I'm pretty sure I left it at my unit, which means there is no way I'm going to have it for tomorrow...
I remember seeing something at walmart (it was a set, front and rear)
anyone know if it's any good so I can use that tomorrow?
or, fuh-get about it
I'm doing load testing, so I need a fairly stable platform, otherwise I Would just use my hand to rest it on.</div></div>
I have a set of the Winchester Wally world bags and they work just fine. You may want to take something to put under the front bag to get the elevation just right. Its not as tall as it could be and needs a booster depending on your setup. </div></div>
Got rained on. guess it wasn't meant to be.
I would just use the rear bag, I have an atlas up front </div></div>
I found my self in the exact same situation, having left my rear bag behind at a shoot, and needing one for the range. I went to Wally World and picked up the Winchester front/rear combo for $21.
I intend to return it asap. I'm sure it works for some, but it was a huge pain in the ass for me. The main section of it is too big, it's too bulky to comfortably give you just s small amount of elevation, and it's too stiff. To get any range, you need to move the bag, you can only get a tiny amount of adjustment from squeezing it. It's so big that if you want to use the taper, you need it in front of the rest rather than behind it, which has it's own set of issues.
not a fan.
If I can't get another rear bag sewn up for this weekend, I'll be trying out the sock filled with rice.
