Accurate Shooters

[Sleepy]

For those of you that are shooting precision groups, how are you resting your gun?

Front bag and rear bag?

Bipod and rear bag?

Or something else?

What seems to work best for you when shooting for precision?

Almost exclusively use the Atlas in front and Weibag or similar in the rear.

The answer here, at least for me, is whatever gets my natural point of aim solid.

I mainly use a bald eagle rest up front and protektor bag in the rear.

I would practice the way you will mainly shoot. Since I mainly hunt from a blind and rest my gun on the window this setup works well.

Occasionally I'll shoot off a bipod, but I don't really have an opportunity to shoot that way when hunting so rarely finding myself using the bipod.

Bipod and rear bag mainly.

I need to buy (another) good presidium front rest.

A lot depends on your shooting style. I prefer to free recoil or with the bigger calibers roll with the punch unless it's my 45-70 with hot loads then it's hold on for dear life. Since this is my shooting style I can't stand bipods and use a adjustable front rest and rear sandbag. Depending on the flexibility of the stock and barrel weight, I try to keep the front bag about midline of the fore end. Just don't forget the other parts of precision shooting, a good shooting technique/form with a steady rest will go a lot further than the fanciest rest
and jerking the trigger.

Here's my heavily modified Caldwell fire control rest that weighs 28 pounds and doesn't move. I've been meaning to upgrade but it must be doing ok if I can get zeroes and ones out of it.

this is a Speedy Ultra rest which I sold




Current rests I own - Sinclair Competition


Bald Eagle Slingshot with modified fine tuning knobs - picture probably 15 yrs old
pretty sure my camera at the time was a Sony Mavica which used 3.5" floppy discs

I’d love to see some of the toys you have had over the years buddy!

Build and rear bag for me. Don’t have time for much else.


Sierracharlie out…

I always shoot off of a bipod and my new favorite rear bag is by Mile High Shooting. I have a bald eagle front rest but rarely use it. Starting to shoot more off of tripods as well. High end tripods are nearly as stable as prone.

Front and rear bag and I don't get fancy. Caldwell from academy. And half the time I use my evo bipod and a rear bag.

lead sled works pretty well on top of a sturdy table...
