Edgewood Twisted/Offset Ear Rear Bag

[Ccrider]

Just wondering what you guys thoughts are about Edgewood’s offset and twisted ear bags? They lost as an option that you can have the ears offset so that your hand has more space to rest on the bag. Or, you can order the “Twisted Gater” bag that is actually offset.

I like having the space on the bag to rest my trigger hand. I have not seen any reviews on these options. Is there some problem with them?
From Edgewood:
Option: Sewing the ears onto the bag top with a slight twist kicks the front of the bag toward the hand for more handrest area. If you'd like your ears put on with a twist, please specify this in the comments section during checkout, and if you are right- or left-handed. There is no charge for this option.”

Nice

Twisted works well and doesn’t seem to affect tracking. I have both Protektor’s and Edgewood and they perform similarly but the Edgewood’s build quality and craftsmanship is a step up.

These are both twisted ears with different ear materials.

Here's my question...
If a 6 br weighing 16 lbs only has around 7 lbs of felt recoil, why do we need 20 lb rear bags??

When you say " We" ,does that mean you use one ? If not,why not ?

I've got a SEB and love it. I wouldn't be opposed to an Edgewood but I'd be very opposed to going back to a straight bag. The hand rest is sweet IMHO.

Hey Mike,
Does SEB make a twisted ear option?

 

[JFrank]

I could have asked why would (I)
Need one?

No I don't own a 20 lb rear bag.

If you want one that's fine, each to there own.

Gotta have a reason to have a bad back so be sure to use plenty of heavy sand

I'm not sure about his current product line but I have one that is a few years old. The Seb is actually quite a bit cheaper too, fwiw. I'd call Ernie or Mike R and ask about it.

I already have a bad back

@SPJ
Recoil is far from the only concern when it comes to bag upset. Weight/ballast helps greatly to counteract many of the variables (bolt lift/closer, torque, heavy recoil, shoulder deflection, misalignment, etc.).

Thank you Donavan for that quality answer to a simple question.
Much Respect

I had one in the past, liked it a lot, but it is a load to tote around. Ended up going back to a smaller bag when I needed a new one with wider ear spacing.
