By Chrystal from USA on 2010-05-06 14:46:25 Things I liked:Very well made. Quite stable on fences, where I take a lot of my hunting shots. Very versatile, as indicated by the "closer look" pictures.Things I would have changed:It's a little smaller than I expected. The picture isn't misleaing, I was just hoping for around 8" of rest height in the rolled-up position. This tops out at around 5". What others should know:Surprisingly, it comes pre-filled with sand. I would have thought it would be shipped empty to save money, but this was a welcome feature. It has fill tabs on each section that are loosely sewn shut, so if you want to empty it and use another media, like rice, you can. |  |

- Things I liked:I love it. I bought two of them because everyone wanted to use it. It's the perfect size, and it's great if you want to be able to put it on a deck railing as you can have one bag resting on the railing and a bag on each side of the railing for support.
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:In it's tallest configuration it is only 5" high so if you are expecting a larger bag this one is is not it. - Things I liked:I really like this one, very good quality and very balanced. Like the way it comes apart and you can drape it over a rail or the back of a chair.
Things I would have changed:I think it's great just as it is.
What others should know:I recommend this to anyone who target shoots alot like I do. - Things I liked:Great item
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:its just awesome - Things I liked:This is a sturdy little rest that can be put together in multiple configurations. Further, it seems I can shoot my Nitro Venom Dusk off of it without putting my hand underneath in your typical "artillery" hold. This makes it even easier to shoot a spring rifle accurately. Firm enough to lay the springer on directly, but has enough give that it mirrors a handheld artillery hold.
Things I would have changed:As all other reviews state, this is a smaller bag. When I shoot off my picnic table I have to prop up this rest with something underneath to get it the right height for comfortable shooting.
What others should know:If you shoot a spring powered rifle (or even a gas spring like mine) you don't want to shoot off your typical gun rest that you use for firearms. Typically those rests try to hold the gun firm. Doesn't allow the springer to jump around like it should. This rest really does the trick for me. I can sight in my rifle with confidence. - Things I liked:shaping and use for my son is good
Things I would have changed:SIZE. for the price, a good sized set was expected...not small. each one size of a filled youth sock.
What others should know:well weighted suede works out great for my little boy - Things I liked:This is a good quality rest with good amortization.
Things I would have changed:it is expensive for a bag with sand, especially such a small one
What others should know:this thing is of good quality, but it is small about 10cm in hight and 15cm in length. each of the 3 parts composing the whole Bag is a cylinder with approx 5cm in diameter. it is quite good for banch shooting if the banch already has a good hight - Things I liked:nice product at a good price. like the flexibility of config, using it for initial set up of new airguns
Things I would have changed:would like to see a larger version - Things I liked:You can adjust the configuration of the rest guickly and easily. Small size makes it very mobile. Solid construction. Good value.
Things I would have changed:Bags are stiff, a little softer top bag would be nice. A slightly larger size would be great.
What others should know:Product is smaller than expected, but works well if you have something solid to rest it on. I use an old carpeted car stero speaker box that puts the bag at the right height on my bench. - Things I liked:pre-filled
Things I would have changed:smaller than I imagined. - Things I liked:It really helps my aim. I am a plinker and have a variety of guns that I shoot at 10-20 yds. Using this bag has helped my accuracy. No doubt.
Things I would have changed:Make it bigger.
What others should know:This product is very small. I have to place it atop of stack items to get a decent height. Small is nice if you are in the field, but I shoot in basement and off deck and the size is too small on it's own.. but buy it anyway. it helps your aim. - Things I liked:Leather on top bag and nylon material are thicker than I expected. Many bags arrive and need filled with sand, but these were already filled.
Things I would have changed:I would have liked this bag to be a little higher, but I placed a towel over the top bag and it is just right.
What others should know:Good quality for the price. - Things I liked:Creates a pretty stable platform in a fairly wide variety of circumstances. Works well rolled up or unrolled. Velcro straps are long enough to adjust the distance between the bottom two rolls slghtly. Sand inside alows the rest to conform to the forestock and maintain its shape shot after shot. Great product.
Things I would have changed:Maybe some sort of gun oil or lubricant resistant coating on the suede? Hard to improve on this I think.
What others should know:Not too surprisingly the plastic bag this came in was a little sandy inside so you may want to open and brush it off lightly outside to avoid getting fine sand on the furniture. I opened it on my desk and then had to carefully clean up the fine grit it left behind. No biggie though. I am very happy with this purchase. - Things I liked:Extremely versatile, durable, excellent quality. By fastening the velcro strap at different points on the 'tongue' you can slightly separate the two bottom rolls and widen the base to tweak the height. By unfastening it completely you can unroll them and drape the bottom rolls over a branch, post or stand, and even strap them together again down low.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. Be aware the bags are heavy, but they have to be, to be effective! Whoever came up with this design is a genius. The craftsmanship and subtle design features are really nice.
What others should know:Once you have the bags set up as you like them you may want to whack the suede surface of the top bag once with the edge of your hand (light karate chop) to indent the surface that you will rest the forearm of your gun on. Otherwise your gun will do it for you, and after five or six shots you will find the gun resting an inch or two lower than when you started. - Things I liked:Very well made. Quite stable on fences, where I take a lot of my hunting shots. Very versatile, as indicated by the "closer look" pictures.
Things I would have changed:It's a little smaller than I expected. The picture isn't misleaing, I was just hoping for around 8" of rest height in the rolled-up position. This tops out at around 5".
What others should know:Surprisingly, it comes pre-filled with sand. I would have thought it would be shipped empty to save money, but this was a welcome feature. It has fill tabs on each section that are loosely sewn shut, so if you want to empty it and use another media, like rice, you can. - Things I liked:It is very well made,heavy enough,and quite versatile in its shooting positions. It works great.
Things I would have changed:Nothing I can think of right now.
What others should know:I use mine for shooting a pistol with this rest as described by Tom Gaylord on one of his recent blogs. Aug. or Sept. of 2009.
