Edgewood Sand bag rests.

[ARIZONA_F_CLASS]

Are the Edgewood Sandbag rests with carry handles legal for FTR and F OPEN?

 

[Turbulent Turtle]

Why would they not be? As long as they are not attached to the bipod, front rest or rifle, they should be fine.

 

[ARIZONA_F_CLASS]

This is why I asked. The handle makes the base longer.

The grab handle is attached and part of the rest.

Damn, I hope so! Jason and Lester finally talked me into one last week.

The grab handle is attached and part of the rest.

That's the way I interpret it also.

I have a new one right here and I see no advantage over the average rest as far as stability. The handle is a loop of layered leather that the base is made of. It can be lifted 1/2" before the rest lifts. The footprint is the same as the mini gator but with less sand volume. Just easier to pick up and carry.

They are fine. There were lots of them in use at the Nationals last year - including mine.

I will share this with you that I recently saw a top shooter with his bag clamped to a board. This was a constructed bag and within the rules. The board was within the width and attached. I am considering doing the same to a smaller protector bag I have that works well with son's rifle.
