Post by: cyanchycki on December 22, 2009, 07:53:00 PM
Some of the common equipment found used by shooters at the bench.

Clockwise from left:  towel, Edgewood snake bag(used to keep ejected brass on table), Sand bags(used to support rist and forearm in trigger area), Gel elbow pad, timer, rear bag, rear bag stabilizer donut.  In the middle are superfeet.

Front rest.  This version of front rest is a SEB Coaxial front rest with shell loading block.  The loading block puts the ammo near the height of the loading port.  The ammo block aids the shooter in loading so as to not search for the next round when trying to keep your eyes on your flags.  It also aids the shooters who are quick shooters in getting reloaded at a quicker rate.

I take it Bill you are old school and still like to squeeze your bag.... like Paul Ross.

How about showing us what a well used bag looks like? :-\

It is not a question IF Bill is squeezing his bag,
but how often is choosing to do so.
Sorry Bill, but there was an opening.

Its official. There isn't a bench rest forum out there that Bill haxn't walked into it!!!!
In case noone has seen it check out the lost stool thread at benchrest central. I think we need to get Gammon to Alberta for a match. It would give Calvin a break!!!!
