Rear Bags - What and from where....

Hi,
I am guessing that I am not the only one that finds that different ranges require different set ups. Ours in Batemans Bay for example requires a very high rear bag and or a spacer or a low front rest as the 500 range is slightly downhill, and Wagga range is significantly up hill requiring either a lot of elevation in the front rest and or much lower rear bag setup.  Canberra from memory is somewhere in between,

Having tried both leather and Coudra, I much prefer courda with a bit of powder on them front and rear. I tried silicon spray on the leather, but it seemed to dry sticky. I haven't tried it on courda.

What variety of bags do others use ?  Where do you buy them from ?  Most of the good ones that I have seen for sale (edgewood and protektor) seem to be around 3 1/2" to 4" high to the bottom of the ears.  Where do you get lower ones ?  Custom made higher ones are available from either Protektor or edgewood.  Most gun shops seem to only sell the very basic ones (caldwell and similar).

Cheers

Hello  Anthony    you are correct about needing different height bags and rests to shoot the fly at all our
                       different ranges
                   i used to carry two rests and two bags and a heap of spacers to pack up the bags and rests
                  when i visited   the southern ranges
                  i have solved that problem now that i have a SEB NEO  front rest   it has about twice the height
                 adjustment range  of other rests   but i will still bring some spacers for the rear bag to batemans bay
                            --  just in case --
                  also i have used silicone sprays and baby powder talcs  for the bags and also found that they did not
                             do the job well enough   so now i use micro-fine teflon powder  and for my light gun it does
                   what i want with only one application  for the entire shoot      if it would do the same for a heavy gun
                                                     i don't know  -- only a test or two will tell  --

Hi John,  Cool.. the Seb rest seems like a great bit of kit.

Where do you get your microfine teflon powder ?

Cheers

Hi Anthony    i am lucky to still have some Hoppes teflon powder in a small 11.2gm  puffer bottle
                      but will try and source some from overseas suppliers when i run out
                    aJR in townsville got some from a musical store  for use on keyboards
                       if i manage to find some i will bring it down to the batemans bay shoot  for you to try
                     the teflon powder only needs to be applied once at the start of a shoot  and you don't need
                   much on a bag to get it to slide smoothly  
                            see you in batemans bay
