TBJ wrote:As the Title Suggests I'm looking for a New sand bag or maybe even a Rest for shooting off the bench, and also maybe for shooting foxes and rabbits, I had a cheapo set of Spika front and rear that I got for $55, but they were never tall enough and have started to fall apart. What do you guys recommend? I was looking at the Caldwell Tack Driver, What do you guys think of them? what are some of your other suggestions?
Also on a side note, wondering about getting some steel targets for shooting, maybe some spinners or gallery style targets for .22 and maybe .223 and also some gongs for bigger stuff out a bit further at 300 or 400m plus saves me having to walk out every time. also for the gongs what sort of frame do you guys use to hang them?
Thanks
I just use a Caldwell rear bag on the bench, and just use my left hand under the butt in the field. I lay my left hand across my right bicep with the toe of the stock in the V of my thumb. Tiny muscle contractions are all that are required to adjust aim.
For gongs I have a five-foot length of 410UB that I stand on end for the rare occasions I want to shoot steel at longer distances, and a pile of half-size and fifth-size Silhouette targets. I prefer to recover my bullets though, which steel targets don't allow. I also have some of the .22LR flip-over re-settable targets that I've been using for practicing offhand. You hit the first one which flips up onto a rail, then shoot the next one, which knocks the first one down, and so on. I just set it up so the targets can flip around without worrying about getting caught.
