midway Pro Series shooting mat. I bought mine for a course this summer and was really impressed with it (more than I thought I would be). The only complaint I had was the OD green color really soaked up the heat (Wyoming summer - + 100 degrees...everything was hotter than hell). But everyone who tried it out was impressed. Best $50 I spent this summer.
Tab or Triad if its for field use. I have a Tac Pro or Tac Force (One of the 2) carry case type and it stays in back of my truck for last 5 years and still doing good. To heavy to take by itself. The Midway is good for places where you don't lug it around very far.
Good LUck!
