Dude, you're not the only one! First time I had the Shmedium I laid down and shot a 1" group at 100, I thought my load had gone to shit. Switched over to my WC OG GC as a rear bag and back to 3/8" groups. I still haven't practiced with it as a rear bag since then. But on barricades and props the Shmedium is amazing...
I don’t feel like typing “wax canvas original gangster game changer” every timewhat the f is a WC OG GC..... DRIVES me nuts when people abbreviate...seriously that hard to type of the words...OMG!! WTF, RYFKM, ROFLOL!!!!!!
I’ve been using that pack for over a year. I’m going to finally spend the money on a decent hunting pack and stop buying $1-200 packs that just don’t work well (for me). The best feature is it has a hard bottom/frame so it stands up when you put it on the ground. The thing I hate the most is it has NO freaking waterbottle (or tripod) pockets! WTF, do companies think when you use a pack for 10 hours you don’t need water? So I end up keeping water inside the pack, which takes up space, then when I need room for an article of clothing or something it’s a cluster to pack it.I am trying this pack out now. I saw one at a match not long ago and I think it may work. Need a way to attach tripod but hopefully i can come up with something for that. Gonna keep binos in back pocket and ammo in middle pocket and bags on the bottom.

The front pockets are so shallow that they’re pretty useless for anything other than pens, keys, wallet, etc.
Been using one for a couple of years now, super top quality. Big enough, you can definitely pack too much shit in this bag. Only had one occasion it made sense to use the rifle scabbard (for the rifle) but that deep space comes in handy for many other things.I just got the low drag II to try as a bag. I feel like I am going to like it for PRS. I use the bottom part of the main compartment for mini GC and that crazy heavy 16 lb fortune cookie and on the shelf above it is where i put my ammo.
Did you mention food, water, extra socks, undergarments? You said 2 day match, so I'm assuming you're prepping to do some real movement. And do you really really need to carry everything around, all the time, forever?
I used these for many years for work:
I present to you the USMC Individual Load Bearing Equipment Main Pack:
For you Gucci gear people ... it was designed by Arc'teryx, manufactured by Propper.

Has MOLLE webbing to attach all your pockets/pouches you want, each side has straps and a elastic pockets on the bottom originally designed to hold a mortar tube on one side and sleeping bag pad on the other. You could put a rifle on one side and a tripod on the other.
Now your just being cruel! I'm a huge Cole-tac fanboy and am in need of a better pack. You gotta have some teaser pics or something! Lol!
So are you saying you put QD mounts on your pack shoulder straps?Fyi.... i sling my rifle off of the shoulder straps.. but across my chest. Clip on qd points. That way weight isn't all behind me
That’s a good point, but this thread is supposed to be about coming up with something that is more efficient. I already have three packs and if I buy another one I want it to be the last one. Perhaps there is a better way. It’s not that I can’t make what I have work for me. It’s that I think someone can make a better mousetrap.My question is why TF are you putting your rifle in a scabbard after a stage to walk a 20 yards to the next one or maybe a couple hundred yards to the other side of the facility? That sounds like an absolute PITA and you're putting a dirty possibly muddy gun in and out of a compartment plus the time it takes to do it ten times a day. Not to mention the additional weight of the pack to get on your shoulders, additional weight on your back, and balance.
Just get a high quality pack like a Mystery Ranch and carry your rifle in your hand, slung across the front (way better balance), or on your shoulder like normal people.
Funny. I built one from scratch exactly for this after hearing from several of the major manufacturers at SHOT that there wasn’t enough market in PRS for them to even mess with it. I explained that you have competitors who have invested tens of thousands of dollars in world-class optics, LRFs, tripods, rifles, and gear that needs to be protected and there aren’t a lot of solutions out there that do this well.
I had been wanting to make a Sniper-specific ruck for a long time anyway, where ease of access to all the common equipment is similar.
I started by specifying all the essential items that would be carried, how I wanted to be able to have quick access to them, and how it all would work together from a functional standpoint. Then to the drawing board.
All of the pouches have 3 layers. Outer is Cordura, middle is padding to prevent any damage to optics, radios, ammunition, LRFs, etc. Inner layer is 400D pack cloth. Even the zipper flats aside each zipper have these 3 layers.
Detachable top flap turns into a mini E&E bag that can also integrate into a chest kit or stand alone as a mini pack.
Camelbak pouch is integrated into the back pad above the padded waist belt. Camelbak hose routes through the shoulder straps so there are no/minimal snag hazards and headaches normally associated with Camelbaks.
To say that this was labor-intensive would be an understatement. For a lot of the more field-oriented matches that I’ve RO’d, I think a minimalist chest kit with your ammo, smaller optics, Kestrel, and LRF makes a lot of sense.
It was a lot more than whipping it up. I think I spent at least 2 weeks on that, very labor-intensive.really bro? just whipped some shit up like this? making us all look like HACKS!
that has to be some of the most impressive DIY shit ive ever seen. unreal!
I use a lot of clamps to hold pieces together for final assembly when binding.@LRRPF52 Super impressive. Really clean work. Both of those look great. Care to start a PM and I can pick your brain about some of your stitching and technique? I am always looking to learn so I can make my gear better.

I’ve been sewing since the 1980s, made or modified a lot of my gear when I was in.
I need to make an MC version of this for myself. I’ve been wanting to make a grab-and-go LR shooting and range pack for a while now that carries all the essentials, with my approach to padded pouches.
Here’s a minimalist chest kit I made for PRS/Hunting for a forum member here:
None taken. Sorry if that came across like being an Angus.in no way was I downplaying your effort or attention to detail. just by the looks of that bag it appears to be nothing but top notch. very impressive sir.

I’m building a bigger shop in a new place right now to make my work-through go smoother.
Let me know what you come up with. Unfortunately since the side pockets zip open, putting a tripod or bottle holder there will limit access.So, I got my GPS pack today and played around with loading it up. I think it will work pretty good. I’m gonna come up with something for the tripod and just molle in a drink holder. I will post some pics when i figure out what I am gonna do but right now I think I am pleased with it. I got the tall one that has the pistol sleeve in the back also and its perfect for my 15x56 Swaros inside the pistol case.
