DIY light weight compact shooting mat

[Ring]

figured paying 80 to 100+ for something this easy was silly, so her it goes...

about a yard and a 1/2 of 1000d water proof backed cordura...
a space blanket, and some thin neoprene sheets.. and some 550 cord

its wide enough to fold in 1/2 and have plenty of room to go from my elbow to elbow and down to my knees...

stitch it like a pillow case, i put in 550 loops on the corners if i need to stake it down..


cut the space blanket and spray with some spray glue to adhere...

attache neoprene and turn inside out after stitching the 2 sides...

stitch closed... run a few stitches across the top section with the neoprene to keep it in place and done...

now u have more $$$ to spend on ammo...

I paid my wife's choice upholstery guy $15 to stitch on an extra 3 feet of waterproof material on to midway mat. That included the material. This helps moderate the dust out here in the desert!
