Re: Midway shooting mat
IMO they are OK for $20-25. They wear out but, what do you expect for $25.
The only negative is the side you lay on is black, which in the summer time gets HOT. Here in SCal when it's already +100F in the summer, I just lay on the dirt..........

Re: Midway shooting mat
There have been post on these in the past. Do a search and it should give you all the info you need. I do have one and for $25 its tough to beat.

Re: Midway shooting mat
Yep agree with both statements above! I scored mine when it was on sale and for that kind of money, it sure beats laying in the dirt. But buffybuster is correct, doesn't even have to be in the summertime, I used mine last month on a bright sunny day, went to lay back on it after a lunch break and the thing was HOT! Next time I will fold it in half on itself to help with the heat if taking an extended break.
But yea, $25, beats the hell out of nothing!

Re: Midway shooting mat
I also agree with everything said. For 25$ its a good deal. Dont forget to fold it back if in the sunlight, son of a gun it gets HOT!

Re: Midway shooting mat
Got one for my son for Christmas a while back and we both like it. My existing is a four-fold and heavier, from some place in Israel.
The only caution is that the hold-rolled straps are something like polypropylene and they doe NOT resist UV. Don't leave it in the back of the truck in the sun for a week or they will disintegrate.
I'm half done sewing in some replacement gen-u-ine nylon straps to hold it rolled up.

Re: Midway shooting mat
I haven't noticed any wear of any sort, though I'm not hard on it by any means. And yes, HOTTTTT!!!

Re: Midway shooting mat
Mine doesn't get hot....but it does get wet. Maybe it's a location specific issue.
