What's with the KMW Pod-Loc and Triad rear bag?
For a lower cost alternative.. Use the T-Nuts bipod handle from: http://t-nuts.com/index.php?cPath=73 Make your own rear bag by picking up "Poly-Beads" from your local hobby store such as Micheals: http://www.michaels.com/art/online/home Put it into a small/medium sock that doesn't stretch too much and zip tie closed. One hell of a write up though.. Last edited by wildcard; 08-20-2009 at 7:32 AM.. |

The sock and poly beads better be heavy duty. The triad bag is a much better solution. For guys that use them in all conditions and terrain, the cordura is far less likely to rip, tear, or be damaged. That said, if you're handy with a sewing machine, cordura isn't too expensive for some scraps.

Well thought out post, perhaps this should be a sticky.

Even sheets of 1000 Ballistic Nylon isn't too expensive when you buy it by the yard and consider how much many units of whatever you get out of it. Can't have too many layers when you sew it without the right machine though . |

I'm with you on the bag thing though. For quick moving, versatile, improvised positions, etc., I like a glove.

I made a bag out of a sock and rice. I left the bag in the garage for a week and came back and mice ate holes in it. Well being the cheap *** scottish man that I am I just threw another sock on it and added some more rice. Well it happened a few more times and I now have 2.5 pairs of socks holding my rear bag together. Moral of the story, I could have bought a triad bag for the price of socks I invested into my current one.

With rice, be careful not to get it wet as rice is Hygroscopic. I realize that by posting a list of equipment recommendations that there are cheaper alternatives. This list was NOT about "how to get started for the least money". The list is about known-good gear. There will always be do-it-yourself alternatives for those that are capable.

Also, should a shooting glove be added to the list seeing as how some matches dont allow rear bags? Creedmore sports makes a cheap one that has worked really well for me.

Between my creedmore and my champions choice glove, the champions choice is the clear winner...and cheaper to boot. Its definitly a good thing to add to the list.

Essentially the same as a rear bag except it's easier to take with you when you're on the move.
It's not as stable as a rear bag especially one your heart beat gets going.. but it's a good compromise. |

Ok but how does the glove benefit over just using your bare hand. Is it padded similar to a bag or is it to keep your hands clean our of the dirt Sorry I've just never heard of a glove for precision shooting

Its padded and gets rid of a lot of movement compared to your bare hand. Night and day difference.

I don't see your glove on sale.. you know.. the one with the built in bean bag

Lol. I wish. But the padding is a little better than the Creedmoor glove. Its a little more dense and seems more stable.

You can still make hits with your bare hand sitting back there or even grabbing your bicep if you need to aim a bit lower. Gloves, like a bag, just makes it easier and more comfortable.

Two thoughts/questions:
- would a hockey/lacrosse glove work? - how important is a light colored shemagh vs. a dark one? I found that's badass black with grey skulls, but black seems like it would be hot beyond belief on a 100* day... but it is light cotton?

I have used a cut up hockey glove before. It usable. They have alot of padding and creates a stable support if positioned well. Also, youd be surprise how much of a diffeerence in felt temp colors can make. I remember lying on a dark mat under the sun thinking it was hot and then being surprised at how much cooler a light colored mat felt to lay on.

Randall, you continue to amaze me. The effort you put out for all of us "pro bono" is really appreciated by me and I hope all the rest of CaPRC. I'll be down at Camp Pendelton for the weekend shoot and I'll try to represent us as best I can. Maybe someday I can follow in Ryan's foot steps

So all those rifle setups can touch 1k effectively and efficiently if the shooter knows what he's doing and buys the right ammo? Interesting.

Yes.
