brandnewcombineharvester Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 thought i would be a bit smart and canibalize an old memory foam pillow, and make a nice shooting rest for zeroing in / target practice.......... the bloody thing! you look down range, line up and the bugger , you can just see it sinking slowly slowly down! my original idea was something i could take out on the field with me just for this purpose. (i.e. a smallish bean bag type thing). i was actually cracking up with laughter, watching the damn thing slowly sink down! my idea is, some kind of portable 'infill' for a small bag. beans? poly beads? any of your suggestions, will of course, as usual be no doubt good. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orka Akinse Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Ha ha ha I can see it now....... If you get over the perceived weight issue I have a large sack of plastic beads that I can spare some of for you if you cover the postage? They mak a very robust rest.

EMcC Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 Im use a couple of old socks filled with corn, tied off at six inches long. They can be used standing on end or longways or even one on top of the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
