What do you fill in your shooting rest with?

[boscoebrea]

I know some use rice. What kind of beans work well? No sand for me, what do you use?

 

[Vana2]

I use whole corn. Makes for a firm but malable/adjustable rest.

I just have to remember to bring the bag in or the deer and/or squirrels steal it.

I use this but I prefer sand because it’s heavier.

Aquarium gravel.

I originally said navy beans but I remembered I had to change it because a mouse got into it.

Cornhole bean bags are good too. Stack 2 or 3 and wrap them in shrink wrap.

Black Zircon sand. Heaviest sand you can get, so they say. You could use that rear bag as gym equipment.

I've had that rear bag for ~30yrs.

Depending on the fit and finish of your bag material, some filling products may work better than others. Some prefer something malleable, others need weight and firmness. I've tended to use some 6mm plastic BBs from my airsoft days that have held up pretty well, i can shape the bag(s), but they're rather light. Nice when carrying them around but you can scoot them on occasion. I've gotten used to that and like being able to adjust that way sometimes.

Started using a soft bag only recently.
Rice for now but I want to change it ... too gritty especially with a high power BR scope the image jumps too much.
