What's the best filler for gun rest bags?

[hermosabeach]

I am confused

That bag design is one that clamps onto the rifle..... not a bag under the rifle but the cross pattern that grabs the stock.

So if the bag weights 10 pounds..... your 6 pound rifle now recoils the same as a 16 pound rifle


So why are you not using heavy stuff so it absorbs the recoil???

I considered rice or lentils but if they get wet by some chance it could be messy. Plus the attraction of rodents. Kitty litter I imagine gets pulverized and then some dust seepage thru the seams. Sand is heavy.

Soooooooooooo I'm thinking plastic beads?

The cheapest I found "10 lb Clear round plastic pellets beads Corn Hole Bag Filler"

Only $24. for 10lbs.

I'm hoping 10lbs is enough for the Caldwell TackDriver Double Bag Shooting Rest as seen in this pic(?)

IMO sand is your best option as it never breaks down. And if you need more you can always find some in this state.

Corn cob tumbling media/rodent bedding from the feed store.
I've used it for years.

Works just fine.

I recently purchased Caldwell front and rear rests, filled the rear with walnut and front with corncob. I like the weights with this combo.
