    ARE YOU A BAG SQUEEZER?

    Re: ARE YOU A BAG SQUEEZER? I typically use just my fist, no bag. Push my fist against my bicep, squeeze/move/open/close as needed to raise the heel of the stock. If I have to raise the rear of the stock quite a bit, I'll grab my bicep with my claw hand. Pointed bottom of the stock sits in...

    rear bag or mono pod ???

    Re: rear bag or mono pod ??? GRAB the rear monopod with your fist. I see comments suggesting they don't like the thing on soft surfaces, compared to a beanbag because of the monopod's small footprint compared to the bag.
