I currently have my front and rear bags filled with lead shot. Has some advantages but I know it wouldn't be allowed for match (25# keeps my portable bench very stable).
(1) I've read about a specific sand that is used but cannot recall just what it is. Is there something that is most commonly used by competitors that is readily available?
(2) I've been placing the front rest right behind the front swivel so I can be sure its always positioned for the next shot. I pull the gun rearward and stop it against the swivel.
Can someone share their approach setting up bags and rests correctly? I'm going to participate in my first 100/200 yard even in Gallatin Tn April 3 and would like to have this right.
I've never shot off a cement bench.
Thanks
Tom
