    Help needed.. recommendation shooting bag

    Wondering if anyone can recommend a decent sandbag front rest for rifle shooting at the local Airgun club..?

    Also where to buy? 😁

    Many thanks,

    Matt

    12-18'' of the leg of an old pair of jeans, sown with a double seam at one end, filled with play-pit sand until you get the desired height/consistency, then seamed at the other end.

    I have the guntuff ones, sand escapes constantly from all the seams, I'm almost afraid to use it for fear of sand getting in the gun, there's a sandy patch where the bag is stored at home and there's a sandy patch in the car from transporting it. I've refilled the rear bag with a mixture of plastic pony beads and loom bands (crap I had floating around at home), works ok, but I didn't have enough beads to fill the front one as well. If you buy this type of bag I'd recommend something a bit bigger than sand to fill it, maybe rice or lentils.

    Injection moulding companies . When I was at Bausch and Lomb in Livingston I got some that had fallen from a burst sterile bag (we used them to make the moulds for the contact lenses ) I took them home and washed them and gave them to my cousin that made teddies for babies baby clothes as keepsakes .


    You can buy them online for making soft toys . My cousin used to buy them from a craft supplier in England . commonly known as poly pellets.
