I am looking for some new bags I was interested in the game changer bags but there are to many choices for material and size. I know they all have specific applications. If you could only get one or two what material and size would you choose. I am also looking at the precision rifle underground 3d ELR for a rear bag. What do you guys like or recommend. The reason I ask is I'm looking to start shooting some prs matches. Thanks

I have a couple bags from Crosstac that I really like. Bags are really personal, especially rear bags because it's a function of how you drive the rifle, you just have to experiment. I've sent in an email to PURG asking about what bags they recommend with the MPA Matrix chassis as that's my next rifle platform. Right now, with the Sentinel KMW, the shape of the stock and this bag work really well for me

I pretty much stick with the game changer, their new Shmedium mid-size bag is my absolute perfect bag. Only had it for a week but I've already given away my pint size and might be getting rid of my full size as well. I'd highly recommend the waxed canvas version of whichever size as well.
You are the second person that recommended the shmedium waxed. The other one he suggested was the pint size sticky heavy fill. Those are the two bags I'm going to go with i think for right now
 
If you are wanting to buy bags for PRS, just go to a PRS match and ask to borrow some from others there and see what you like. It’s a big fat waste of money to buy what you presume will work ahead of time based on other’s opinions.

I have a bunch of bags Tab Gear, Red Tac Gear game changer's but right now my favorite rear bag is the Precision Underground ELR, for me it is just really stable when you get the rifle set, the 3D ELR is my next purchase, all the bags mentioned here are good bags just need to find one that works best for you, if you're like me probably going to end up with a shit ton of bags, like Crews said find somewhere you can try some bags and see what you like,
 
I only carry 2 bags at matches now: ELR Rear Bag and Armageddon Gear Pint Size Heavy fill waxed gamechanger. The sticky gamechangers for me seem to be a gimmick and I think it causes more issues than it solves. The Shemedium seems nice and I would like to try it. There are times I wish my pint size had more real estate, but I really dig the heavy sand fill of the pint size.

I have a feeling you'll waste a bunch of money on bags you don't like until you find one you do like.

Or maybe you'll get lucky. I didn't, and I tried quite a few bags.

My favorite rear bags are the str8laced bag and precision underground elr bag. I'm leaning more towards the str8laced because it's easier for me to just squeeze one side of the bag to make elevations adjustments vs trying to grab the whole bag. I also changed the fill to a some oblong plastic pellets I got from hobby lobby.

I think precision underground makes a similar sized bag to the str8laced that comes with their superior fill. That's probably what I'll try next.
 
for PRS matches

pick your size of a Waxed Canvas full size or new shmedium bag. can't go wrong with the full size - but definitely do waxed canvas.

or try a waxed canvas fortune cookie/mini fortune cookie from wiebad

overall I prefer the AG bags. one bag can really do it all (for me)
