So last year I shot this prone comp that goes out to a mile on one stage and has 2 positional stages. I bought a original game changer and loved it for the positional and as a rear bag it holds my gun super steady for groups and long range. My only gripe is it is a little wide for a rear bag. Been looking into the schmedium or a weibad mini fortune cookie. Just wonder which u think will be the best or should I get something completely different. I have about a month before this comp so I need to get something ordered asap.
 
I've had a lot of success this past year using my pump pillow as a rear bag while shooting prone. I kind of wedge it into/under my armpit, and use it to support my shoulder, head, and buttstock all at once. It sounds awkward and definitely not the first thing people would think of as a rear bag, but there's no other way I'd shoot prone if given the choice now.

Sorry if I've misunderstood the question; if you're looking for a single bag that would double duty as a positional bag as well as a rear support, I'd probably suggest others.. but as a rear support specific bag its got my vote.
 
Bought them all, have a shelf full of bags "that looks like it will work" to prove it. Waxed canvas material is the way to go, schmedium size is the way to go.
I to have several most cheap bags that they fill way to much. The game changer made me see that there is something to what I always called " over priced bags" lol. It's just a little to wide for what I use it for. I think the schmedium will perfect. I don't like to carry alot of bags so I'm hoping this can be the one and only.

Oh, BTW heavy fill is the way to go also. Yes, it's a 8# brick to carry but the lite fill plastic beads suck (in any manufacturers bag) they will not set and stay in any position.
