I need a rear bag to start out with. What kind of bag are you using, and what do you use for fill?

I swap between my Armageddon Gear squishy, Tab Gear Rear bag, my right sock filled with sand after I’ve lent both of those bags out, and occasionally my heavy fill PSGC.
If you aren’t sure what you like, try what your buddies have or do what most of us do…buy a shit ton of them and see which for you the best and provide the best results. Sell the ones you don’t like or hold onto them for a few years until you realize you have too much stuff. At that point either donate them to a poor or sell em in the UGPX for three times retail.

for the Tab bag, you like the light fill or heavy fill?
Pint sized game changer or a wiebad tatertot, both with the heavy sand fill.
I run a pint sized game changer with their standard fill. I shoot long range/ elr I find it very versatile, I can flip it any way and use as a squeeze bag for what ever bipod height. I figured if anyone ever brings a prs match to my area it would double nicely. I would like to try out their shmedium also
I am not a PRS shooter but at some point I might be. I have played with a lot of bags and have found that my favorite rear bag is a Precision Underground ELR Mini Bag. My second favorite bag is an Armageddon Gear Pint Sized Gamechanger with heavy fill. The Gamechanger would be my choice if I could only have one because it is more versatile and can be used as a front and a rear bag.
Small Tab rear bag. Been using one for years.
Asking because it’s inexpensive and local, but are the Caldwell Dead shot Bags to be avoided?
Precision Underground.
Outstanding products.

I used a caldwell deluxe rear bag when I started. It works and they are cheap, but not ideal. If you need one today and that's what is available go for it
Yes, they are not worth it.
DIY sand bags instead or get some of the good ones mentioned allready.
We appreciate the love fellas. A lot of mentions of large barricade bags. They can work well, especially with sand…. but it’s a 6-8lb large bag that is basically setting you up to shoot bench rest. That’s 100% fine if that’s what you want to do but if you want to learn to shoot with fundamentals my advice is to get a rear bag.
I’m not saying that guys who use barricade bags in the rear don’t have fundamentals. A lot of them probably do. But as a less experienced shooter it will be difficult to learn proper fundamentals on a bag like that. You’ll tend to bury the stock in it rather than establishing a true NPA.
Our bags can give you the best of both worlds. The fill gives you the feel of a heavy sand bag without using a heavy sand bag. You can bury the stock in it and let it do all the work or you can connect the rifle to your body and work the bag to apply fundamentals. If you do it right our bags will lead you to better fundamentals because of the way they squeeze. You’ll naturally get the stock into your shoulder more to establish a true NPA which is the first step to good form IMO. Use code LetsGoBrandon for 10% off bags!

I've spent far too much money over the last few months looking for a good 1-and-done dedicated rear bag. I don't shoot comps so I don't need those fancy bags for barricades. My first bag was a Tab Gear Rear Bag (Large) and It is a great bag that worked for me for a long time. As I improved my skills and started shooting at different locations, I needed something shorter to get the stock lower. Long story short, I ended up with the Precision Underground ELR Mini for my short bag. Now I switch between the Tab Gear Large rear Bag and the PU ELR Mini depending on the situation. Here is a list of additional bags I have tried over the last few months:
Wiebad Mini Range Cube - Too big for my small hands, it would work better as a front bag on an irregular surface
CrossTac Tac Rear Squeeze Bag (sm & Lg) - I took the fill out of the small and replaced it with airsoft pellets. I'm still evaluating this and it doesn't seem to sink as much as the smaller fill material
Armageddon Gear X-Wing (sm & lg) - The small works ok and is similar to the PU ELR Mini but the ears don't fill and are ineffective in aiding elevation adjustment. The large has the same issue with the ears.
For anyone starting out looking for a rear bag, I would recommend starting with the PU ELR Mini or Tab Gear Small.

Another vote for the Precision Underground bag for a dedicated rear bag. I’m in the process of training with the pint sized gamechanger as well just because it’s what I use mostly for matches.
Armageddon Schmedium Gamechanger heavy fill.
AG Schmedium, sand fill, and about 1# of sand removed.
I just bought this exact bag. can already tell im gonna love it.
One bag for everything shmedium gamechanger, sand.
Run n gun bag
While I love Precision Underground for a rear bag, I also love my mini-fortune cookie for slinging over the sill of a box blind. Works wonderfully and it’s small and light enough to go in my pack.
It’s a very good product, IMO
which model do you use?
What model PU is that?
I use the mini ELR mostly
Is that the one pictured?
This is the standard ELR
FYI guys the ELR mini was updated to be a little skinnier. It used to be the exact same as the Rx just shorter and we had someone request it skinnier. It was pretty sweet and he loved it so we stuck with it. If you’d rather have the old version just request it in the notes. Also be sure you know roughly what height you need. Everyone is different and it’s highly dependent on your shooting angle. What works for one person/position may be too short of too tall for another.
pint sized game changer for light field carry, precision underground 3D ELR with standard (heavy?) fill for bench (most stable for me).
You’re an OG from the early days!
I have all three
If we had ambassadors you’d be one by now. Happy to help promote a product I like!You’re an OG from the early days!
You and your damn cats lol
Yo
Get scratched up much when you squeeze it for a bit of elevation?
You use that cat as a rear bag?

That would be bad for Kee Kat’s ears!
Kitty loves sleeping on my shooting bag and loves and usually picks the 3D bag with light fill as his preferred pillow
How the fuck is it supposed to hear pspsps if it's deaf?That would be bad for Kee Kat’s ears!
