Bunny Ear Rear Bag + Fclass Bipod

[kthomas]

Anyone here using an Fclass style bipod with bunny ear rear bag?

If so, what are you using?

I would like to get one to pair up with an LRA Fclass bipod with skis that I have, and JAE chassis's that have bag riders.

I understand that I would need a bag which has an ear width that matches up with my bag rider, but I get lost in the different models and what would work best for prone shooting. There seems to be varying bag heights, ear heights and materials that I'm stuck on.

I used to use a sinclair fclass bipod and protektor rear bag (13a I think). Worked great.

Call Protektor Model, tell them what you're trying to do and they'll recommend the right bag. They'll customize the stitching width on the ears to your bag rider if you give them the measurements.

I have never done any fclass shooting, but when I was researching rear bunny ear bags I ran across this Fclass John vid on the subject before he went full shilltuber:


Might be interesting.

I have that same bipod, also with ski feet. Never got on well with my bald eagle front rest and Protektor rabbit ear 13b, but both are well made.

Good luck man!

Edgewood is among the best rear bags available. You’ll need to purchase the heavy sand separate.

I would try to find a used joy pod x or a different bipod with more adjustment for height.

The challenge to using these types of rear bags is that the height is set and to get on target you will need to adjust the bipod to put the gun on target and stay on target through course of fire.

I shot f open so I’m not super familiar with the best bills for this but I saw the used joypads are going for around $600 when they come up

Those joypods seem slick, but definitely are quite the fiscal investment. Not sure if I'm prepared to spend that at the moment. But I can see how this would be a superior setup to the LRA Fclass bipod I'm trying to utilize.

Those Edgewood bags look nice though. I see Dima is another one commonly recommended. Protektor seems to have more mixed reviews. Whatever I go with will have to have a channel/"ear" width that will accommodate the JAE bag rider, which seems to be the limiting factor in bag selection.

I agree, elevation control seems to be the biggest limitation to this setup, and its my chief concern. I guess that's the tradeoff you make for increased stability, no free lunch in this game.

The used joy pod only seems to be about $100 more than the lra new.

A lot of guys will bring rubber pads to put under rear bag to help adjust it as well.


What bipod do you currently use? If they make ski feet for it it’s likely just as good as that lra. You really want something that will slide though so you can return to zero and get back on target.

I’m assuming you’re using this system to test ammo?

I see your point, but I already own the LRA bipod with ski feet. Bought it years ago with the intent of getting more involved in ELR shooting.

I'm looking into the bunny ear bag setup for 100 yard range use and to explore a potentially more precise setup that utilizes my LRA bipod.

I typically shoot with a Ckye-pod or Atlas bipod and squeezable rear bag.

Ah I understand looks like a solid unit. I thought you were looking to purchase. I would just look into some mats to put under the rear bag for additional adjustment then
