Unsupported Rear Shooting

[SN13]

Wow.

So I went out and shot with my new rifle and I had given my old rear bag to my buddy shooting next to me.

I hadn't used a rear bag in a long time opting to use my own offhand under my stock....

So I moved over and shot one from my buddy's rifle and my old rear bag. DAMN. talk about 100% more solid. No reticle bounce from heart beats, no jiggle waiting for the reticle to hit the center for the shot to release.

I need to get a new rear bag.

That precision underground 3d elr is calling your name.

I just got in precision shooting and haven't gotten a rear bag yet. I wanted to get good with nothing but my bipod and support hand.

But, going to my first 1k plus range I was the only one not using one. So I'm considering getting one as well and use both techniques.

By far my favorite bag - https://www.tabgear.com/products/rear-bag heavy fill.

I had 2 precision undergrounds, and a cole-tac and this was the perfect bag. Introduced to me at the Alaska Precision Rifle course and Marc had a bunch and I tried them out along with a few other students and it was perfect.

Don't just consider it, get one, it's essential equipment and a really good one is only about $20 or so. It's foolhardy to be starting out in precision rifle shooting without a rear bag, there's no reason you should be handicapping yourself from the get go.

UP 3dELR is like $90
Tabgear small bag is $20.

I hear good things about the Tabgear and for $20 it's a place to start.

I have a Tab Gear... I have a Precision Underground ELR bag. I don't believe the 3D ELR should be used for a dedicated prone bag, it's a versatile bag, but I'd go with more of the ELR style for dedicated prone shooting fundamentals. If you don't like the Tab and want the precision underground let me know as I haven't used mine in months and it's just sitting in the garage somewhere.

Is the small with heavy fill (Tabgear) a good place to start or should i opt for the large or the light fill?

Go with small with heavy fill. Unless you're like 6'2+ and might need a taller bag.

ALWAYS!!! use a rear bag there’s way too many benefits to having one vs not.

I personally use and like the Armageddon Gear Squishy Rear Bag. It lends well to being used as front barricade support too if needed.

I'll be getting one. Either Precision Underground ELR or Armageddon X Wing.

TAB Gear rear bag for me. Shooting without it is a waste of time for what I'm doing.
