Under your rear shooting bag/rest?

[TommyD11730]

Back in the day I had a little non skid "mat" I used under my rear bag. It helped keep the bag from moving under recoil. I shoot off a smooth concrete bench top.

Just wondering if people still use these little lift raft looking things?

Thanks guys.

I use an Edgewood dead bottom.

Dead Bottom

The Deadbottom will correct any bottom "bulge" that can develop on worn out bags. It also creates a flat surface to stabilize any bag and increases the overall height by 3/4". All Edgewood products are hand made. Please allow 3-4 weeks for delivery.

I used to use an anti-skid sheet from MSC. But I found that just wiping the top to remove dust and pollen and dampening the concrete top works just as well.

I use one of these- it seems to help stabilize the rear bag.

#13, #14 & Deluxe BB Bag Stabilizer

The Standard Bag Stabilizer is for rear bags that need stability or added height. It is deigned to be used by setting the rear bag directly on top. The outer edges are sewn and filled with sand to help stabilize the bottom of the bag or level out an uneven surface. Makes your bag rock solid. *Be...

I had a deal made by Protektor for My DR bag. I have since cut a
1/8th" piece of non skid rubber and cemented it to the full bottom
and trimmed. Wished I did it years ago.....

I cut a couple of pieces of liner for tool box drawers. No slip. My portable bench has a laminate top.

I use a piece of 3/4" pine with the non skid drawer liner stapled to both sides. I also needed the elevation in the rear bag.

Purchased this self-adhesive non-skid material from Lowes. Holds pretty good on wood and concrete so far. The black spray on rubber paint worked well for awhile until it began to peel off.

If you happen to know any lineman, ask them for a old rubber blanket they can be cut to bag size and work great

Give one a try. Any of our old ones that get a hole in them I try to bring home they make for many good uses.

I may take a little looking around, but a full sheet of coarse sanding screen works well, with no bounce.

Skate tape on the bottom of the bag.

I shoot F class, so not from a bench. Firing points all vary on the ground, some slope back. So I have several pieces of 3/4 plywood cut to stack if needed. I gave them a light coating with the spray on Flexseal, to prevent shifting. Sometimes I need to raise my rear bag with a couple blocks if I can’t get front rest low enough.

I use a piece of carpet sample, cut to fit my custom shooting bench for critters and also works well at the range. some carpet maybe a little more or less 'slippery'. I also have a block or two if I need a little height.

The best one I've ever used had a piece of 3/16s stainless steel glued to the bottom of the bag that was just about 1/4 inch bigger all the way around the bag. It made the bag sit super flat and stable. I doubt it would be legal in any form of competition, but it sure did work well.

I need to make something like that.
Where I normally shoot it’s often bumpy and my bunny ear bag I like to use for my 338 is sometimes hard to get settled.

Same, except I carry 3 different thicknesses for varying range setups

Get a rosin stick used by baseball players at a sporting goods store.

I use a 10mm steel plate. I have my bag on the mat, so the weight keeps it steady. The SEB bag grips pretty good.
